The right floor care product makes all the difference. To ensure the maximum lifetime of your floors, always use quality cleaning products. Whether it is for your home or commercial property, a dirty floor is a potential health and safety risk for all who use the space, including young children, pets, and those with compromised immune systems. This highlights the importance of proper floor care as a crucial part of maintaining your property.

Whether it’s a commercial space, rental unit, or your own home, we can help you maintain your floor the proper way.
With so many different types of flooring available, cleaning them all can be challenging. Some manufacturers produce their own cleaning solutions specifically for their products, others do not. Some manufacturers require you to use specific cleaners or their warranty is void, others do not.
The proper floor cleaner protects your floors against damage, including fading, spotting, stains, mold and mildew, hazing, and more. With the many options of brands and types of products in the market, it can be confusing to know which one to choose. At Deerfoot Carpet & Flooring, we’re here to help. We recommend the best floor cleaner based on:

Another aspect of floor care that is not discussed enough is prevention to avoid common floor care issues. The first step to protecting your floors is always having proper entrance matting. An ideal system would include an outdoor mat for the release of large debris with an interior mat for finer debris. This alone will prevent a large portion of the typical dirt and debris brought in from outdoors.
Natural stone flooring is a good example in which prevention can be a key factor in maintaining its look. Another example is sealing a slate tile which can prevent most of the dirt, soil, and wear that can occur over time. Applying a coat of oil to an oil-finished hardwood can bring back its lustre. Many flooring products also require regular maintenance. Deerfoot Carpet & Flooring can help inform you of all these requirements.
BOOK AN APPOINTMENTThis depends on the type of flooring. For example, carpet requires a different cleaning product than hardwood flooring. Some harsh cleaning chemicals can damaged 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, mildew, and hazing. If you’re unsure about what type of floor cleaning products to use, contact us.
To maintain hardwood floors, it’s important to sweep and vacuum them regularly. Mop weekly with water and a gentle cleanser, following the manufacturer’s recommendations for treating dents and scratches.
For most types of flooring, it’s best to way at least one or two days before moving furniture back. Our professional installers will inform you of curing times for your specific flooring.
