Blog Expert Tips for Maintaining Your New Floors, Brought to You by Christian's Custom Floors Apr 18, 2024

Congratulations on your new floors from Christian's Custom Floors! Now that you have invested in high-quality flooring, it is important to take care of it properly to ensure its longevity and beauty. To help you maintain your new floors, here are some expert tips brought to you by Christian's Custom Floors.

1. Regular Cleaning: One of the most important things you can do to maintain your new floors is to keep them clean. Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface. For hardwood floors, use a microfiber mop or damp cloth to gently clean up spills and stains. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.

2. Use Area Rugs: Placing area rugs in high-traffic areas such as entryways and hallways can help protect your floors from wear and tear. Rugs can also add a pop of color and style to your space while providing a cushioned surface for your feet. Be sure to use rug pads underneath to prevent slipping and sliding.

3. Protect Your Floors: Take precautions to prevent damage to your floors by using furniture pads under heavy pieces of furniture to prevent scratches. Avoid wearing high heels or shoes with spikes that can dent the surface of hardwood floors. Place mats at the entrance of your home to capture dirt and moisture from shoes before it reaches your floors.

4. Monitor Humidity Levels: Fluctuations in humidity can cause hardwood floors to expand and contract, leading to gaps and buckling. Use a humidifier in the winter and a dehumidifier in the summer to maintain consistent humidity levels in your home. Consider using a hygrometer to monitor the humidity levels and make adjustments as needed.
