Eliza asked:
Wood flooring has a long history beginning with the rustic floors of pioneer log cabins to today’s designer styles and use of exotic woods, inlays and patterns. Whether you are considering the installation of wood floors or already enjoy the warmth and beauty of wood floors in your Atlanta home, use this helpful information to protect your valuable investment and keep those floors looking great.
Simple to Sophisticated
Wood floors come in a wide variety of colors, styles and types ranging from soft woods like pine to complex wood inlays created from exotic woods. To properly care for your wood floor it is important to understand the type of wood used including the level of hardness. Remember, the softer the wood the easier it is to scratch or form “impressions” due to heavy weight , dragging furniture or other impact situations. In general, all wood floors require the following as a minimum standard precaution:
· A quick sweep or vacuuming. Always use a soft dust mop type broom or protective bristle attachment.
· Dry mop. Never use a wet mop. Water can dull the shine of your wood floors.
· Door mats. Purchase a few good door mats to place at the entrance of your Atlanta home to help eliminate grit and dirt that can scratch wood floors
Special Situations & Wood Floor Cleaning
As a general rule of thumb the more complex the design of the inlay - or the more soft the wood used - the more care and attention is required to properly maintain the floor. Soft woods like pine are also becoming popular choices due to their great appearance and versatile use, however, additional care is required to keep them from scratching due to heavy furniture or general wear and tear.
Wood floor inlays and patterns are a popular option among many home owners but speak to a professional wood floor cleaning company like Kiwi Services of Atlanta on how to best preserve and care for this investment. Proper wood floor cleaning can prevent your floors from becoming cloudy or dull in appearance as well as eliminate noise when walking.

K T asked:
We live in SW MO & the rain has turned to sleet and ice, with snow coming after that. We live out of the city limits in wooded sub. We stand a good chance of losing power. I wanted to know how much wood do I need for one whole day?
I appreciate your response.
I have wood outside, I just wanted to make sure I have enough.

Free Range Chicken asked:
I need to fill some cracks in my 120 yr old hardwood floor that I am refinishing. I also have to patch a few spots with new wood. I just want something that will fill good, and stain with the wood. Should I just use the Wal-mart “Elmers” or the more expensive stuff I’ve seen in some hardware stores?
