Hardwood
Spill & Stain Removal
Accidental spills are a part of life, and safe stain removal is key to maintaining the integrity of your hardwood floors. Most common spills can be wiped away quickly using a clean, dry cloth, especially on hardwood floors with stain-resistant finish. Because hardwood floors are not waterproof, you should always tend to liquid spills immediately. For spills & stains that don’t wipe away easily, consult your manufacturer’s guidelines for proper care.
