Is the hardwood floor hard to maintain and clean?

8 years ago

I really love the hardwood floor but I was wondering:
1) How do you maintain it?
2) Is it hard to clean the soap scum and hair from in between the gaps?
Thank you!

Surface maintenance is fairly minimal. The slats are grouped together in smaller numbers so that the can be easily lifted to clean underneath when needed.
