Caring for your Hardwood and Hardwood Laminate is easier than you think!

Just Vacuum and you are done! 

Finished hardwood and hardwood laminate are the among the
simplest types of flooring to care for. In most cases just a
quick sweep and you are done. The occasional wipe with a damp
cloth or mop will renew the luster of new wood. You can use a
vacuum only if you can disengage the "beater bar" or it does not
have one. You could damage your floor by running the beater bar
on the hardwood. A Vacuum will cut the time in half. 

My wife was vacuuming our master the other day, and was blown
away at the amount of dust that had collected. I told her "guess
what would be in the carpet, if we had decided to put it in
here." Her reaction of disgust was enough for me for the labor
of putting the hardwood in.  

A neat idea that I heard and was skeptical when I heard, but it
really works. If you have a squeaky spot in your hardwood.
Sprinkle some talcum (baby) powder in the cracks and work it in
as much as possible. Sweep up the excess (do not vacuum) and use
as normal. The talcum powder will work in the cracks and the
squeaks will stop. It is truly amazing. Just give it a try. it
is very cheap and will do nothing but help.
