Hardwood floor inlay is the one touch that is going to make your room a showplace but if you have it you also need to have the knowledge needed to keep it looking its best. You can't just throw down any old cleaner and expect it to work on your inlay, no, you are going to need to know some good tricks that will allow you to get the dirt and stains out without damaging your good wood.

Here are some great tips that will help you to deal with messes that find themselves on your hardwood floor inlay:

Cigarette burns

These tend to pop up now and then, especially after you have just had a party. If you find one of these burns on your inlay you need to get out the trusty old steel wool and get to work. You can buff the burn out with ease as long as it is not a deep one. You may want to get the steel wool wet before you start with the buffing though. A little warm water and soap will go a long way towards helping you get the mark out.

Ink stains

These are one of the most upsetting stains and the only way you are going to get rid of them is to sand them off. You can use No.2 steel wool or good sandpaper for this. When the stain is almost gone switch to a finer sandpaper. There is a good chance that you are going to have to refinish this area of the floor. If the ink goes way down into the wood itself you may even need to replace that section of inlay.

Wine stains

These stains can be treated much the same as ink stains. They are a little less likely to go so deep so you will probably be able to avoid replacement if you get it fast enough.

Taking care of your stains before they have a chance to set into your hardwood floor inlay is going to have a huge impact on the kind of damage that you are looking at. If you can get at them immediately and not let any water or liquid pool on your floor then you are going to be way ahead of the game.
