Parquet floor cleaning & cleaner

Cleaning a parquet floor is best achieved by brushing and wiping, an occasional hand polish never does any harm. If the floor needs repair or refurbishment over time, elements can be replaced and repaired.

A new or restored parquet floor can be cleaned daily using dry methods such as vacuuming (do not use an upright hoover using the main hoover with a brush cleaner, as this may scour and pit the surface) or damp-cleaning if necessary.

Vacuum cleaning

We discourage the use of upright vacuum cleaners with brushes set to spin, as can scratch and wear the surface as grit particles become embedded in the spinning brushes. Over time this will make the floor unsightly and left alone, damage to floors can get worse, so you may  then need to sand the parquet. Often, when used for cleaning hard surfaces like parquet, modern vacuum cleaners will have a switch to turn off the brushes. This will help preserve the parquet surface finish when cleaning. So if you're someone who prefers to use the vacuum cleaner everywhere, rather than picking up a broom and dust pan, then maybe it's time to invest in a new vacuum cleaner with the right facilities if your old one doesn't have them and you want to keep your wooden floor looking spick and span and avoid the need for refinishing your parquet floors!

Do not use water to clean parquet floors, always use a manufacturers recommended cleaner. Standing water can stain or damage the wood.

We advise you to use cleaning products that can be used on wooden floor. Re-coating products used for the parquet floor depends upon the amount of traffic you expect to have.

To sum up -  as with all wooden floors, keeping parquet clean and cleaning regularly with the right products should help you maintain a smart look.
