Here are three ways to keep your floors looking like new.

INVEST IN DOORMATS

Invest in mats for entryways and remove all outdoor shoes before walking across your hardwood flooring.

FURNITURE FLOOR PADS

Heavy furniture can leave dents in hardwood over time! Use floor protectors on all table and chair legs.

REGULAR SWEEPING

Daily to weekly care and maintenance should include sweeping, vacuuming, or dry mopping your hardwood flooring.

MORE HARDWOOD FLOOR TIPS

Frequently trim your pet’s nails or remove your high heels and heavy boots before walking across the floor.

Since hardwood flooring is also sensitive to the indoor climate of your home, TISH FLOORING recommends using a humidifier during the dry heating season and run a dehumidifier during inclement weather.

Layered looks are in style, so consider adding an area rug on top of your hardwood flooring to protect your flooring while warming up the room!

HARDWOOD STAINS AND SPILLS

Occasional spills and stains are just inevitable, and if you have kids or pets, it can be a daily occurrence! Educating yourself on how to remove common household stains without damaging your flooring is important. 

Most common spills like liquids or pet accidents will wipe away clean, especially on hardwood floors with stain and scuff resistant technology built into the hardwood finished. Make sure you mop up liquid spills immediately, as hardwood flooring is not water resistant!

For other common stains like wax residue or nail polish, consult with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
