| Wood Maintenance Tips Six tips for maintaining the beauty of the wood in your log home. 1. Sweep only with soft-bristled brooms, and vacuum with a soft floor attachment—both will avoid scratches and dents. 2. Place rugs in entryways to collect dirt and debris that can damage wood. 3. Use a high-quality floorcleaning product (such as Murphy’s Oil Soap) every few months to clean the wood and restore its sheen. 4. Avoid wet-mopping hardwood floors, as standing water can dull or damage the finish. 5. Place glides under furniture legs to avoid scratches. 6. Apply fresh wax once or twice a year if your floor has a wax finish. (To determine this, apply drops of water in an inconspicuous area and look for white spots beneath the water. If there are no white spots, don’t use wax.) More: Information on Log Homes
