Making Your Karndean Flooring Last a Long Time

Flooring can add beauty to your home. They can come in solid colours or they can take the form of very whimsical designs. They also come in different types, such as carpet, vinyl, tile, and wood. There is also a laminate flooring option for areas in your house that are prone to dampness.

Of course, just having beautiful flooring is not enough. You would have to make sure that it is properly cared for so that guests who might wander in would not think that your home just survived a major disaster. Here are a few suggestions that would help you in maintaining your flooring:

1. Clean it frequently. People have become more engrossed with their work nowadays that they leave things at home in disarray and only get to attend to them when they show signs of disintegration. However, leaving floors unkempt for long periods of time allows dirt and stains to be deeply ingrained that it would take forever to clean them. So, regularly sweeping your floors will definitely help them last longer.

2. Wipe spillage immediately. Spilling is not unheard of. Every so often, someone in your household is going to spill something. Whether it be your baby-who can be forgiven immediately just because they are so cute, or your husband-who you would find harder to forgive because he has left a permanent dent on your Karndean flooring. The point is that it happens and the remedy is simple: mop the mess pronto and do not wait until it leaves an ugly stain that will have you reeling every time you pass by it.

3. Use felt pads on your furniture. It is a known fact that you do move your furniture when you clean, right? The thing about cleaning is that people tend to drag instead of lift. Now, dragging is very harmful to your floor. It can leave unsightly marks that cannot be removed just by scrubbing it off until your fingers bleed. Felt pads were invented to prevent this catastrophe. So, put them underneath the feet of your furniture and rest assured you can breathe easier the next time someone attempts to drag a chair or a child smashes into it while playing.

4. Apply a new coating. This would actually depend on how heavily used your floor would be. But if the time would come that your floor looks like it would need a facelift so that it would still look shiny and new, be generous and tend to its needs.

Now that you are armed with these tips, go ahead and start scrubbing and cleaning for the betterment of your flooring.
