Hardwood & Laminate Flooring Maintenance Tips

Proper care and maintenance ensure your hardwood and laminate flooring stay beautiful and durable for years. Follow these expert tips to keep your floors in top condition.

1. Daily & Weekly Cleaning Routine

Sweep or Vacuum Regularly – Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum with a hard floor attachment to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface.
Damp Mop with a pH-Neutral Cleaner – Avoid excessive moisture; instead, use a slightly damp microfiber mop with a hardwood-safe cleaner for deep cleaning.

2. Prevent Scratches & Damage

Use Furniture Pads – Attach felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches on hardwood and laminate flooring.
Avoid High Heels & Pet Nails – Trim pet nails regularly and avoid wearing spiked or high-heeled shoes on wood floors.
Place Rugs & Mats in High-Traffic Areas – Use area rugs in entryways and hallways to reduce wear and tear.

3. Protect Against Moisture & Spills

Wipe Up Spills Immediately – Excess moisture can damage both hardwood and laminate flooring. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean up spills.
Use a Dehumidifier in Humid Months – Texas weather can bring humidity changes, which cause wood floors to expand and contract. A dehumidifier helps maintain stability.

4. Avoid Harsh Cleaners & Steam Mops

Never Use Vinegar or Ammonia-Based Cleaners – According to the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), vinegar and ammonia can strip the protective finish from hardwood floors and damage laminate surfaces (NWFA).
Skip the Steam Mop – The heat and moisture can warp hardwood planks and weaken laminate flooring bonds.

5. Seasonal Maintenance Tips for Keller, TX Homes

Winter Care: Use a humidifier to prevent wood shrinkage during dry months.
Summer Maintenance: Close curtains during peak sunlight to prevent fading from Texas heat.

By following these simple maintenance tips, you’ll keep your hardwood and laminate flooring looking stunning for years. If you’re ready for new flooring or need expert advice, visit The Floor Store of Keller today!
