During the holidays, the number of visitors coming and going increases and so does the level of impact on hardwood flooring. As a major provider of flooring and installation in Lafayette, LA, Hollier’s Flooring America wants to share the following tips on protective measures for maintaining gorgeous hardwood floors.
One of the easiest ways to safeguard hardwood floors is putting synthetic area rugs at all entrances. These specific types of rugs are made of a breathable material that reduces moisture and dirt brought inside, especially on days when the weather is bad. They also shield against scratches and marks. Please keep in mind not to pick a carpet, area rug, or mat with foam or rubber backing. Either kind of backing has the ability to trap moisture and discolor hardwood flooring.
Christmas trees add significant weight to floors, usually for several weeks. Hollier’s Flooring America highly recommends placing extra padding underneath a Christmas tree stand sitting on hardwood flooring. A tree skirt not only hides the padding, but also makes this room even more festive. It helps protect floors from warping due to water and moisture, as well. For those who want another layer of protection, they suggest using a plastic sheet and mat.
Clean up unavoidable spills and dirt buildup as quickly as possible without using water or soaps containing oil, which can leave behind a film and damage the finish. Also, water in excessive amounts can potentially dull hardwood floors, so immediate action is always warranted. Once the busy holiday season is over, cleaning on a regular basis keeps floors in the best condition.
