Maintenace of Lacquered Hardwood Floor  

A lacquered hardwood floor will naturally wear, depending in the stresses to which it is exposed. For this reason, it is recommended that the floor is regularly maintained.  

Daily: Floors should be swept and vacuumed to remove dust and dirt. Entrance matting should also be cleaned and vacuumed regularly.  

As required: Dirt and spillages should be removed using a damp mop and a cleaner recommended for lacquered wood floors. Care should be taken to restrict the amount of water left on the surface.  

Occasionally: The floor should be treated with an acrylic floor polish. Use as directed on the container.  

Periodic maintenance: It is advised that the condition of the lacquered finish is monitored every six months. When it proves necessary to do so, apply further coasts of finish. Follow instructions on container.  

Notes: Dirt and sand act like sandpaper on the floor and therefore should be removed as soon as possible. We recommend the use of felt pads on all table and chair legs and a good size door mat at the entrance.  

Despite regular maintenance, after a period of time- possibly some years – the floor will require refinishing. At this time, please see the advice of a professional floor restorer. For further assistance, please contact Fore Wood Floors - We're happy to help!
