When purchasing building materials for renovation, wooden flooring is an important part of it. It would be a pity if you spend a lot of money to buy the wooden floor at home and it will be scrapped prematurely due to improper use. Today's floor maintenance knowledge class will introduce the top ten factors that affect the life of the floor.
1. Oil pollution
If the oil stain on the floor is not treated in time, it will cause oil stains and discoloration. Therefore, after the floor is stained with oil, it should be wiped clean immediately with detergent, water, etc.
2. Daylight
After direct sunlight, ultraviolet rays will cause cracks in the paint on the floor surface. When decorating, owners should take this into consideration and use curtains or blinds to block direct sunlight.
3. Water accumulation
If water accumulates on the floor surface, if it is not treated in time, it will cause discoloration of the floor, water stains, cracks, etc. Therefore, when using the floor daily, water stains should be wiped off in time to keep the floor dry.
4. Pharmacy
If the floor is accidentally stained with chemicals, it should be wiped with detergent and water in time. In addition, chemicals will also reduce the gloss of the floor surface, so waxing and maintenance are required.
5. Heavy objects
After decorating the floor, do not move the furniture into the new house immediately. After 24 hours, it is also necessary to place pads under solid wood furniture, refrigerators and other heavy objects for protection to prevent local excessive load-bearing from causing dents and scratches on the floor.
6. Rain
Wooden floors are inherently water-repellent. If exposed to rain, the floor surface will become discolored and cracked. Therefore, after renovation, the floors in your home should be waterproof.
7. Air conditioning
If the air conditioner is used for a long time, the indoor air will become abnormally dry, and the floor will easily expand and contract, resulting in gaps and sounds in the floor. Therefore, when using the floor daily, you need to ventilate the room frequently.
8. Pets
Pet excrement can cause alkaline corrosion to wood, causing discoloration and stains on the floor. So owners who have pets at home also need to pay attention to this.
9. Detergent
After renovation, alkaline detergents must not be used when wiping the floor. The components in the wood will react chemically with alkaline substances, causing the floor to change or produce stains. After using detergent, wipe it with a wrung dry cloth.
10. Floor wax
After decoration, you should choose a suitable floor wax. Before waxing the floor, you should first try out a small area of the floor in a corner of the room or other inconspicuous places, and then start waxing the floor fully after confirming that there is no problem.
