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.
