The parquet floors are characterized by bringing elegance and originality to your rooms, which are covered by an aura of distinction and a particular warm and welcoming touch.
However, it is a material that requires special care. This means that the parquet floor must be cleaned with a certain frequency and with certain materials, and that specific damage such as scratches, certain cleaning products and even the sun's rays must be taken care of.
So if you want to restore the shine to your parquet floor at home, it is important that you first learn how to keep it clean on a daily basis and with the right tools. When cleaning your parquet floor, keep in mind that it only needs to be dusted and soiled once a week.
To do this work, the best option is to use a vacuum cleaner. This allows the dust to be removed without damaging the appearance of the parquet with the scratches that a hard bristle broom could produce. Other factors, such as humidity or heat, can also affect your parquet floor, causing it to lose its original colour and shine.
Therefore, before you proceed to restore its shine you should make sure that it has no dust to remove or dirt to remove. If you have to remove stains from your wood floor, it is best to use a mop in combination with a mild product that does not weaken or damage the parquet.
This part of the cleaning process involves mixing the product in question with water in a bucket and then immediately spreading it over the floor. Make sure the mop is sufficiently drained to protect your floor from excess moisture. After mopping the floor, you should dry it as quickly as possible, airing the area and removing any remaining moisture with a soft, dry cloth.
The factors mentioned above, along with wear and tear and the passage of time, cause your wood floor to take on a worn, lifeless appearance. A long history of parties, pets and the constant action of the sun's rays have caused your floor to lose its shine.
After cleaning it, it's time to restore its shine. To do this, you will apply a special parquet floor product once a month. It is important that you do not use homemade formulas to do the job, especially those containing vinegar.
Vinegar can make your floor shine almost immediately, but over time it damages the wood. The key with this product is to use it as a last resort, or while you're finding the ideal product. Among the most recommended, you can use linseed or pine oil, which nourish the wood, or use wax.
Waxes are excellent when it comes to making your parquet shine. It is enough to apply it well and uniformly on your floor, after having previously removed stains, dust and other dirt.
To achieve an optimal result, you can follow this simple process:
1) Pre-cleaning: this has allowed you to clear the space, remove dust and detect various dirt. This is the point where you use the vacuum cleaner and the mop, and your floor is ready to recover all its luminosity.
2) Pour the wax on your floor: apply the right product to worn or damaged surfaces, or apply it evenly throughout the space.
3) Use a mop: spread it out with a mop, making sure that your movements follow the direction of the wood grains that form your floor.
4) Allow the wax to work: apply the product, leave it to work for 30 minutes or more, and you're done.
Follow this simple method and you will recover the shine of your floor, while nourishing the wood to maintain all its elegance and warmth.
