Once your hardwood floors have been refinished, there are many things you can do to maintain your floors so that they last.
Place felt pads on the bottom of all of your furniture that moves to prevent scuffing and scratching
Use throw rugs both inside and outside doorways to help prevent dirt from being tracked onto your floors and scratching them
Avoid walking on wood floor with cleats, sports shoes and high heels to prevent denting
Pick up furniture completely when moving it - DO NOT slide furniture on wood flooring
Keep your pets' nails trimmed
If you have wood flooring in your kitchen, put an area rug in front of the sink
Use mostly a dry swifter or vacuum
Clean your floors occasionally with a white vinegar and water mixture and a damp sponge mop
Dry/buff your floors with a towel - do not let water set on the wood
Wipe up spills immediately with slightly damp cloth
Have your floors screened and recoated by a professional every seven to ten years
DO NOT use wax or any wax products on your hardwood floors!
