Floor maintenance should start with daily dusting. Use specialized cleaners for wood floors, and neutral cleaners for tiles and stone, and avoid excessive moisture. If you encounter scratches or damage, seek professional help and do not attempt improper DIY repairs.
Daily floor maintenance
Floors must be maintained according to the material properties. Before cleaning, test the cleaner to ensure it does not cause discoloration, and avoid overly wet mopping to prevent moisture from penetrating and damaging the subfloor.
- Wood floors: It is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner for dusting, accompanied by a wrung-out mop or specialized wood cleaner.
- Tiles or stone: Use a neutral cleaner diluted with water and wipe; be sure to keep the floor dry to prevent slipping.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to remove surface dust and sand.
- Dilute the neutral cleaner with clean water.
- Wipe evenly with a damp mop, then finish by wiping dry with a cloth.
Deep cleaning and protection
If the floor has stubborn stains, it is not recommended to blindly use strong acids or alkalis to avoid corroding the finish. Professional deep cleaning should use appropriate machinery and polishing wax according to manufacturer recommendations.
- Polishing wax: Can fill microscopic pores and form a protective film; it is recommended to use it according to the cycle in the product manual.
- Professional equipment: Involving the operation of industrial floor cleaning machines, it is recommended to hire a professional team to handle this to ensure safety.
- Assess the cleaner suitable for your flooring material.
- Use a professional floor scrubbing machine to handle large-area grime.
- Wait for the floor to dry completely, then proceed with sealing and waxing if necessary.

When to stop DIY and seek support
If you find the following situations, please stop cleaning yourself: large-area swelling of the surface, severe discoloration, water seeping out from under the floor, or strange odors. These signs usually indicate structural problems or water leakage, requiring professional intervention.
