How do I care for and maintain my new floors?

Caring for and maintaining new floors is essential to ensure their longevity and beauty. While specific maintenance requirements may vary depending on the type of flooring installed by Empire Today, there are general guidelines that can be applied across various materials. First and foremost, regular cleaning is important. For hard surface floors, use a microfiber mop and a gentle cleanser designed for that specific type of flooring. It is recommended to avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the surface. Vacuuming or sweeping regularly can help prevent dirt and debris buildup. For carpeted floors, frequent vacuuming helps eliminate dust and allergens, and spot cleaning any spills promptly is crucial to prevent stains. Additionally, it is important to control humidity levels in the home, especially for hardwood floors, as excessive moisture can cause warping. Using rugs or mats at entryways can also help protect your floors from dirt and wear. The installation of protective pads on furniture legs can prevent scratching and damage to the flooring. If heavy items need to be moved, lifting them instead of dragging is advisable.

Regular maintenance will help keep your new floors looking their best for years to come.
