1. Clean Regularly
Dust, dirt, and debris act like sandpaper, scratching and dulling your floors over time. Vacuum or sweep frequently, and mop with a cleaner suitable for your flooring type. Avoid soaking the floor — especially with wood or laminate — as excess water can cause warping.

2. Use Rugs and Mats
Place mats at entrances to trap dirt before it spreads. Area rugs in high-traffic zones not only protect your floor but also add warmth and style.

3. Protect Against Scratches
Use felt pads under furniture legs and lift — don’t drag — heavy objects. For hardwood floors, consider using protective glides and maintaining a “no-shoes” rule indoors.

4. Control Humidity
Wood floors expand and contract with humidity changes. Keep indoor humidity between 40–60% to prevent cracking or swelling.

5. Treat Spills Immediately
Accidents happen — but quick action prevents long-term damage. Blot spills right away and avoid harsh chemicals that can stain or discolor surfaces.

6. Schedule Professional Maintenance
Even with regular care, floors sometimes need deep cleaning or refinishing. A professional handyman can restore shine, repair scratches, or replace damaged sections.

Well-maintained floors don’t just look great — they add value to your home and make your space feel inviting and cared for.
