Stone Care Tips
Don't wait to clean up spills on stone, clean them up as quickly as possible
Don't use vinegar, bleach, ammonia or other general purpose cleaners on stone.
Don't use alkaline cleaners not specifically formulated for stone
Do use a quality sealer to protect your stone, tile, and grout
Do place a rug or mat at entryways to trap dirt and sand from normal foot traffic
Do sweep or vacuum floors frequently
Do clean stone surfaces regularly with a pH-neutral cleaner.
Maintaining a Wood Surface Finish
Surface finishes are very popular today because they are durable, water-resistant and require minimal maintenance. Surface finishes are blends of synthetic resins. These finishes are most often referred to as urethanes or polyurethanes, and remain on the surface of the wood to form a protective coating. They are generally available in high-gloss, semi-gloss and satin.
Dust mop, sweep or vacuum regularly. Clean with a manufacturer's recommended no wax cleaner. Recoat the floor after sanding or buffing with a surface finish when cleaning no longer restores shine. The frequency of recoating depends on the amount of traffic. A surface finished floor should never be waxed.

Wood Floor Care Tips
Regularly sweep or vacuum the floor to prevent sand or abrasive dust from accumulating and scratching the finish.
Place doormats outside and rugs inside at every entrance of the house, again to prevent sand or abrasive dust from accumulating on the floor.
Place a rug in front of the kitchen sink, kitchen working stations, and the dishwasher to protect the floor from dropped kitchen accessories and from water or oily detergent spills.
Use adequate floor protection (wood floor protector pads) under all furniture and chairs legs, in order to ease their movements and to prevent scratching the floor.
The relative humidity level in your home or office must be maintained at 45% (i.e. 40-50%) throughout the year. Hardwood is a living substance which reacts to changes of relative humidity. It absorbs or releases humidity according to seasons. Consequently, its dimension changes. In summer, when humidity is at its highest, it is absorbed by the wood which then expands. These variations can be minimized with proper ventilation, dehumidifying or heating. In winter, on the other hand, when the heating system is on, the relative humidity level in the house is much lower. It is then recommended to use a humidifier, in order to minimize extreme shrinkage effects
Keep "high heel" shoes in good condition. Damaged or worn high heels may expose a metal tip which will certainly damage your hardwood floor.
Protect your floor against direct sunlight or any intense source of artificial lighting. Over time, intense light will discolor exposed surfaces. This phenomenon with wood surfaces is normal and natural. The lighter the color of the natural wood, the more apparent this phenomenon will be.
