11 Fatal flaws in your wood floor maintenance strategy

1. We wash it every day

2. I use the same polish as i use on vinyl floors

3. We ran out of the proper stuff years ago and didn’t know where to get it from

4. It gets a coat of bourne seal every year, wether it needs it or not

5. The line markings get repaired with coloured vinyl tape – but it keeps coming off

6. The dust mops broken – we really should get another one

7. Yes we have a buffing machine but the pads are too expensive

8. We don’t have the time to get the floor properly cleaned and de-greased

9. The scratches were caused when we dragged the equipment across the floor

10. It doesn’t matter, we can always re-sand it

11. The cleaners didn’t have any instructions.
