Tips and tricks to maintain your floors
Be aware of how you clean your new floors
Vacuum and/or dry mop the area before using cleaning products and always allow your floors to dry to avoid marks and footprints.
Keep pet’s nails short
If you have pets living inside, keep their nails trimmed and their paws clean. This will further reduce excess grit and reduce damage.
Clean up spills as quickly as possible
Liquids left too long on your floors can cause the finish to discolour.
Damage-proof your furniture and add felt pads wherever necessary
Ensure the legs of movable furniture, such as dining room chairs, are fitted with protective felt pads. This helps to prevent any scratches on the floor’s surface. Likewise, be careful when moving heavy objects or pieces of furniture across your living spaces. Lift them into position, rather than dragging them.
