While timber flooring is essentially easier to maintain than carpets, you still need to ensure you vacuum or sweep them regularly followed by giving your floors a good mop. When mopping, make sure you use a well wrung mop in warm water.
For even better results, try adding a capful of Premium Cork & Timber Cleaner (available at your nearest Carpet Choice store) to the water.
