1. Introduction

Wooden flooring is elegant, warm, and timeless—but to keep it looking its best, it needs regular maintenance. Especially in Indian homes, where dust, humidity, and seasonal changes can affect wood, following the right care routine can significantly increase its lifespan and shine.

2. Why Wooden Floor Maintenance Matters

• Prevents scratches and surface dullness
  
• Protects from moisture damage and swelling
  
• Keeps floors looking polished and new
  
• Avoids costly repairs or replacements
  
• Extends the life of your flooring by 10–20 years
  

3. Daily and Weekly Cleaning Tips

✅ Daily Care

• Use a soft broom or vacuum with a soft brush attachment
  
• Avoid excess dust buildup, especially in corners
  
• Mop lightly with a damp microfiber mop (never wet!)
  

✅ Weekly Care

• Use a pH-neutral wood cleaner
  
• Gently buff the floor with a soft dry cloth
  
• Clean under rugs and furniture to avoid trapped dirt
