GET INTO GOOD HABITS from the Beginning
As the old expression goes"prevention is better than the cure" and this is certainly true for hardwood floors as well as the warmer months is no exception. Taking the ideal preventative methods from the beginning will help keep your floors for longer, whether you have beautiful Walnut Wood Flooring or even a mild birch.
With this in mind, constantly avoid walking on wood floors with ruined heels or spiked shoes. Furthermore in summer, with more time spent outdoors there's an increased quantity of dust, sand and dirt coming into your home that can scratch the surface of wood flooring, therefore remove shoes and place rugs in heavy footfall areas to collect the dust.
This might have you itching to wet mop the floor, but that isn't mandatory and certainly you shouldn't use harsh cleansers, in particular those that contain citrus and tung oil instead use a micro-fibre brush or vacuum to remove the particles.
Additionally, if have any spills or accidents on your hardwood flooring, ensure they're wiped immediately to prevent extra moisture seeping into the timber or staining.
If you are families with pets, it is a fantastic idea to keep pets nails trimmed to prevent scratching the surface of the wood too.
