Maintaining and Caring for Your New Floors
Are you proud owners of brand-new floors installed by Chico Floor & Remodeling? Congratulations! Now, let's make sure you keep them looking pristine for years to come. Proper maintenance is the key to longevity, and we're here to help you with some essential tips.
- Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum your floors regularly to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface. Mop using a manufacturer-approved cleaner for your specific floor type.
- Say No to Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, ammonia, or vinegar, as they can damage the finish of your floors. Opt for gentle, pH-balanced solutions.
- Area Rugs and Mats: Place area rugs and mats in high-traffic areas to protect your floors from scratches and wear. Be sure to use ones with non-slip backings to prevent accidents.
- Furniture Pads: Attach furniture pads to the legs of your chairs, tables, and other heavy furniture to prevent scratches and dents when moving them.
- Wipe Up Spills Promptly: Accidents happen. Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining and potential damage to the floor's surface.
- Trim Pet Nails: If you have furry friends, keep their nails trimmed to prevent scratches on your beautiful floors.
- Shoes Off Indoors: Encourage family and guests to remove their shoes before entering your home. This simple habit can minimize the dirt and debris that enter your living spaces.
- Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect your floors for any signs of damage or wear. Early detection can prevent further issues.
- Manage Humidity: Maintain a stable indoor humidity level to prevent your floors from warping or expanding. Use a dehumidifier or humidifier if necessary.
- Follow Manufacturer's Guidelines: Each floor type has specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer. Familiarize yourself with these guidelines to ensure proper maintenance.
