Care & Maintenance Tips

A little care goes a long way. Follow these basics to keep your floors looking their best for years.

Regular Cleaning

Sweep or vacuum regularly. Damp mop hard floors — never soak.

Felt pads under furniture legs prevent scratches on hard floors.

Mind the Moisture

Wipe up spills quickly. Use mats at doorways.

Follow Manufacturer Guidance

Each floor has specific care instructions. When in doubt, ask us.
