First, increase the indoor humidity properly
Many people believe that the winter let outside air in, the temperature drops in the city, the floor from the seam phenomenon naturally weakened. But humidity, not temperature, is the real cause of cracks in the floor. In addition, the higher the air temperature, the more water saturated state, that is to say, the indoor humidity is higher than the outdoor in winter. At this time, the cold air from outside will only make the interior drier. Equipped with an air humidifier is very direct and effective, the humidity of the room is best controlled at about 50%-60%.
Two, regular waxing in winter
Solid wood flooring with its natural texture, high durable performance has gained a lot of consumers love. But geothermal heating users who have used hardwood floors may find cracks in the floor over the course of a winter or summer. To fix the problem, experts say consumers should apply solid wax to floors. Related experts revealed that the interior of the solid wood floor often retains a certain amount of water, in the case of geothermal heating in winter, the floor water loss contraction, between the floor seam will increase. At this point, solid wax on the floor will reduce the expansion of seam.
Three, essential oil treatment
At present, the essential oils used in wood flooring on the market are actually similar to those used in beauty. They are all volatile aromatic substances extracted from flowers, leaves, seeds, bark, roots, etc., but the difference is that they are extracted from different plants. With imported cypress resin and natural tree Fendo refined blend of essential oil, deep moist, prevent cracking, repair subtle cracks and other effects, therefore, this is why some sellers will recommend the use of essential oil for wood floor maintenance to consumers.
Fourth, the process of geothermal opening and closing should be gradual
When using geothermal heating for the first time, pay attention to the slow heating. If the heating is too fast, the floor may crack and distort due to expansion. And the use of geothermal heating, the surface temperature should not exceed 30℃, the room temperature is the most suitable for the human body temperature below 22℃, the service life of the floor can also be guaranteed. When the weather gets warmer and indoor heating is no longer needed, attention should be paid to closing the geothermal system slowly, not plummeting, otherwise it will also affect the service life of the floor.
Five. Avoid contact with large amounts of water and acid and alkaline liquids
Try to avoid wood flooring and a lot of water contact; Avoid wiping with acidic and alkaline liquids to avoid damaging the finish of the floor surface paint.
