Tips for maintaining home floors
Decoration is a major event for every family. If you are deceived during the process, even if you decorate a small family, it will not be smooth even if it is luxuriously decorated. Many consumers do not understand the situation before signing a contract, and designers usually "If you don't ask, even if you know &rdquo." At the same time, it is difficult to meet personalized decoration for home decoration. Its fixed main material brands and styles have low freedom of choice.
【1】Laminated wood flooring
Laminated wood flooring maintenance is much simpler than solid wood flooring. When cleaning the floor, be careful to keep the floor dry, do not rinse it with a lot of water, and be careful to avoid localized water soaking on the floor. When cleaning stains, use neutral detergents to avoid direct sunlight, rain, moisture, etc. In addition, paying attention to indoor ventilation and maintaining indoor temperature is also conducive to extending the life of the floor. Laminated floors do not require paint or waxing. Unlike solid wood floors, do not polish them with sandpaper.
【2】Solid wood flooring
Improper installation and use of solid wood flooring will cause quality problems for qualified products. When maintaining solid wood floors, pay attention to the dryness and cleaning of the floor. When laying solid wood floors, if there is no moisture-proof treatment and the bathroom and room floor are not isolated properly, it will affect the life of the floor. If you are wet with water or scrubbed with alkaline water or soapy water, it will destroy the brightness of the paint. In summer, do not pay attention to pulling the curtains, so that the floor in front of the bed will change color and crack after exposure to sunlight. The air conditioner temperature is turned on too low, causing the temperature to change too much during the day and at night, causing the floor to expand or contract too violently, causing the floor to deform and crack.
During use, if some floors are found to be shelled or fall off, the floor should be taken out in time, the old glue and ash should be shoveled off, and the new glue should be applied to compact. Waxing once a month is also the best maintenance method, but wipe the water vapor and stains clean before waxing.
【3】Solid wood laminate flooring
Maintenance of solid wood laminate flooring is simpler than solid wood flooring. Keeping the floor dry and clean, mop the floor without dripping mop, and rubbing the floor without alkaline water or soapy water can effectively protect the floor.
If the air at home is dry, the mop can be wet or a basin of water is placed on the heating, or you can use a humidifier to increase humidity. Try to avoid sun exposure to the sun to prevent surface paint from aging and cracking early under ultraviolet rays for a long time. Stains that are accidentally stained on some plates should be removed in time. If there is oil stain, use a rag to dip it in warm water and dip it in a small amount of washing powder. If it is a drug or pigment, it must be removed before the stain is penetrated like a wooden surface.
【4】High temperature floors must be “Summer escape”
In summer and hot weather, the most common problem with the floor is shrinking and leaving the gap, because in high temperature state, the moisture inside the wood is easily evaporated, causing the floor volume to shrink, resulting in widening of the gap at the floor splicing, and in severe cases, even breaking and cracking.
Enclosed space and continuous high temperatures are the culprits for the gap between wooden floors. The renovated new house has been left unattended for a long time, and the house is closed and breathable, which makes the indoor temperature very high, and the house is no different from the drying kiln. Under such circumstances, the moisture contained in the floor continues to evaporate, and severe shrinkage is certainly inevitable.
Some people say, “Since the high temperature is so terrible, then turn on the air conditioner and lower the temperature! ”But little do you know that air conditioning is also equivalent to a dehumidifier. People will feel that they are very dry after staying in the air-conditioned room for a long time, as is the case with wood. Long-term blowing of the air-conditioning against the floor will also cause shrinkage.
In addition, wooden floors are also afraid of scorching sun. Many floors are off-slit on the balcony or on the window. Exposure to the sun may also cause the paint film to blister, discolor, or even fall off. The wood still has some living characteristics after being cut down, so you should be more careful and considerate when dealing with the floor.
People must stay in a residence with wooden floors. If you really cannot stay in immediately, then you must always keep it ventilated, breathable, heat dissipation, etc. Try not to blow the air conditioner against the floor, as the indoor feeling is dry, you can humidify appropriately. When going out, you should pull the curtains to avoid direct sunlight on the floor.
