To keep your hardwood looking its best, first consider preventative maintenance. Use floor protectors with all furniture. Invest in mats and place them throughout your home, particular at your entryways. Encourage visitors to remove their shoes before walking across your flooring. You'll also want to use a humidifier or dehumidifier as needed, as hardwood is sensitive to climate. Never drag heavy objects such as furniture across your flooring! For daily care, sweep and vacuum regularly. You can use a dry mop, but you won't want to use a wet mop, as moisture can cause your hardwood to warp and could void your warranty.

Before establishing a daily care and maintenance routine, consider preventative maintenance. Place welcome mats and area rugs at all entrances to help catch dirt and moisture tracked in on shoes. Be sure to clean those mats regularly! It's not a bad idea to rearrange your furniture every so often to give your carpets a break. And be sure to take care when moving furniture or other heavy objects across your carpet! Next, start incorporating some daily care tips into your cleaning routine. Use a manufacturer-approved vacuum as often as needed, especially in high-traffic areas.

As far as daily care and maintenance is concerned, vinyl flooring is one of the easiest flooring solutions to care for. It is waterproof, durable, and built to withstand all of the activity in a busy household with pets and children alike. However, you'll want to incorporate a simple sweeping and vacuuming routine to keep it clean. You can wet mop your vinyl, too! You can also consider some preventative maintenance, such as removing shoes before walking across your flooring (especially high heels!) and keeping pets' nails trimmed.

Daily care and maintenance is a breeze! To care for your tile, simply sweep, wet mop, dry mop, and vacuum it as needed. Incorporate some preventative maintenance as well by investing in entryway mats and placing them around your home. Additionally, consider placing furniture on floor protectors and take great care when moving it across your flooring. When a spill occurs, simply wipe it away with a clean, dry cloth. Make sure your tile is dry afterwards, as ceramic and porcelain tile can be extremely slippery when wet!
