Whether you chose us to refinish your wood floors or another floor refinishing company, you want to protect your investment. Your refinished floors should last about a decade, however, homes with pets and children often see more wear and tear sooner. If you want your newly refinished floors to look great for years to come, here are a few things you should do.
Trim Your Pet’s Nails & Wipe Their Paws
If you have pets, keeping their nails trimmed is essential to help prevent scratches and even dents. The larger the pet, the more damage they can do. Their paws alone can also damage your flooring. Especially pets who walk on the beach regularly. Paws and fur can trap sand and other dirt. When they bring the sand home, it acts like sandpaper leaving invisible damage that, over time, will show and you’ll end up needing a floor refinishing company again sooner than you want.
Place Rugs at Your Entry
Most people have a mat outside their door for people to wipe their feet. However, you should go a step further and add entry rugs. They can further help reduce tracking dirt on your floors. Not only will they help prevent scratches but also keep your floors cleaner. Of course, removing shoes at the door is also a great idea.
Sweep Regularly
Sweeping your floors or using a dry Swiffer regularly is one tip we give as a floor refinishing company to every homeowner. For some that may mean daily. For others, weekly may be sufficient. It depends on the traffic in your home. If you have a pet, especially one who sheds or comes in and out of the home frequently, sweeping daily is something to consider to extend the life of the floors.
