Hydrogen Peroxide and Wood Floors Damage
On the Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide on Wood Flooring
There are many ways to clean and maintain wood floors in the world. In the meantime, whether hydrogen peroxide damages wood floors is a common thought.
Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing chemical. Wood floors are mostly made of wood fibers, and their surfaces may be protected by lacquer.
If hydrogen peroxide is used on wood floors, it can remove some stains at first or due to strong oxidation, but it will be harmful for a long time. Its oxidizing properties can break the wood fiber structure and cause the wood fibers to become brittle. And if the surface lacquer of wood floors is not good, hydrogen peroxide is easy to seep in, damage the wood, and make the floor darken and the texture gradually lose clarity.
Furthermore, wooden floors are prone to swelling when damp, drying and cracking. When hydrogen peroxide acts on wooden floors, or due to chemical reactions, heat is generated, accelerating water loss, making the floor more prone to cracking. And its residue, or subsequent corrosion, shortens the life of the floor.
In summary, the use of hydrogen peroxide for wooden floors, although initial or effective, but long-term view, more harm and less benefit, use it with caution. To protect wooden floors in good condition for a long time, when seeking suitable cleaning and maintenance methods, do not use this strong oxidizing material lightly, so as to ensure that the floor is both beautiful and durable.
