Preventative Measures to Protect Your Floors This Fall

As we approach fall, it's essential to prepare your home for the seasonal wear and tear that comes with it. Here's how to keep your floors in top shape:

  1. Use Doormats at Entryways: Place doormats at every entry point to trap dirt and soil before it reaches your floors.

  2. Be Prepared for Spills: Have a safe spotter on hand for any unexpected spills. We recommend our HomePro spotter, but Folex is another excellent option. Investing in fabric protection application at the time of your next cleaning is also a good idea, as it creates a barrier that helps prevent spills from becoming permanent stains.

  3. Prevent Pet Messes with a Plan: Keep pets clean and minimize soil transfer by setting up a covered area outside for them to use in bad weather, using a pen near the door for quick wipe-downs when they enter the home, staying on top of their grooming schedule, and using paw cleaners can help tremendously.

  4. Regular Vacuuming: Maintain a regular vacuuming routine to keep fall debris from accumulating and keep your floors looking their best. Remember to vacuum your upholstery as well, especially if you have pets!

  5. Consider Professional Cleaning Before the Holidays: Get ahead of the holiday rush by scheduling a professional cleaning to ensure your floors are spotless for any upcoming gatherings.

Stay proactive and keep your floors looking pristine with these simple steps!
