As a craftsman, it is important to advise your customers on the proper maintenance of their parquet floors to prolong their lifespan. Here are the essential recommendations to pass on to your customers:

1. Regular cleaning
   • Recommend daily dusting with a soft-bristled broom or a vacuum cleaner suitable for the type of covering.
   • Recommend weekly cleaning with a slightly damp floor cloth and a product specific to the type of floor.
2. Choice of cleaning products
   • Emphasise the importance of using products suitable for the specific covering (varnished or oiled parquet, resin floor, etc.).
   • Advise against the use of aggressive or abrasive products that could damage the surface.
3. Prevention of damage
   • Suggest the use of pads under furniture legs to prevent scratching.
   • Recommend the installation of entrance mats to reduce the amount of dirt and moisture brought in.
4. Stain treatment
   • Advise prompt action in the event of a spill to prevent permanent staining.
   • Provide specific instructions for the treatment of different types of stains depending on the type of surface.
5. Specific maintenance according to the type of covering
   • For waxed parquet: recommend waxing once a month.
   • For oiled parquet: recommend oiling every six months.
   • For resin floors: emphasise the importance of cleaning with non-aggressive products and correct dosage.
6. Protection against the elements
   • Suggest the use of curtains or blinds to protect floors from direct UV rays, particularly parquet.
   • Advise them to maintain a stable level of humidity in the room to prevent warping of the wood.
7. Periodic professional maintenance
   • Recommend annual or biannual professional maintenance for a thorough renovation of the covering.
   • Explain the advantages of sanding and refinishing parquet flooring every 8 to 10 years.
8. Adaptation to high-traffic areas
   • Offer additional protective solutions for high-traffic areas, such as carpets in corridors.

By passing on this advice to your customers, you will help them preserve the quality and appearance of their floor coverings, while strengthening your position as an expert and the relationship of trust with your customers.
