How to Keep Your Floors Looking New: A Homeowner’s Guide

New floors can completely transform a home—but maintaining them is just as important as choosing the right material. Proper upkeep ensures long-term performance and appearance, helping homeowners protect their investment.

Hardwood Floors should be swept regularly to avoid surface scratches. Use microfiber mops and avoid excessive water. For deeper cleans, specialized wood floor cleaners are ideal.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) is low-maintenance but still needs care. Use a soft broom or vacuum without a beater bar to keep it looking sharp. Occasional damp mopping with a vinyl-safe cleaner will do the trick.

Tile Flooring requires attention to grout lines. Regular mopping keeps the surface clean, but once a month, a grout brush with a baking soda paste or tile-safe cleaner will refresh the joints.

Carpet demands frequent vacuuming, especially in high-traffic areas. Scheduling a deep clean every 6–12 months will help maintain color and softness.

Rugs, furniture pads, and avoiding shoes indoors are easy preventative measures. With consistency and care, residential flooring can stay beautiful for many years. Let us keep your flooring in great condition, contact us today at Robbie’s Floor Coverings.
