Like most engineered wood floors, the Lusso Venice Natural Brushed & Oiled Engineered Oak 240mm is tough, but it isn’t indestructible. It may be more resistant to changes in humidity and temperature than solid wood flooring, but it can still incur damage when exposed to moisture.
Placing entrance mats behind exterior doors will help to capture any dirt, debris, and moisture, making it less likely to be trailed across the floor. You should also give the floor a sweep with a soft-bristled brush, or a vacuum daily to prevent dust and dirt from building up. If you do use a vacuum, stick to the hard floor setting to prevent scratches.
Even with a protective surface coating, the Lusso Venice Natural Brushed & Oiled Engineered Oak 240mm can get scratched. Minimise the risk by keeping pet claws trimmed, and avoiding dragging anything heavy across the floor.
Finally, you should avoid using any cleaning products that contain ammonia as this could lead to damage and discolouration. Stick to dry cleaning methods, such as dry mopping, to minimise the floor’s exposure to moisture. You’ll also want to clean up any spills quickly and thoroughly.
Following these tips will help you to keep the Lusso Venice Natural Brushed & Oiled Engineered Oak 240mm looking and functioning how it should for many years.
