Minnesota winters present unique challenges for hardwood floors in Plymouth homes, but proper maintenance ensures lasting beauty and performance. Here’s our expert guidance:
Humidity Management: Maintain indoor humidity between 30-50% using humidifiers during heating season. Minnesota’s dry winter air can cause hardwood to shrink and crack. Most Plymouth homes require supplemental humidity when outdoor temperatures drop below 20°F.
Salt and Snow Protection: Place quality doormats both inside and outside entries to capture road salt and moisture. Clean spills immediately and avoid tracking snow onto hardwood surfaces. Consider runner rugs in high-traffic areas during winter months.
Temperature Consistency: Avoid dramatic temperature fluctuations that cause wood expansion and contraction. Gradually adjust thermostats and ensure consistent heating throughout your Plymouth home.
Regular Cleaning: Use hardwood-specific cleaners and microfiber mops. Avoid excessive water, which can damage wood and finishes. Weekly dust-mopping and monthly deep cleaning maintain appearance and longevity.
Professional Maintenance: Annual inspections identify minor issues before they become costly problems. Our maintenance services include recoating when necessary and addressing seasonal adjustments common in Minnesota installations.
Following these guidelines helps Plymouth homeowners protect their hardwood investment through countless Minnesota winters.
