Care & Maintenance
Keeping your floors looking their best doesn’t need to be hard. With a few simple steps, you can extend the life and beauty of your flooring.
📝General Tips for All Flooring
• Clean spills promptly to prevent stains or moisture damage.
• Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris that can cause scratches or wear.
• Use mats at entryways to reduce tracked-in dirt and moisture.
• Lift, don’t drag furniture to avoid scratching or tearing the floor surface.
• Use felt pads under furniture legs to protect the floor from scuffs and dents.
• Avoid harsh cleaners – always use pH-neutral products recommended for your flooring type.
🗒️ Carpet Care
• Vacuum weekly, or more often in high-traffic areas.
• Treat spills immediately with a clean cloth – blot, don’t rub.
• Schedule professional cleaning every 12–18 months to deep clean and refresh.
• Rotate rugs or furniture to reduce uneven wear in specific areas.
🌲 Vinyl & Hybrid Flooring Care
• Sweep or vacuum regularly to prevent grit from scratching the surface.
• Damp mop with warm water and a mild vinyl-safe cleaner.
• Avoid soaking the floor – too much water can damage edges and joins.
• Avoid steam mops as the high heat may damage the flooring.
💠 Laminate Flooring Care
• Dry sweep or vacuum with a soft brush head to remove debris.
• Use a lightly damp mop for regular cleaning.
• Never wet mop or steam clean – excess moisture can cause swelling or warping.
• Clean up spills immediately to avoid long-term damage.
⚠️ Avoid These Common Mistakes
• Don’t use abrasive tools or cleaners.
• Don’t apply wax, polish, or oil-based products unless specifically recommended.
• Don’t let pet accidents sit too long – clean them up right away.
