Keep steps from sand

• Steps off wood are usually sealed with varnish or hard wax oil. Both protect the wood optimally and make it resistant.
• Nevertheless, you should protect the stairs from contamination by dirt and sand. Because the sand in particular can rub off and scratch the wood - protective layer or not.
• Therefore, make sure you have a doormat in the entrance area so that coarse dirt does not even get into the apartment or onto the stairs.
• However, this does not make cleaning superfluous. It is best to clean wooden steps with a dry cloth vacuum cleaner, Duster, broom or mop.

Remove water and scratches in the wood immediately
