Maintaining your cork flooring

Home builders started using cork flooring in their home plans during the 60's and 70's. Cork floors became less popular over time due to the lack of necessary cleaning materials, which led to a problem with the floors fading.



Most home owners with wood flooring are not familiar with the recommended initial maintenance for cork flooring. Unless you have used a more common maintenance solution such as scotchguard for your fabric furniture materials. When a professional in the flooring industry mentions initial maintenance, he's typically talking about all wood flooring and or laminate flooring material.



Once you have selected a cork flooring dealer, made your purchase and had the new flooring installed, you should seriously consider initial maintenance. Your new cork flooring will have a shiny finish and a protective coating to prevent damange once you apply the protectant and sealant after the factory dirt and grime has been removed.



If you would like to restore the cork flooring already present in your home, you should follow a couple steps for restoring and scrubbing. You should be able to maintain them with buffing and Revitalizer restoration cleaner. With a little time and elbow grease your old cork flooring will look again. You shouldn't have to forget how great the cork floors looked when they were restore or installed
