After the wooden floor is purchased and installed in place, in the process of long-term use, daily maintenance is the most important, which directly affects the service life of the floor. Some reinforced floors that have been used for nearly ten years are still intact, while others that have only been in service for two or three years are full of defects. The secret lies in the word "maintenance".
Although laminate flooring has many advantages such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, compression resistance, impact resistance, easy cleaning, care and good dimensional stability, scientific maintenance can not be ignored in use. Jiarui flooring is a responsible manufacturer, leading the specialization of flooring services in China. After carefully analyzing the handling of consumer complaints for many years, they found that a considerable part of the problems were caused by improper use and maintenance of the floor.
Strengthening floor maintenance is easy to fall into two misunderstandings: first, excessive maintenance, such as waxing, or repeatedly mopping the floor with a wet mop many times a day, is wrong; Second, neglect of maintenance, long-term uncleanness, lack of attention to ventilation, and failure to report for repair in time. If the drum is not repaired for a long time, it will easily lead to warping or even irreparable. In view of this situation, Mr. Yuan Yide, the general manager of Jia Rui, summarized the "three defenses" strategy of floor use and maintenance for consumers according to Jia Rui's years of service experience. He said that as long as you know the basic knowledge of floor use, it is not troublesome to strengthen floor maintenance. Paying attention to relevant details in daily life can bring consumers "long-term stability" of the floor.
Second, the maintenance of solid wood floor
1. Keep the floor dry and clean. Wet water is not allowed to mop the floor, nor is it allowed to scrub with alkaline water or soapy water, so as not to destroy the brightness of the paint and damage the paint film. If there is dust or dirt, please wipe it with a dry mop or a wringing wet mop. Waxing once (or twice) a month (wipe off water vapor and stains before waxing).
2. In case of heating or other water leakage, the floor must be cleaned in time, and direct exposure or electric furnace baking is not allowed to avoid drying too fast and cracking the floor.
The painted floor won't live long, so don't cover it with plastic sheets or newspapers. After a long time, the paint film will become sticky and lose its luster. At the same time, don't put the hot kettle, hot rice cooker and other things directly on the floor, use wooden boards or straw mats to avoid scalding the paint film.
4. Accidentally stained local board surface should be removed in time. If there is oil stain, wipe it with a rag or mop dipped in warm water or a small amount of washing powder, or scrub it with neutral soapy water and a little detergent. If the stain is serious, this method is ineffective. You can gently wipe it with high-quality sandpaper or steel wool. If it is a stain of drugs, drinks or pigments, it must be removed before it penetrates into the wooden surface. The removal method is to wipe with a soft cloth dipped in furniture wax. If it still doesn't work, it must be wiped with steel velvet dipped in furniture wax. If the surface of the floor is burned by cigarette butts, you can wipe it with a soft cloth soaked in furniture wax to restore the light. If the ink is contaminated, it should be wiped with a soft cloth dipped in wax in time. If it fails, you can wipe it with steel velvet dipped in furniture wax.
5. After the painted floor is laid, try to reduce the direct sunlight to avoid the paint from being exposed to too much ultraviolet rays and cracking and aging in advance. Furniture placed on the floor should be padded with rubber or other soft objects to prevent scratching the floor paint.
6. In the process of using the floor, if it is found that individual floors are inclined or fall off, the floor should be picked up in time, and the old glue and ash powder should be shoveled, coated with new glue and compacted; Individual floor paint film is damaged or exposed, which can be polished with 400 # water sandpaper dipped in soapy water and then wiped clean. After drying, the color can be partially supplemented. When the color is dry, you can paint it once. After 24 hours, it can be polished with 400 # water sandpaper and then polished with wax.
Third, the maintenance of composite wood floors
Economical and practical composite wood flooring has become the main choice for people's bedroom floor decoration. Proper use and care can prolong the life of composite wood flooring.
The maintenance method of composite wood flooring is very simple. Usually, you can clean the surface dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom, and then wipe the floor surface with a soaked and wrung rag or mop until it doesn't drip. After mopping the floor, it is best to open the doors and windows, let the air circulate, and dry the floor as soon as possible.
