How to Protect Your Floors After Installation

February 3, 2026

No matter which flooring option you choose, proper care will keep your floors looking great for years to come.

1. Use Furniture Pads

Attach felt pads to furniture legs to prevent scratches when moving chairs, tables, and sofas.

2. Sweep and Vacuum Regularly

Dirt and grit act like sandpaper on floors. Regular sweeping or vacuuming helps prevent surface wear.

3. Clean Spills Promptly

Even water-resistant flooring should not be left wet for long periods. Wipe up spills as soon as they happen.

4. Use the Right Cleaning Products

Avoid harsh chemicals or steam cleaners. Always use products recommended for hardwood or LVP flooring.

5. Protect High-Traffic Areas

Rugs and runners in hallways and entryways help reduce wear while adding style.

Professional Installation Makes the Difference

Whether you choose hardwood or LVP, proper installation is key to performance and longevity. Gaps, uneven subfloors, or poor transitions can shorten the life of your floors and affect how they look over time.
