Looking after your floor
Aftercare products and guidance
The right routine helps protect the finish long after restoration. Cleaning products should always suit the particular floor and finish, so check what was used before choosing a replacement.
Find the right product for your floor
The existing Hemmings-branded online shop lists maintenance products for wood flooring and natural stone or tiles. Product availability and ordering are handled by that separate shop, rather than this website.

Not sure what was used on your floor?
Tell the team whether the surface is wood, parquet, stone or tile, and whether it has an oil, lacquer, polish or sealer finish. Where possible, refer to the care instructions supplied after restoration.
A few useful care principles
Wood and parquet
Remove grit regularly and use the cleaner recommended for the installed oil or lacquer. Avoid soaking joints and assume neither finish is maintenance-free.
Natural stone
Use products suitable for the stone and its treatment. Acidic cleaners and descalers can etch limestone, marble and travertine.
Tiles and grout
Choose a cleaner that suits the surface, including whether it is glazed or unglazed. Avoid leaving concentrated detergent or residue in the joints.
