Franz Flooring's Top Tips for Maintaining Your New Floors for Years to Come

Congratulations on your new floors from Franz Flooring! We understand that installing new flooring is an investment in your home, and we want to help you preserve and maintain that investment for years to come. Here are Franz Flooring's top tips for maintaining your new floors:

1. Regular Cleaning: One of the simplest ways to maintain your new floors is by keeping them clean. Regular sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping can prevent dirt, dust, and debris from accumulating on the surface of your floors. Be sure to use a soft bristle broom or vacuum attachment to avoid scratching the surface of your floors.

2. Avoid Water Damage: Water can be a major threat to many types of flooring, including hardwood, laminate, and vinyl. To prevent water damage, make sure to clean up spills immediately and avoid using excessive water when mopping. Place waterproof mats at entryways and in high-traffic areas to trap moisture before it reaches your floors.

3. Use Furniture Pads: To prevent scratches and dents on your floors, consider using furniture pads on the legs of chairs, tables, and other heavy furniture. These pads will help distribute the weight of the furniture and prevent it from causing damage to your floors.

4. Trim Pet Nails: If you have pets, be sure to keep their nails trimmed to prevent scratching on your new floors. Consider placing a rug or mat in areas where your pets spend a lot of time to protect the floor from their nails.

5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: When cleaning your floors, avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the finish or surface of your floors. Instead, opt for gentle cleaners recommended by the manufacturer or consult with us for our expert advice on the best cleaning products for your specific flooring.

6. Protect Floors from Sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause discoloration and fading on many types of flooring. Consider using curtains or blinds to protect your floors from UV rays, especially in rooms with large windows or glass doors.

7. Schedule Professional Maintenance: While regular cleaning and maintenance are essential, it's also important to schedule professional maintenance for your floors. Our team at Franz Flooring offers refinishing services, repairs, and other maintenance options to keep your floors looking their best for years to come.
