What to do after the wooden floor is soaked in water
1. Soak the solid wood floor in water: “ well” stacked with shade dryness
Solid wood floor is the most delicate among many floors, because it is made of natural wood, which preserves the natural properties of the wood: it is easy to absorb water and deform.
FAQ: Soaking in water can easily cause mold. Because solid wood flooring is made of pure solid wood, it has the natural properties of wood and is prone to deformation and mold when exposed to water.
Solution:
1. Hairdryer processing. After the solid wood floor is soaked in water, the water on the surface should be wiped dry as soon as possible. You can also aim the vacuum cleaner at the splicing gap of the immersed floor to absorb water vapor. Or use a hair dryer to blow cold air against the splicing seam until it is dried, but do not use hot air to prevent the surface from being dry and deformed due to heat and drying.
2. Stack the tic toe and dry in the shade. If the area of soaking in water is relatively large, and the water is relatively serious. After the surface layer is processed, you can carefully pry the floor up, wipe it dry with a water absorbent cloth, and place it in a font shape with "well" and raise the space below to allow the floor to fully contact the space to dry.
2. Laminated flooring soaks in water: natural evaporation is the most convenient for laminated wood flooring. Laminated wood flooring is the most commonly used flooring material in home furnishings. Because it is easy to care, surface wear-resistant, not easy to deform after laying, good impact resistance and flame retardant properties, etc., it is very popular among consumers.
Frequently asked questions: If you accidentally sprinkle water on the floor, the most common problem of soaking water is to pour a small cup of water on the floor. Many people did not deal with it immediately. Over time, the floor was raised, moldy, and other situations only found out that it was too late.
Solution:
1. Remove the furniture. After soaking in water, the floor should immediately remove the furniture and items piled up on it, try not to press it, and quickly drain the water on the surface of the floor, remove the skirting line at the edge of the floor as soon as possible, expose the expansion joints of the floor, and distribute the water vapor with the expansion joints. Never pry the floor up and dry it.
2. The floor is naturally air-dried. Depending on the degree of water inlet, it usually takes about seven to fifteen days to complete drying. For floors with good quality or short soaking time, they can recover by themselves. If they find that the lifting or flatness cannot be restored after fifteen days, they should consider replacing them.
3. Contact after-sales service for large areas of water. If there is a large area of soaking water, you should contact the floor after-sales service office in time to deal with it. You can ask the merchant to come to the door for post-processing, and do not deal with it yourself.
3. Soaking in water on laminate floors: a two-pronged approach is the best
Laminate flooring is also one of the commonly used flooring materials in modern homes. Laminate flooring has the stability of laminate flooring and can retain the natural feeling of solid wood flooring on the floor surface. Although laminate flooring is relatively durable, it will also leave problems after soaking in water.
FAQ: Soaked floors and raised. Although the material of laminate flooring is relatively durable, in the face of water soaking, the floor still has small problems such as lifting and mold.
Solution:
1. A small-area vacuum cleaner absorbs water. If it is a small area of water and the amount of water is not large, then dry the surface water as soon as possible and use a vacuum cleaner or hair dryer to cool the air to suck the water immersed in the gap between the floors dry.
2. Use tic toe stacking on a large scale. If you are immersed in a large area, you should remove the surrounding skirting line as soon as possible, and pry up the soaked floor. Also use bricks or other things to raise the air, and stack the floor with the word "well" and dry the shade.
In daily life, many people lack knowledge about floor maintenance knowledge. When they encounter some floor soaking in water, they are panicked and do not know how to start. In the end, the floor needs to be repaved and caused waste. Therefore, emergency treatment when flooring is soaked in water is very important.
