How to Maintain and Care for Your Floors

Your floors are an investment, and they can last for decades with proper care. Follow these expert tips to keep your flooring in pristine condition:

1. Carpet Maintenance

• Vacuum regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
• Treat stains immediately with a carpet cleaner or a mix of water and mild detergent.
• Schedule professional cleaning every 12–18 months.

2. Hardwood Care

• Sweep or vacuum frequently to remove debris.
• Use a damp mop with a wood-safe cleaner for a deep clean.
• Protect from scratches by placing pads under furniture.

3. Tile and Vinyl Cleaning

• Mop tiles with a mix of warm water and mild detergent.
• For vinyl, use a non-abrasive cleaner to maintain its finish.
• Wipe spills promptly to prevent staining.

4. Seasonal Considerations

Delaware's humid summers can affect hardwood. Use a dehumidifier to maintain a consistent indoor climate.
