Care For Wood And Stone Halls
Local homes often mix parquet in living rooms with flagstones or a tiled hallway near the door. A lightwell in some entrances means dust gathers in corners after dry days. These surfaces mark if wet tools are used too often, so careful water use keeps lines and joints clean.
Work starts with dry dusting on skirting board edges, then damp mopping with well-wrung cloths. Flags are wiped along joints, then the centre. Wood areas get quick clean-throughs with mild solution, then left to dry with doors open. Mats are lifted and shaken before floors are finished.
Entrances feel clearer and safer to walk on, and scuffs reduce on busy corners. Wood keeps its look without sticky residue. Stone stays free of streaks, so marks from shoes show less. Simple notes suggest small doormats or tray spots where water collects after rain, if helpful for the home.
