Engineered wood floors bring elegance and warmth to any home or business, but to keep them looking their best, proper cleaning and care are essential. With the right techniques, you can maintain their beauty and durability for many years. For professional flooring advice, premium engineered wood products, and expert installation, trust Tarek Fouad to guide you every step of the way.

Step 1: Daily Dusting or Sweeping

Dust and dirt can scratch the protective surface of engineered wood floors. Use a soft-bristle broom, a microfiber mop, or a vacuum cleaner with a hardwood floor attachment to remove debris daily.

Step 2: Weekly Light Mopping

Engineered wood floors should never be soaked. Instead, use a slightly damp mop with a cleaner specifically designed for wood flooring. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or ammonia, as they can damage the finish.

Step 3: Handle Spills Immediately

If you spill water, juice, or any liquid, wipe it up right away with a dry, soft cloth. Standing water can cause swelling, staining, or warping, so quick action is important.

Step 4: Protect from Scratches

• Use felt pads under furniture legs.
  
• Place rugs in high-traffic areas.
  
• Avoid wearing high heels or dragging heavy items across the floor.
  

Step 5: Seasonal Care

In Egypt and similar climates, humidity can vary. Use a humidifier in winter or an air conditioner in summer to keep moisture levels balanced, protecting the layers of engineered wood from expansion or contraction.

Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Do not use steam mops – they push excess moisture into the floor.
❌ Do not use wax or oil-based soaps unless recommended by the manufacturer.
❌ Do not ignore scratches; cover them with repair kits or touch-up markers.

Conclusion

Cleaning engineered wood floors doesn’t have to be complicated — just consistent. With gentle daily cleaning, proper mopping, and protection against moisture and scratches, your floors will maintain their timeless beauty for years.
