To extend its lifespan and ensure its shine, it is essential to clean and protect it regularly! Follow the appropriate steps and habits for your lacquered wood floor by checking out the tips in this guide!

Prolonging the life of your lacquered wood floor

To ensure your lacquered wood floor remains in good condition, it is essential to install a wood floor suited to the room’s use and to maintain it properly!

Preventing wear

To preserve your wood floor over the long term, it is crucial to take some precautions to ensure your planks age well.

First, it is very important to ensure that abrasive elements do not come into contact with your wood floor. Sand, gravel, and furniture marks can leave irreparable traces on your wood floor. It’s easy to prevent this: installing a doormat at the entrance of the house will prevent users from bringing in sand or gravel under their shoes. For furniture, simply placing felt pads under the legs will prevent scratches or marks from appearing.

To adopt the right cleaning and maintenance habits for your wood floor, it is also important to assess the cleaning and maintenance needs by determining their frequency. Dusting may need to be more frequent depending on the room’s use. However, be careful not to use a mop too often, as it could irreparably damage the wood of your flooring!

Cleaning your lacquered wood floor

To properly maintain your wood floor, you must first clean it regularly! To prevent dust and dirt from accumulating on your wood flooring, it is important to dust with a broom or vacuum cleaner. For marks and various stains, a sponge or a slightly damp mop will suffice. Be sure to wring out your mop well to prevent water from seeping into your planks and causing significant damage. Avoid using aggressive detergents with ammonia, silicone, or abrasives, as they could leave irreparable marks on your wood flooring and negate all your maintenance efforts.

For effective cleaning of your lacquered wood floor, Panaget’s Lacquered Wood Flooring Cleaner is recommended. The cleaner degreases, cleans, and revives lacquered wood floors, whether it is satin or matt. This cleaning should be done once a month at most to avoid any risk of buildup.

In the event of accidental spills of household products or significant soiling of the wood floor surface, do not hesitate to seek advice from your retailer to adapt the cleaning method.

Maintaining lacquered wood floors

Over time, your lacquer layer will naturally wear down. Depending on your assessment of the lacquer wear, a protective layer of “polish” or “satin or matt renovator” can be applied to regenerate the appearance of the lacquer.

However, be sure to vacuum the dust thoroughly before applying the renovator or polish to ensure perfect adhesion. After applying a layer with a mop, you will see immediate results. Your wood floor will regain its beautiful shine, and small scratches will disappear! It is recommended to repeat this operation once a year to best preserve your wood floor from wear and keep it beautiful throughout its life!
