Essential Care & Maintenance Tips for Hardwood Stairs & Glass Railings

Investing in custom wood staircases and modern glass railings transforms your home's interior. Protect your investment with these expert maintenance tips from Norfolk's stair craftsmen.

Hardwood Stair Tread Care

  • Sweep or microfiber vacuum regularly: Grit and winter salt tracked in from boots act like sandpaper on clear poly coats.
  • Use pH-neutral wood floor cleaners: Avoid harsh ammonia or bleach solutions that strip wood sealants.
  • Protect nosings: Place entry mats near main doors to catch grit before feet step onto stair nosings.

Glass Panel Railing Care

Wipe tempered glass panels with a soft microfiber cloth and ammonia-free glass cleaner or diluted vinegar to remove smudges and finger prints effortlessly.
