Vacuum or Dust Mop	Vacuum with proper wood floor attachment regularly.  This will keep dirt and grit off of your floor that may cause premature wear.  Throw rags are recommended in front of your kitchen sink and at each outside door.
Cleaning	Wipe up food or other spills immediately using a damp cloth or paper towel.  Regular cleaning should be done with an alcohol based wood floor cleaner (Note: not for use on a waxed floor) available at most hardware stores.
Shoes	Keep high heeled shoes in good repair.  Heels that have lost their protective cap may cause dents.
Furniture	Use felt pads on the bottom of chair and sofa legs.  We suggest the "peel and stick" because they are easier to change so you'll tend to always have clean pads.  Pads should be changed every six months to a year.
No Wax	Use of wax or other household cleaners containing wax, oils or silicon is not recommended for urethane finished wood floors.  If wax or other treatments are applied, recoating may not be possible.
Recoat	As your floor begins to show wear and does not clean easily, recoating is recommended.  Watch heavy traffic areas, and pivot points for signs of wear.  If the floor is recoated before finish wears through to bare wood, and maintained properly, you should never have to sand and refinish again!
