Nowadays, wooden flooring has become the preferred choice for many families, but due to insufficient understanding of the use and precautions of wooden flooring, many problems have arisen in the later stage. Today, the editor will take everyone together to understand the 7 major obstacles that cannot be ignored in the daily maintenance of wooden flooring, so that everyone can use it for a longer and happier time.

1. Insects

When insects grow on the floor, it is important to first understand where they originate. Only by controlling the source of the insects can effective pest control be achieved, as not all insects are produced by wooden floors.

The process of home decoration involves the use of many materials such as wooden boards and particleboards, as well as many wooden furniture structures. When encountering suitable temperature and humidity, and if these products are not treated with professional pest control before processing, they can easily grow insects. The most easily damaged by insects is wood, and wooden flooring will become the primary choice for insect damage. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to moisture-proof measures in daily life.

If you are laying solid wood flooring, you should pay attention to the quality of the wooden keel. If the moisture content of the wooden keel is too high or the wood itself is not treated with insect removal, it may also bury hidden dangers.

If the gaps in the wooden floor are too large, dirt falling in can also breed insects. Therefore, when laying the floor, in addition to necessary reservations, try not to leave large gaps.

2. Water accumulation/rain exposure

If the floor is not treated in a timely manner after water accumulation or rain, it can cause discoloration, water stains, and cracking of the floor. Therefore, when the floor is flooded, it should be wiped clean in a timely manner to keep it dry.

3. Air conditioning/heater/electric carpet

Long term use of air conditioning/heaters/electric carpets can cause indoor air to become abnormally dry, making the floor prone to cracking and shrinkage, leading to gaps and noise. The use of electric carpets requires the laying of padding on the floor for protection.

4. Daylight

After direct sunlight, ultraviolet radiation can cause cracking and fading of the floor surface paint. Curtains or blinds should be used to block and avoid prolonged direct sunlight.

5. Oil contamination

After encountering oil stains on solid wood floors, if not treated in a timely manner, oil stains and discoloration will occur. It is necessary to carefully wipe with cleaning agents, toner, etc. After using the cleaning agent, it is necessary to wipe with a wrung dry cloth. After losing its luster, it needs to be waxed and maintained.

6. Pets

Pet excrement can cause alkaline corrosion on solid wood flooring, leading to discoloration and stains. In addition, pets' paws can also scratch the solid wood floor, so it is recommended that excrement collectors use reinforced or wear-resistant wood flooring.

7. Tables and chairs/heavy objects

In order to minimize dents and scratches and maintain the aesthetics of the floor for a long time, it is recommended to cover the feet of tables and chairs with a pad or place a pad under the swivel chair; Under heavy objects such as pianos and refrigerators, a cushion board should be laid for protection.
