Floor Care

You must keep off floors for duration of job and especially 24 hours after final coat is applied.
Do not walk on floors, open doors or windows in areas being polished or rooms leading into these areas.
24 hours after final coat has been applied (i.e 4th Day), you may walk on floors, preferably in bare feet or socks and open windows to ventilate fumes. Fumes will disappear within a couple of days.
Please DO NOT drag anything over your polished floors - THEY WILL SCRATCH!
We recommend use of felt under any items that will be moved on a regular basis (i.e table, chairs, bar stools).We suggest super glue to stick felt to objects moved regularly.
Remember pets claws will scratch the floors and the pads of dogs feet are quite abrasive.
DO NOT leave water/fluids sitting on floors - wipe up immediately with paper towels.
It does take 7 -10 days for the polish to cure but can be up to 90 days to fully harden.
High traffic areas will show signs of wear/tear first. We suggest hall runners and/or mats be used in high traffic situations.
Please be advised that rugs/mats/furniture/objects sitting on floors with plenty of daylight coming in will risk leaving an outline of where objects have sat. This is due to the ageing process of the coatings and timber.
CLEANING - we recommend a few tablespoons of white vinegar in a bucket of warm (not hot) water using a damp (not wet) mop to clean floors.
Under no circumstances are steam mops to be used or other cleaning agents/chemicals. These cleaning products can be abrasive and cause rejection problems with coatings.
It is highly recommended that an antistatic mop be used to pick up dust between mopping/vacuuming. Antistatic mops make it easy to look after your floors and are available in your local supermarkets. Sabco make one with interchangeable heads for mopping and dust control.
Under no circumstances should HIGH HEELS be worn on timber floors. Black soled sports shoes can scuff floors.
Only use a polished floors vacuum head when cleaning. Godfrey’s sell them for most vacuum cleaners.

What our clients say about us

Thank you Glyn & Alison from DR Main Floors. So professional, friendly and great communication and amazing results. We went for the Matt Finish and the floor preparation, sand, stain and finish is exceptional. I'm still tip toeing around in socks! Beautiful finish and so happy with the results!

Glyn and Alison sanded and polished the floors in 3 bedrooms and a hallway. They did a terrific job which cannot be faulted. Absolutely no marks on the freshly painted skirting boards as well which shows great care was taken. Highly recommend DR Flooring for a top quality job!

We recently had our floors fully refurbished by D R Main Floors, and have been delighted with the truly amazing result. On returning to our home after the work was completed, the very fine looking timber floors were indeed a welcome sight. Given the condition that the floorboards were in beforehand, the transformation is quite unbelievable. Both Alison and Glyn were extremely knowledgeable and able to provide sound advice. We are most appreciative of the wonderful work done, and the overall effect has been to lift the whole appearance of the house interior.

We just had our decks sanded and oiled by D R Main Floors, Glyn did a fantastic job, we are very happy with the result. We have acquired several quotes and chose to go with D R Main Floors because Alison was knowledgeable and gave sound advice, and their quote is reasonable. We highly recommend D R Main Floors for any sanding and oiling floor work.

I'm not normally one to leave reviews but we had such a positive experience using D R Main that I'm happily writing one now. From the get go Alison and Glyn were helpful, informed and reliable. We had a slightly unusual situation because I was pregnant at the time of our floor polishing and so safety and speed were of high priority to us. Alison and Glyn delivered on safety and speed without compromising on quality. They really did their very best for us and the final look of the floors exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the results.

I recently had my floors sanded and stained by DRM floors. They were recommended to me and I am happy to recommend them to anyone. Apart from prompt service and a great job, I somehow managed to pay the deposit twice. Received a call about a month later advising of my error and deposit promptly returned. Honest as well!!!!

Alison and Glyn are such friendly people and really know their stuff. Our floors look amazing. Great results, great people, professional and great price. Can't recommend DR Main Floors enough.
