If you’re fortunate to have a stunning natural wood parquet floor, diligent maintenance keeps it looking pristine. For superficial stains, gently rub with black soap and a quackgrass brush. Potato cooking water effectively removes traces too. For stubborn stains, use a circular sander. Once cleaned, apply a protective treatment product across the entire surface.
Waxed floors resist set-in stains well but require regular waxing for protection. First, thoroughly clean to remove dust and grime, ensuring the floor is fully dry. Choose wax matching your wood’s natural color or slightly darker. Apply with a cloth, let dry for at least five hours, then buff with a cloth to remove excess and prevent streaks on clothes.
Painted floors handle dirt effortlessly—a quick sponge or mop wipe does the trick. Opt for dishwashing liquid or black soap; avoid abrasives and brushes that damage paint or wood. Dry immediately with a cloth instead of air drying. If paint peels, reapply a coat. Waxing adds extra protection.
