Floor cleaning: Clean floorboards and parquet

Board or parquet floors are made of sensitive wood, which must be cleaned with care.

The boards are less prone to dirt if they

are treated

regularly

with special oils or waxes

.

Ideally, you should use a gentle agent for everyday cleaning.

And the parquet floor is also difficult to clean.

In fact, this type of flooring should be cleaned daily with a dry cloth or broom - and in addition once a week with a wet thorough cleaning.

Mopping utensils made of cotton are best, as these are the least likely to damage the floor.

Further maintenance of the parquet depends on whether the floor is sealed or not.

If the

parquet floor is sealed

, the wood underneath is protected.

This not only makes the parquet easier to clean, but also less prone to dirt.

These tips should be followed for the ideal cleaning of sealed parquet:

Cleaning with lukewarm water is usually sufficient.

In the case of coarser soiling, you can also add a dash of ammonia to the water.

You can use turpentine if the sealed parquet floor shows stains.

But here it is advisable to carry out the cleaning with the window open.

If the

parquet floor is unsealed

, other tips apply.

You should then

not use microfiber cloths

, as these are harmful to the structure of the wood.

In the case of stains,

alcohol

should be

dabbed on the appropriate

area.

After the agent has been able to take effect, it is

removed

with a damp cloth

.

You should wax and polish the parquet floor with hard wax once a month.
