Like everything that is made of natural wood, parquet requires special care and compliance with certain operating rules. If the process of harvesting and periodic prevention of wear of the parquet is set correctly, then the floor of natural wood will delight the owners with warmth, comfort and magnificent appearance for a long time. The service life of the parquet floor primarily depends on the quality of the varnish coating. Varnish in this case is not so much and not only aesthetic whims, but a functional necessity. Such a coating protects the floor surface from moisture and dust, the formation of small scratches. Daily Parquet cleaning should be reduced to sweeping or cleaning the floor with a vacuum cleaner, and only several times a week if necessary, you can wipe the parquet with a well -squeezed rag. If it happened that a large amount of water got on the parquet floor, it is urgent to wipe it dry and do not walk on it for some time, giving the opportunity to “move” from shock. In order to additional protection, the parquet today applies specialized tools that must be applied regularly to the floor in order to maintain the presence of a thin protective film. For a standard residential apartment, it is recommended to repeat the procedure every two months. In places of reinforced loads and wear, you can protect the floor with rugs. So, at the entrance to the apartment, it is recommended to lay two of their types: hard, for removing sand and dirt from the soles of the shoe, and soft, for excess moisture. To preserve the pristine type of parquet floor under those furniture that regularly move on wheels, you can use special polyvinyl chloride rugs. They are transparent and will not spoil the appearance of the room. Furniture on the legs must be “shod” in felt or felt. For daily care, as well as for general cleaning the parquet, special cleaners are needed that do not contain abrasive particles, aggressive components, and capable of gently and efficiently remove dirt. Much less often used by the preventive event, but from the no less important is the updating of the varnish coating. Over time, depending on wear and loads on the floor, it must be completely removed with special equipment, and then apply a new layer. This procedure is usually performed every five to eight years.
