Wood Floor Mopping | Bellingham | Ken's Custom Floors

Hardwood floor maintenance doesn’t require a lot of time. You do, however, want to be careful to fully protect your investment. The number one rule is to make sure you always use a wood floor cleaning product when it’s time to clean. Contrary to belief, other cleaning products for surfaces like tile and vinyl will not get the job done and may even damage the floor. Cleaning the floor regularly is actually quite easy. Learn the proper way of wood floor mopping to keep the surface spotless.

Wood Floor Mopping and Important Suggestions

Don’t mop a wood floor when the surface is wet. If there’s a spill, immediately wipe it up with a lightly moist cloth. You won’t want a full wet cleaning because it may dull the finish and leave a wet residue that could affect the color of the wood.

When you wax the floor, be careful not to have excess wax gather up under furniture and other infrequently used areas. Be careful about how much wax you use. Sometimes, a buffing is all you need when the floor starts to appear dull.

Speaking of furniture, place protectors under all legs. It’s important to keep checking the leg protectors as well – dirt can get stuck to them, which scratches the surface when you drag the furniture. Furthermore, keep all sports cleats off the floor; high heel shoes may cause scratches as well, so put them on by the door to avoid any unwanted mishaps.

Following these simple steps can save you in the long-run. Diligent care and precautions like the furniture guards can prevent scratches and deterioration for many years to come.

Ken and his team were very thoughtful, professional and did an amazing job. They were conscientious about the noise and the dust with our little kids. They were prompt and exceeded our expectations! You can really tell Ken cares about his clients just as much as he cares about his work. I'm so happy we chose Ken and his team for our floor remodel!

Ken and his employee, both, did an excellent job addressing our squeaky floors and also installing more of our existing laminate throughout our home. Our floors look wonderful! They were on time, masked, neat, and got done in a timely fashion. Both were friendly and Ken is great at explaining everything along the way. We found his pricing to be very fair as well. He presented us with a detailed bid to start, which we found to be very helpful. I whole heartedly recommend Ken for your flooring needs.

We had a large carpeted sitting room with connected dining room that we wanted to replace with nailed bamboo floor. Ken found us an excellent product which was also good match for the existing kitchen area with oak boards. Ken's very experienced assistant, Frank, worked for four days taking out the carpet and trim and then installing the bamboo with amazing precision and skill. We couldn't be happier with the result! It has added light to the living areas and a beautiful glow and finish of real wood. We highly recommend Ken and his team and won't hesitate to hire them for any future wood flooring.

Ken and Frank did a spectacular job on our flooring install. Clearly experts at what they do. They were fast, smart and easy to work with. I really appreciated how clean they were. I have already recommended them to friends and should I need flooring services in the future, I will go to Ken without a doubt. Thanks, Ken!

We used Ken's Custom Floors to source and install new engineered hardwood in our new home that we're remodeling. Ken had competitive pricing, was flexible with our schedule, completed the job on time, and most of all the flooring looks great! We will recommend Ken to friends/family. Thanks Ken.

Ken was easy to work with and explained the different types of wood flooring. We started out thinking oak but had hickory put in. Ken is very hard working and put in many hours and our floors are beautiful. I would have no reservations about recommending Ken’s Flooring.

Ken and his crew were very professional and worked hard to install our floors around us and our furniture. I especially appreciated the way they stayed on schedule and cleaned up so thoroughly when then were finished.

My husband and I trusted Ken right away. He’s a straight up, hard working and intelligent guy. Our instincts were bang on and Ken and his team did an exceptional job laying vinyl over the ugliest tile I hated so much. It’s like we have a brand new home!! We get a ton of compliments including the cut around our rock fireplace. Ken deserves 6 stars for such a fabulous job!!
