We Use Glista Clean Wood Floor Cleaner Products to Care for Your Hardwood Floors

A minimum of 24 hours is recommended before returning to the residence. Providing good ventilation will minimize the odor and help the floor finish cure faster. You can generally walk on the floor after 24 hours. However, you should use your floors carefully for the first two weeks after application. The gentler you are on the floor during this time, the more satisfaction you will get from your floors for years to come. For furniture, allow two to three days before placing furniture on the floor. Do not drag or slide the furniture into place. We will provide you with Glista products and instructions once our project is complete so you can continue to care for your floors and keep them lasting for years! 

Preventive Maintenance 

• Place walk-off mats in entryways and near sink areas to minimize the amount of dirt and water that comes into contact with your floor.
• Check your chair legs and other pieces of furniture and attach EZ Glide Furniture Pads, made of dense Berber carpet, to all furniture that will come in contact with your wood floor.
• Keep high-heeled shoes in good repair. Heels that have lost their protective cap can cause tiny indentations in any floor surface, even concrete!
• Keep pet claws trimmed.
• Do not overwater plants. Soil, fertilizers, and plant foods may contain chemicals that could damage your Glitsa finish. Water is among the greatest causes of damage to wood and finishes.
• Soft rubber (shoe soles, toy wheels, etc.) will leave marks on the floor. Most of these marks can be rubbed out but should be avoided.
• Wood Floor Maintenance
• Simple steps can be taken to maintain the beauty and luster of your new Glitsa finished floors. 
• Vacuum: It is best to vacuum the grit off your floors. This prevents scratching from sandy grit tracked in on shoes.
• Dust Mop: Regularly use an untreated mop with Dust Pad on your floor. This will keep the sand and grit off of your floor, which may cause premature wear. Throw rugs cleaned regularly are recommended in front of your kitchen sink and at each outside door. 
• Cleaning: Wipe up food and other spills immediately using a dampened (not soaking wet) cloth, a well-rung-out mop, or a paper towel. Regular cleaning should be done with Glitsa Clean™, specially formulated to clean your Glitsa finished floor. Follow the directions on the bottle for the correct application. Glitsa Clean™ is available through your flooring contractor. 
• No Waxing: Glitsa-finished floors should never be waxed. Do not use oils, waxes, or cleaners with these properties on your Glitsa finish. If wax or other treatments are applied, recoating may not be possible. 
• Recoat: As your floor begins to show wear and does not clean easily with Glitsa Clean™, recoating is recommended. Glitsa Aerosol is available for minor repairs or touch-ups for the Gold Seal System. Contact your hardwood flooring professional when recoating becomes necessary.
