Protect Your Floors During the Holidays

During the holiday season, guests are coming and going and your floors are getting more wear than normal. There are a few tips that will help keep your floors nice and stay cleaner longer!

1. Institute a new shoes in the house policy: This will ensure no one is tracking anything on your floors and dirtying your floors.
2. If you have pets, make a pet policy: If you normally only let your dogs in through the mud room so you can clean their paws, let everyone know upfront that they only come in through that door. Otherwise, guests will think they are being helpful by letting the dogs in the living room door and allowing them to track their dirty paws through the house.
3. Have door mats at every door: This will encourage guests to wipe their shoes off before coming in the door.
4. If there are any floors you desperately want to protect, buy cheap rugs to conceal them during the holidays.
5. Clean spills as they happen: A setting spill does more damage than a recent spill!
