What You Can Do Yourself
Parquet flooring is such a beautiful addition to any space, but as time passes, it can suffer from dents and gaps, along with the finish dulling. This can be down to a wide range of factors, from heavy wear and tear to incorrect cleaning materials being used on it. Luckily, there are some things that you can do yourself to protect your parquet flooring in Essex.
Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning is a key part of keeping your parquet floor blocks in great condition. Use a soft broom or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment, and do not wet mop or use steam cleaners. This is because moisture can damage the wood and loosen the blocks.
Simple Repairs
Small scratches or scuff marks can sometimes be gently buffed out with a soft cloth and a bit of wood floor cleaner. For deeper marks, wax or wood filler pencils are good temporary solutions until you invest in professional restoration services.
Take Protective Measures
Foot traffic and moving furniture are two of the things that damage parquet flooring the most. So, how can you prevent this? Placing felt pads under furniture legs and using rugs in high-traffic areas are simple yet really effective.