If the wear-resistant layer of the composite wood floor is damaged, it will affect the moisture-proof function and brightness of the floor. Therefore, when walking on the floor, you should try to wear cloth slippers, preferably barefoot. Stick soft bottom pads on the feet of furniture to prevent the feet of furniture from scratching the wear-resistant layer of the floor, and don't let heavy objects break the wear-resistant layer. Do not use sandpaper, sander, steel brush, strong decontamination powder or metal tools to clean the composite wood floor. If you keep a cat at home, you should find a way to solve the damage of the cat's paw.
Here's a tip for cleaning light-colored composite wood floors: dip rice washing water in a rag and wipe it directly on the floor, or spray rice washing water evenly on the wood floor (not too much) and wipe it with a dry rag for 5 minutes, and the floor will be much cleaner.
Cleaning of special stains: oil stains, paints and inks can be wiped with special stain-removing oil; Blood stains, fruit juice, red wine, beer and other residual stains are wiped with a wet rag or a rag dipped with a proper amount of floor cleaner; Wax and chewing gum, put ice cubes on it for a period of time to make it freeze, then scrape it gently, and then wipe it with a wet rag or a rag dipped in a proper amount of floor cleaner. Do not use strong acid and alkali liquid to clean the composite wood floor.
Fourth, strengthen the maintenance of wood floors.
1. Always keep the floor dry and clean, don't rinse it with a lot of water, and pay attention to avoid local long-term soaking of the floor. If there are oil stains and stains on the floor, they should be removed in time. It can be treated with mild and neutral household detergent and warm water, and it is best to use a special floor cleaning and protection liquid that matches the floor. Do not touch the floor surface with corrosive liquids such as alkaline water and soapy water, and do not wipe the floor with flammable substances such as gasoline and other high-temperature liquids.
2. The laminate flooring does not need to be waxed and painted, nor should it be sanded. Because laminate flooring is different from solid wood flooring, it has smooth surface and better brightness, but waxing will gild the lily and make it self-defeating. The wear resistance of laminate flooring is also quite good, and we only need to follow the first step to achieve long-term maintenance.
3. It is suggested to place a foot pad at the door to prevent dust particles from being brought in and damaging the floor; Overweight items should be placed smoothly; Please don't drag the furniture, it's better to lift it.
Please use household cleaner to clean the stains and oil stains on the floor surface, and don't use a lot of water to clean the floor. If there is a stain on the floor surface, it is usually dried with a wet mop that does not drip. If you get chocolate, oil, juice, drinks, etc. Wipe with warm water and neutral detergent. If it is contaminated by lipstick, crayons, ink, etc. , can be gently wiped with methanol or acetone.
5. In the dry area in the north, we should pay attention to increasing the humidity of the floor surface in winter, mop the floor with a damp mop and increase the surface humidity appropriately, which can effectively solve the cracks and cracks in the floor. If there are cracks in individual positions, please inform the sales unit to fill them in time. After filling, properly increase the surface humidity to facilitate the floor repair.
V. Maintenance of Bamboo Floor
First, keep the room dry and humid. Although the size change of bamboo floor is reduced after drying, because bamboo is a natural material, bamboo floor will be deformed with the change of climate dryness and wetness. In the northern region, if there is a dry season, especially when the heating is turned on, consumers can adjust the humidity in different ways, such as using a humidifier or putting a basin of water on the heating. In the rainy season in the south, consumers should open more windows for ventilation and keep the room dry; At the same time, the use of bamboo flooring indoors should try to avoid contact with a lot of water. If water is spilled on the floor, it should be dried and cleaned in time.
Secondly, avoid damaging the floor surface. When painting bamboo floors, hard objects, sharp tool scratches and metal friction should be avoided. In order to prevent dust, sand and other things from being brought indoors, you can put an insole at the door, but you must keep the insole clean. Don't scrape the surface of bamboo board with nails or wear shoes with metal nails to enter the room. Some fiber fabrics can be used to wrap the feet of furniture, which can not only make furniture move more conveniently, but also make furniture not damage the floor.
