If you have genuine hardwood floors in your home, you might be wondering, is it really safe to vacuum them?
The short answer is yes—but with a few important considerations.
The N-Hance pro’s for hardwood floor refinishing in Westminster have a few tips. Check them out below.
Best Practices For Vacuuming Wood Flooring
Some people prefer to sweep hardwood floors. This is definitely a good option—particularly for getting rid of large, visible debris.
With that said, vacuuming is still necessary to remove deep dirt, dust, and particles that settle between the floorboards.
Vacuuming penetrates deeper to remove grime that sweeping might not be able to reach or might not be powerful enough to extract. Vacuums do an excellent job at suctioning and removing even the smallest particles.
A good vacuum also removes allergens like dust mites, pollen, and dander. Sweeping tends to kick these up into the air, while vacuuming can get rid of them for good.
Another important consideration is how vacuuming saves time due to its efficiency and ability to cover a larger area in less time.
It’s clear that vacuuming is the superior choice for cleaning hardwood floors, but is it safe? Or will it scratch, dull, or otherwise compromise hardwood surfaces?
It comes down to using a good vacuum on the right settings. Look for a model that allows you to switch off the spinning brush or that has a special cleaner head with soft bristles made for use on hardwood floors.
Many vacuum models have a “hard floor” setting that makes this as easy as the press of a button.
