What do you need to do to protect your new hardwood flooring?

Dirt and dust can scratch and corrode your wood floor, so keeping the floor clean is a must. If spills occur, clean them immediately rather than letting them sit. Absorb any wet spills as soon as possible, as water can cause warping, splitting and rot. Finally, sunlight exposure can change a floor's coloring, so having UV blocking Windows or window coverings and rugs will also help protect your floors.
