Flooring usually refers to a formal floor covering over a subfloor, which can include carpet, hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and tile. Here are some how-to steps to properly care for and maintain the flooring in your home:
- Keep floor as dirt-free as possible by sweeping, dust-mopping, or vacuuming daily. Dirt and debris can scratch hard surface floors and wear down carpet fibers.
- Prevent entry of dirt into your home by equipping doorways with both outdoor and indoor mats. Vacuum mats regularly to keep them working effectively.
- Provide places for muddy shoes to be removed at entryways.
- Take care of spills and stains promptly.
- Use the right kind of cleaning products for your floor type.
