High Heels and Holiday Parties, NO!

  As the holidays approach and parties are in the planning, no doubt some of your female guests will be wearing heels. High heels or spiked heels are damaging to hardwood flooring. They strike the floor with more force per inch than an elephant's foot. High or spiked heels in disrepair are especially harmful, as the heel's nail head acts like a tiny hammer pounding the floor with as much as 10,000 pounds per inch force! Consider yourself warned.

Recent Concrete Overlay Project

We recently completed some work for friends of ours at The Oasis Ministry in downtown St. Louis. This ministry assists new immigrants in the St. Louis Area with all types of assistance. It is a very worthwhile cause, check out their website at www.oasisinternational.info . Check out facebook for a picture of the work.

Possible damage from steam cleaners

We often get asked our opinion of the steam cleaners on the market for wood floors. This article from the Hardwood Floors Magazine earlier this year may clear it up for you.

Regardless, it is not too late to get your flooring needs completed before all of those Holiday guests start arriving.

Cleaning you hardwood floor

We often get asked how to maintain the beauty of a hardwood floor, it's easy. A simple rule of thumb, never use anything on your floor that you wouldn't use on your windows, i.e. no products that contain oil. Daily dust mopping or sweeping or vacuuming without a beater bar. If damp mopping, be sure mop has been rung out to the point of barely being damp. If you wish, a drop or 2 of dawn dish detergent may be added to the mop water. Cleaning prducts may be used as long as they specify that they are for a urethane finished floor, i.e. Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner.
