Whether you have hardwood, tile, vinyl, or laminate floors, they can all be kept in excellent condition with proper maintenance. Here are some recommendations:
- Avoid excessive water when cleaning
Especially on hardwood and laminate floors.
Use slightly damp cloths and avoid abrasive liquids.
- Use protectors on heavy furniture
The bases of chairs, tables, and sofas can scratch the floor. Place felt or rubber protectors on their legs.
- Clean up spills immediately
Water, grease, and corrosive substances can leave stains or cause warping on sensitive floors.
- Sweep or vacuum frequently
Sand and dust act like sandpaper on the surface.
Keep the area clean to prevent wear and tear.
- Consider annual professional maintenance
A polishing, sealing, or deep cleaning can extend the life of your floor for years.
