There are a few preventative things that anyone can do to prolong the lifespan and finish of their floors. Try these tips that cover the most common types of flooring:

Hardwood Flooring:

-We suggest you dust your floors daily. 

-If you use a vacuum to clean your hardwood floors you must be sure to use a soft brush attachment to prevent scratches or scrapes. 

-You should never use a wet mop, a cleaner that contains ammonia, or any other cleaner that was not specifically made to be used on hardwood floors– doing any of these things can severely damage the floor’s finish

-Use protector pads under the legs of your furniture, this avoids scratches and dings in your hardwood flooring

-Spills will occur, and it’s very important to clean them up immediately

-The use of curtains or other window coverings will keep direct sunlight from causing your hardwood floors to fade
