2
Vacuum your floor every week
You probably do this already, but it always bears
repeating. The reason underfoot, the fine grit
in dust is just like sandpaper and will slowly
but surely wear through your wood floors finish.
So a good vacuuming protects the finish as well
as keeps up its appearance. 
3
 Watch the hairspray and the furniture polish
Both of them can cloud your floors finish. Wipe
them up immediately with a damp cloth. For a more
thorough cleanup, spray with non-ammonia window
cleaner.
4
Keep out the rain
Water can not only ruin the finish on a hardwood
floor but can penetrate deep into the wood and
stain it. Close windows when youre expecting
rain. 
5
Remove residue with no-wax wood floor cleaner
Keep it in the hall closet or another convenient
location so that you can get to it quickly to
clean up small problems before they become big
ones. 
6
Use an extra-long walk-off doormat
Get a 4- to 6-foot-long walk-off mat for the
front door. The longer the mat leading up to the
door, the more people will rub dirt and moisture
off their shoes as they walk in, even if they
dont stop to wipe them.
7
Protect high-traffic zones with area rugs
Walking across an area several times a day
eventually wears down a wood floors finish.
Nice-looking throw rugs are the easiest way to
reduce the wear.
