CARE & MAINTENANCE.
Whether you've recently installed hardwood flooring in your home or are considering incorporating it into a new design, the following care and maintenance guidelines will keep your floors looking beautiful for years to come.
The first step in ensuring proper care for your hardwood floors is determining the type of finish. At HAUTE PLANK, we offer a proprietary titanium finish that requires easy daily upkeep with occasional deep cleaning. To help you get started, here are some daily maintenance tips and care guidelines for wood floors.
Daily Maintenance Tips & Guidelines.
​
-
Wipe any spills as quickly as possible.
-
Do your best to sweep your floor regularly, especially in homes with excessive dust or pets as hair and dirt can settle in the seams between planks.
-
A Roomba is a great way to keep floors free of dirt and debris! Vacuuming once weekly using the bare floor setting is also a great way to keep floors clean.
-
Never use a wet mop or steam mop.
-
Follow cleaning instructions specific to your floor finish type.
Titanium Finish Care.
For our titanium-finished hardwood, we recommend using a damp sponge, cloth, or a traditional “Swiffer”-style mop for everyday cleaning. Be sure not to leave any excess moisture on the floor. Diluted hardwood floor cleaner works well for larger areas, while spray cleaners are ideal for smaller sections. After cleaning, allow the floor to dry fully before walking on it.
Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines when applying cleaning products. Avoiding overly wet mops is critical, as standing water can lead to discoloration or seep into the planks, compromising the floor's structure. Steam cleaning devices should never be used, as they can damage the finish. Also, avoid home remedies like vinegar, soap, or wax—these can cause long-term damage to your hardwood's finish.
