Congratulations on your new floors from One Cut Flooring! We understand that you want to keep your floors looking beautiful for years to come. With proper maintenance and care, you can ensure that your floors remain in top condition. Here are some tips from One Cut Flooring's Guide to Maintaining Your New Floors for Lifelong Beauty:

1. Regular Cleaning: It is essential to keep your floors clean to prevent dirt and grime from scratching the surface. Sweep or vacuum your floors regularly to remove dust, debris, and pet hair. For hardwood floors, use a dry microfiber mop to clean up spills and stains.

2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: When cleaning your floors, avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaners that can damage the finish. Stick to manufacturer-recommended cleaning products or DIY solutions such as vinegar and water for a gentle yet effective clean.

3. Use Felt Pads: To prevent scratches and dents on your floors, use felt pads on the legs of furniture such as chairs, tables, and sofas. These pads provide a protective barrier between the furniture and the floor surface.

4. Trim Pet's Nails: If you have pets, make sure to trim their nails regularly to avoid scratching the floors. Place a rug or mat near the entrance for your pets to wipe their paws before entering the house.

5. Control Humidity: Moisture and humidity can damage certain types of floors such as hardwood and laminate. Use a humidifier or dehumidifier to maintain the optimal humidity level in your home. In areas with high moisture, consider using a moisture barrier under the floor.

6. Avoid Water Damage: Clean up spills immediately to prevent water damage to your floors. Use a damp cloth to wipe up spills and avoid using excessive water on your floors, especially hardwood and laminate.

7. Protect Floors from Sunlight: Direct sunlight can fade and damage certain types of floors. Use curtains, blinds, or UV-protective film on windows to prevent sunlight from shining directly on your floors.

8. Professional Maintenance: Periodically, consider hiring a professional to refinish or deep clean your floors. This can help restore the beauty of your floors and remove any stubborn stains or scratches.
