Hardwood flooring has advantages over other flooring. Bacteria, dust and dirt do not embed themselves in wood flooring, as they do in other flooring options. Simple regular maintenance-such as dust mopping, sweeping, or vacuuming-keeps wood floors sanitary.
Millions of people suffer from sensitivity to chemicals and toxins. Tests by leading allergists have proven that wood flooring provides a healthier environment for these allergy sufferers. Wood doesn't harbor irritating dust and microorganisms.

A commonly asked question is: Once installed, how often must wood flooring be replaced? Every hundred years or so. In fact, the heart pine floors in historic Bacon's Castle in Virginia are more than three centuries old and counting. Simple care and maintenance keeps wood floors looking beautiful for a lifetime. Instead of laying an entirely new floor when the original is worn, wood floors can be rejuvenated with sanding and refinishing. When done by a wood flooring professional, wood floors need only to be refinished every 10 - 15 years or 10 - 12 times during a floor's life. When a wood floor's useful life is over, it's completely biodegradable.

Another common question that we get asked regularly is: How do I clean my floor? Sweep or vacuum the floor regularly in order to keep abrasives such as sand from damaging your floor. Never use wax, oil-based detergents or any household cleaners to clean your Prefinished flooring. This may dull the finish. Use specialized hardwood flooring cleaning products such as Basic Coatings Squeaky Cleaner.
