How do I choose which floor cleaning product to use?

This depends on the type of flooring. For example, carpet requires a different cleaning product than hardwood flooring. Some harsh cleaning chemicals can damage the coating on hardwood, oil-based products can damage cork and laminate flooring, and acidic products will take away the shine of vinyl. The proper floor cleaner protects your floors against damage, including fading, spotting, stains, mold and mildew, hazing, and more.

How do I care for hardwood floors?

To maintain hardwood floors, sweep or vacuum regularly, at least once or twice a week depending on dirt level and foot traffic. Mop with water mixed with a gentle cleanser once a week and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on treating scratches and dents. Never use steam on hardwood floors, avoid abrasive cleansers, and remove wet spills right away. Consider adding a runner and area rugs in high-traffic areas and place floor mats at entranceways to prevent damage from moisture and dirt.
