Recommendations for care after hardwood floors are newly finished:

Name: Woodstock Flooring & Design Center
Address: 6005 Mesker St Schofield, Schofield, WI, 54476, US

Please wait a minimum of 8 hours before walking on floors with stocking feet and 24 hours for shoes. This time may vary depending on the type of finish chosen. Please verify with our office staff.
Allow 48 hours for furniture and pets.
Do NOT use water for one week.
Allow 1 -2 weeks before placing carpets or other area rugs.
Use a humidifier in conjunction with a furnace or air conditioning system to maintain relative humidity in the home at 35-50%. This will maintain the moisture in the wood and minimize cracks between the boards.
Have your floors buffed and recoated every 2 to 3 years in high traffic areas and 3 to 5 years in areas of lower traffic.

Preventative maintenance:

Use dirt-trapping, walk-off mats at all exterior doors to help prevent dirt, grit and sand from getting inside on your floors. Throw rugs or small area rugs just inside the entrances are also helpful.
We recommend putting small Berber carpet or felt pads on the legs of all your furniture. Clean the glides periodically so grit does not get caught on them and replace as needed.
Barrel type roller casters are better than ball casters which will cause damage. Avoid plastic casters.
We recommend soft rubber replacement casters/wheels.
Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth.
Keep high heels in good repair. Heels that have worn down or lost protective caps, exposing the steel support rod in the heel can dent any floor surface.
