Your floors take a lot of wear and tear. - Keeping them clean doesn't have to feel like a chore. With the right habits and products, you can maintain spotless, beautiful floors that last longer, even in the busiest households.
Here are 5 simple tips to keep your floors cleaner, longer so they can shine year-round.
1. Use Mats at Entryways
One of the easiest ways to protect your floors is by keeping dirt and debris from ever entering your home. Place mats both outside and inside every entryway to catch dirt, mud, and moisture from shoes. For even better results, encourage family and guests to remove their shoes at the door. This simple habit can significantly reduce the amount of grime tracked through your house, keeping floors cleaner for longer.
2. Sweep or Vacuum Regularly
Daily sweeping or vacuuming may sound like a lot, but it's the secret to preventing dirt and dust from accumulating. These tiny particles can scratch and dull your floors over time, especially if you have hardwood or laminate surfaces. A quick sweep with a soft-bristled broom or a run over with the vacuum will go a long way in maintaining your floors pristine look. Make it part of your daily or every-other-day routine to keep dust and debris in check.
3. Mop with Nellie's Floor Care Once a Week
Mopping once a week with a gentle, non-toxic cleaner like Nellie's Floor Care is the ultimate way to maintain a clean floor without harsh chemicals. Nellie's Floor Care is specifically designed to lift dirt, grime, and sticky messes, leaving your floor spotless and streak-free. Simply pour a little Floor Care into your WOW Mop or use it with a traditional mop and bucket. Its plant-based formula ensures that your floors are clean and safe for kids, pets, and bare feet.
4. Avoid Over-Wetting the Floor
While mopping is essential, over-soaking your floors can cause more harm than good, especially for hardwood or laminate surfaces. Excess water can seep into cracks and crevices, leading to swelling, warping, or damage over time. When mopping, use a slightly damp mop rather than soaking wet. If you're using Nellie's WOW Mop, its controlled spray ensures you're using just the right amount of solution for a perfect clean.
5. Protect Floors with Felt Pads
Furniture legs can be a floor's worst enemy, especially when they're moved around frequently. Protect your floors from scratches and scuffs by adding felt pads to the bottom of furniture legs, such as chairs, tables, and sofas. These pads act as a cushion between your floors and the furniture, keeping your surfaces smooth and damage-free. Regularly check and replace worn-out pads to ensure long-lasting protection.
Bonus Tip: Embrace the No-Shoes Rule
Want to take your floor-cleaning game to the next level? Adopt a no-shoes rule in your home. Shoes track in dirt, germs, and even small rocks that scratch your floors. Provide a designated space by the door for shoes to keep your floors sparkling.
