				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Owning hardwood floors is not only aesthetically pleasing, but can increase the value of any home. Taking care of your hardwood floors through regular cleaning and maintenance is crucial for ensuring quality. Are you unsure of where to start? There are several easy ways to clean and take care of your hardwood floors! Here&#8217;s some basic hardwood floor 101; the do&#8217;s, don&#8217;ts, and musts:</p>
<h2>The Do&#8217;s</h2>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Worried about dust? If you aren&#8217;t a fan of brooms, you can make due with a vacuum&#8217;s soft brush attachment. Otherwise, a broom that has soft and fine bristles works best for attracting dust bunnies.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Just because we don&#8217;t want you to leave spills on your floors doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t get it wet at all! When cleaning make sure to squeeze all the water out to ensure a damp rag.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">The best recipe for a floor cleaning solution is only two ingredients; about 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar and a gallon of water. Mop with this simple mix for dirt free floors. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Interested in keeping things shiny? Try steeping two tea bags in bowling water for a few minutes for a quick solution. </span></li>
</ol>
<p></br> </p>
<h2>The Don&#8217;ts</h2>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Never let spilled water settle on your hardwood, it will creep it&#8217;s way through the top layer and begin to warp it.</span></li>
</ol>
<p></br></p>
<h2>The Musts</h2>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Attach some sort of protective layer (self-adhesive gliding pads are great) to the feet of any furniture. Any sort of dragging can scratch your floor, causing another problem all together. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Use carpet runners, rugs, and mats to protect your floor from daily activity. If you have any sort of computer chair, think about adding a plastic floor protector to the mix.</span></li>
</ol>
