Protecting your staircase
If you own a beautiful cedar staircase, here’s how to make sure it will last for many years.
● Protect the Surface: Consider laying a runner rug down the length of the staircase to protect the wood from scuff marks, especially on the vertical rises where people often bump their feet.
● Be Mindful: Consider removing your shoes while using the stairs, and be especially careful when carrying liquids.
● Spot Treat: Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and warping, but don’t put it to the test. Clean up and dry spills right away.
● Protect: Don’t let raw, unfinished cedar go to waste. Protect it with a water or oil-based polyurethane finish. Contact a hardwood care professional for regular refinishing.
● Clean Appropriately: Clean your stairs regularly with a nice hardwood polish, but don’t overdo it. Don’t leave your stairs wet or slippery. Use a soft microfiber cloth or broom on dust.
● Repair: If flaws like scratches, stains, or dents appear, or if you’re unhappy with the appearance of the wood, call Vintage Flooring Company.
