Maintenance tips
Protect your investment with simple care:

- Clean spills promptly with a damp (not wet) cloth
- Use manufacturer-approved cleaners
- Avoid harsh chemicals and steam mops
We also provide tailored care guides for each flooring type to keep your floors looking their best.
Routine cleaning
Keep your floors looking great with regular upkeep. We recommend dry sweeping or vacuuming daily, and damp mopping weekly with a pH-neutral cleaner designed for your specific flooring type. Consistent care helps preserve the finish and extend the life of your floors.
Moisture protection
Moisture is one of the biggest threats to flooring. Protect your investment by cleaning up spills immediately, using area rugs in moisture-prone areas, and maintaining proper indoor humidity levels. We also offer professional guidance on moisture barriers and waterproof product options.
Pet and furniture precautions
Protect your floors from scratches and dents by keeping pet nails trimmed and using felt pads under furniture legs. Avoid dragging heavy items, and consider rugs or runners in high-traffic areas to reduce wear from paws and furniture movement.