Finally, the floor should be cleaned correctly. In daily use, when keeping the bamboo floor clean and tidy, you can sweep it with a clean broom and then mop it with a wringing mop. You can also gently wipe the floor with a soft wet cloth at ordinary times. Of course, you can also vacuum the floor like a carpet. According to the use situation, it can be waxed once every few years to keep the film surface smooth and bright. If possible, you can wax the surface of bamboo floor once every two to three months, so the maintenance effect is better.
In addition, it is necessary to open the window frequently to ventilate and adjust the indoor air temperature.
For more details, please go to/consult 1, laminate flooring.
The maintenance of laminate flooring is much simpler than that of solid wood flooring. When cleaning the floor, pay attention to keep the floor dry, do not rinse it with a lot of water, and pay attention to avoid local long-term soaking of the floor. When cleaning stains, use neutral detergent to avoid direct sunlight, rain and moisture.
In addition, paying attention to indoor ventilation and maintaining indoor temperature is also conducive to prolonging the life of the floor. Laminated floors do not need to be painted and waxed. Unlike solid wood floors, it is forbidden to use sandpaper to polish them.
2. Solid wood flooring
Improper installation and use of solid wood flooring will cause quality problems of qualified products. When maintaining the solid wood floor, we should pay attention to the dryness and cleanliness of the floor.
When the solid wood floor is laid, if it is not moistureproof, the bathroom and the room floor are not well isolated, which will affect the life of the floor. Getting wet by water or scrubbing with alkaline water or soapy water will destroy the brightness of the paint surface; If you don't pay attention to drawing curtains in summer, the floor in front of the bed will change color and crack after being exposed to the sun; The air conditioning temperature is too low, which makes the temperature change too much during the day and night, causing the floor to expand or contract too fast, leading to the deformation and cracking of the floor.
In the process of using the floor, if individual floors are found to shell or fall off, the floor should be picked up in time, the old glue and ash powder should be shoveled off, and new glue should be applied for compaction. Waxing once a month is also the best maintenance method, but water vapor and stains should be wiped clean before waxing.
3. Solid wood composite floor
The maintenance of solid wood composite floor is simpler than that of solid wood floor. Keeping the floor dry and clean, without mopping the floor with dripping mop or scrubbing the floor with alkaline water or soapy water can also effectively protect the floor. If the air at home is dry, you can wet the mop or put a basin of water on the heating, or humidify it with a humidifier. Try to avoid sun exposure, so as to avoid the surface paint aging and cracking in advance under long-term ultraviolet radiation.
If the local board surface is contaminated with stains, it should be cleaned up in time. If there is oil, you can use a rag dipped in warm water and a small amount of washing powder to scrub; If it is medicine or pigment, it must be removed before the stain penetrates into the wood surface. Try to avoid prolonged contact with water, especially hot water. Once hot water is spilled on the floor, dry it in time.
It is best to wax once every three months. Before waxing, clean up the stains on the floor surface and wax frequently, which can keep the smoothness of the floor and prolong its service life. Avoid sharp objects scratching the ground, don't put things that are too hot on the floor, and try to avoid dragging furniture.
In summer, the high temperature floor should be "summer", and the floor "killer" should be careful.
In today's home life, what are the "killers" who may damage the wooden floor? Please keep your eyes open and pay attention:
1, water: due to the natural characteristics of wood, it will expand when wet with water;
2. Light: Due to the nature of wood itself, the wood floor cannot be exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet rays for a long time. If necessary, cover it with curtains and other shading objects;
3. Heavy furniture: It is easy to scratch the floor when moving furniture, dining tables, chairs or using chairs with rollers. Handle with care, add cushions to protect furniture, tables and chairs, and prolong the service life of the floor;
4. High-temperature articles: Try to avoid putting heaters or other heating appliances directly on the floor;
5. Insects: Termites will not be produced due to high temperature and high pressure in the production process of floors, but external insects and ants may come in due to the construction environment itself. If this happens, please spray it with pesticides.
6. Corrosive agent: Avoid using various chemicals on the floor. If you accidentally spill it on the floor, please wipe it as soon as possible;
7. Chemicals: If the floor is polluted by solutions such as hair dye and shoe polish, it is difficult to remove it. Avoid using chemical reagents to wipe the floor, or the floor will turn white. If the wet chemical rag is left on the floor for a long time, it will easily cause the floor to change color. For more details, please visit/consult.
