Summer is hot, the temperature gradually rises, the floor is prone to cracking, arch and other problems. How to maintain the floor to cool down? Feng Wei sorted out a few simple tips to make our floor as original. Here's how:
PART 01
Fire prevention
Do not throw unextinguished cigarette butts and matchsticks and other items with flame onto the Solid Wood Floor, do not use gasoline to wipe the dust and dirt on the floor, so as to avoid static electricity after friction, thereby causing fire
PART 02
moisture-proof
It is easy to have sustained high temperature in summer, when the room becomes very dry, easy to cause the floor to crack and aging, you can open the humidifier, moderately improve the indoor air humidity, to prevent excessive loss of water on the floor
Cool down from the south
In the southern humid Meiyu season, it is best to open the dehumidifier and air conditioner to dehumidify to control the air humidity. Ground wet ground, especially the first floor and the basement, need to do a good job of the waterproof layer of the base before laying the Wood Floor, laying the plate is best to brush waterproof paint in advance.
Cool down from the north
Northern high temperature weather coupled with summer rain, hot and humid, easy to cause the floor arch and other problems, at this time can also open the dehumidification function of the air conditioner, reduce the indoor temperature, pay attention to this time try not to let the air conditioner blow against the floor.
Tips
1. Use air conditioners and dehumidifiers to adjust the indoor humidity, keeping it between 40%-60%.
2. Pay attention to the placement of plants and avoid placing plants on the floor to prevent stagnant water from breeding mold.
PART 03
waterproof
Do not use a dripping mop or soapy water to mop the floor, the paint, the board will have a direct impact (damp mold deformation, dim luster, etc.), if you really want to use a wet mop to mop the floor, but also try to dry the mop to 7 percent dry, to prevent water molecules from penetrating into the floor resulting in moisture mold.
If you accidentally sprinkle water on the solid wood floor, wipe it clean with a soft rag in time and keep it dry to avoid warping, cracking and mildew.
PART 04
Sun protection
Summer strong sunlight is the enemy of floor maintenance, long-term exposure will lead to discoloration of the floor surface, cracking, and even cause floor deformation. Therefore, we need to take some measures to prevent the floor exposure:
① Draw the curtains in time to prevent high temperature exposure
The biggest threat to wood flooring in summer is actually high temperature + exposure. The floor near the window or balcony is prone to the "barbecue mode" of the sun in summer, which causes the floor to shrink, produce cracks, and age and crack in advance.
Therefore, it is recommended that the curtain choose a good shading effect, and timely closing the curtain can reduce the sun exposure hazard of more than 90% on the floor of the home!
Pay attention to keep ventilation
There is a lot of rain in summer, sometimes the humidity in the home is relatively high, and the wood floor is prone to arch and curling after moisture, so it is necessary to pay attention to regular ventilation.
Choose early morning or late afternoon ventilation, and try to avoid opening Windows in direct sun or rain.
PART 05
Damage proof
Do not wear shoes with nails to walk on the solid wood floor, some rough, heavy and relatively high hardness items, can not be directly placed on the solid wood floor, to prevent scratching, if this happens, should be repaired in time.
When heavy objects are placed, they should be placed on one side as much as possible, because this can allow the other side of the floor to move freely, so as not to cause the floor to arch. Bedding pads are also necessary for protection.
PART 06
anti-fouling
Corrosive liquids, strong acid and strong alkaline substances, such as toilet cleaners, kitchen remover should not be used to clean the floor; High-temperature liquids or objects are prohibited from being placed directly on the surface of the wood floor to avoid damage to the surface.
If it is the general dirt left by water-soluble substances, you can wipe off the floating dust first, and then wipe with a soft rag dipped in a little thicker tea. For cleaners that do not understand the chemical properties, they can not be used at will, so as not to cause unnecessary chemical reactions and cause damage to the floor.
Sum up
In order to let us have a cooler and more comfortable home environment, we should pay attention to the maintenance of details in daily life, extend their service life, and double the cool and happy life at home.
