Find answers to the most common questions about hardwood & laminate flooring.
Avoid waxing—use a laminate-specific cleaner or microfiber mop to restore shine without residue.
Apply walnut meat or a wax stick for minor scratches. For deeper gouges, use wood filler + touch-up stain.
For engineered hardwood, use urethane-based wood flooring adhesive. For solid hardwood, nail-down installation is preferred.
Damp mop (not soaked!) with pH-neutral cleaner (e.g., Bona). Avoid vinegar (can damage finishes).
