Main precautions for maintaining and drying wooden flooring in summer

Due to the characteristic of wet expansion and dry shrinkage of wooden flooring, and the increase in temperature and humidity in summer, industry professionals believe that the maintenance of wooden flooring in summer is mainly focused on dryness, and the following six major points should also be noted:

1. In summer, it is necessary to regularly ventilate, especially in unoccupied rooms, which are prone to arching and curling due to long-term vacancy. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check and ventilate.

2. The floor should be kept dry and clean, and it is not allowed to use dripping mops to mop the floor, or use alkaline or soapy water to wipe the floor, in order to avoid damaging the gloss of the paint surface. If there are stains on the board surface accidentally, they should be removed in a timely manner. If there are oil stains, they can be wiped with a cloth dipped in warm water and a small amount of laundry detergent. If there are drugs or pigments, they must be removed before the stains penetrate the wooden surface to avoid damaging the floor.

3. Avoid wiping the floor with a damp cloth every day, preferably once a week. Be sure to wring the water dry when wiping the floor. When there is dust on the floor of a room with wooden flooring, a vacuum cleaner should be used as much as possible to clean it.

4. The slippers worn during bathing in summer should not be worn in rooms with wooden floors. After wearing slippers for a period of time, the soles of the shoes will wear and tear, and a lot of water will be sucked in during bathing. After taking a shower, wearing slippers into a room with a wooden floor will cause the wooden floor to absorb the water inside the slippers and cause swelling and curling.

5. It is rainy in summer, and when there is no one in the room with wooden flooring, the windows should be closed to avoid unnecessary damage caused by rainwater getting wet on the floor.

6. The sauna weather is hot and humid, and the floor is prone to arching. At this time, the dehumidification function of the air conditioning should be turned on to reduce indoor humidity and avoid arching.

When you notice signs of arching on the wooden floor, it is important to report it for repair in a timely manner. Do not wait for the wooden floor to arch too high before reporting for repair. At the same time, do not step on the arched parts as much as possible to avoid damaging the notch and not fully restoring it.
