FLOORING PLUS ROCHESTER
DOOR MATS
Tracking water indoors—think of the kids’ snowy boots creating puddles by the door—can be detrimental to your floors’ lifespan. Placing—and actually using—a door mat can cut down on the amount of grit that is brought into your home, reducing water damage, scratches, and any other kind of damage.
CHRISTMAS TREE
For the folks who love the smell and feel of a real tree, you’ll know that the only way to keep the tree vibrant throughout the holiday season is to water it—and water it a lot! Again, the propensity for water damage on your floors is high unless you take the appropriate measures to create a barrier between the tree and your floor. Use a waterproof Christmas tree stand mat or a plastic drain tray to catch any spills.
Does that ruin the festive look of the tree’s corner? Dress your tree to the nines with a pretty tree skirt to cover all unnecessary accessories.
FELT PADS
Dirt and grime can be swept up, but scratches? They’re unsightly and impossible to remove. If you’re moving furniture around to make room for decorations, use felt pads to minimize damage on your floors. And don’t hide them in a corner quite yet. You’ll need to pull them back out when you’re shuffling everything back in place once January rolls around.
CLEANING
It’s everyone’s least favorite thing to do but alas, it’s a necessary evil. Cleaning your floors frequently will help keep outdoor elements from causing long-term damage. Cleaning frequently will ensure your floors look like new long after the holidays end.
