Extend the Life of Your Floors

Proper maintenance will reduce costly restoration.

  • Routine Maintenance
    Dust mop with microfiber mops regularly. For wet-tacking, use a diluted solution of Squeaky™ Concentrate with microfiber mops. Periodically auto scrub with Squeaky Concentrate and use a clean microfiber buffing pad with light head pressure.
  • Interim Maintenance
    When the finish dulls, it may be time to recoat with the TyKote Recoating System. TyKote saves time, labor, and materials by ensuring adhesion of the top coat and reducing floor prep time.
  • Restorative Maintenance
    Over time, traffic and soils take their toll on the finish. When routine and interim maintenance procedures no longer produce the desired results, the floor should be sanded and finished by an experienced professional. Basic Coatings has a full line of wood floor finishes and sealers.

Learn the proper procedures for routine, interim, and restorative maintenance to ensure your wood floor is always in great condition.
