Flooring usually refers to a formal floor covering over a subfloor, which can include carpet, hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and tile. Here are some how-to steps to properly care for and maintain the flooring in your home:

  1. Keep floor as dirt-free as possible by sweeping, dust-mopping, or vacuuming daily. Dirt and debris can scratch hard surface floors and wear down carpet fibers.
  2. Prevent entry of dirt into your home by equipping doorways with both outdoor and indoor mats. Vacuum mats regularly to keep them working effectively.
  3. Provide places for muddy shoes to be removed at entryways.
  4. Take care of spills and stains promptly.
  5. Use the right kind of cleaning products for your floor type.
