The holidays are just around the corner. Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away, and before long the house will be full of family, friends and good food. All that celebrating puts your floors to work, but a little preparation goes a long way.
Before guests arrive, add felt pads to the legs of any chairs or tables you’ll be moving around for extra seating. It’s a small step that saves hardwood, luxury vinyl plank and tile from scratches and scuffs. Once the tree goes up, a waterproof mat or tray under the stand keeps spilled water off hardwood and carpet, and a quick sweep or vacuum every few days keeps fallen needles from getting ground in.
Spills are part of any good party. On carpet, blot (never rub) and work from the outside in. On hardwood, wipe up right away so liquid doesn’t sit in the seams. Tile and stone handle most messes easily, though acidic drinks like wine or citrus are worth wiping up quickly on natural stone. And luxury vinyl plank, waterproof as it is, simply needs a damp cloth.
Short on time for new floors before the holidays? An area rug is one of the quickest ways to refresh a room, adding warmth and color while protecting the floor underneath from all that holiday foot traffic. Stop by the showroom to see what’s new.
Planning something bigger for the year ahead? Whether it’s a single room or your whole first floor, our team is happy to walk you through samples in the showroom or come to your home for a free consultation and estimate. There’s never any pressure, just honest advice about what will work for your space.
