Routine Care

Following these simple habits will help keep your floors looking their best:

• Sweep, dust mop, or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and grit.
• Clean spills immediately.
• Place mats at exterior entrances to reduce tracked-in debris.
• Use felt pads beneath furniture legs.
• Lift furniture whenever possible. Never drag it across the floor.
• Keep pet nails trimmed to help minimize scratches.

Sawyer's Tip: Dirt and sand act like sandpaper under your shoes. A quality entry mat is one of the easiest ways to protect your floors.

• Bleach
• Amonnia-based cleaners
• Vinegar or homemade cleaning solutions
• Wax or polish products

Sawyer's Tip: Using more cleaner doesn't make your floors cleaner. Excess product can leave behind residue that attracts dirt and dulls the finish.
