Memorial Day Weekend is a wonderful time to get together for a barbecue with friends and family members to kick off the unofficial start of summer. What’s better than kicking back in the sun with a plate of your favorite grilled food and a few cold drinks? Not much if you ask us, but entertaining guests often increases wear and tear on your wood floors so find out how to keep them protected below:
Moisture Is The Enemy
When it comes to water damage homeowners often think their wood floors can be affected by flooding, but this isn’t the case. Too much moisture can severely damage your floors and it can come from high humidity levels inside the home and even spilled liquids. Keep humidity levels constant, make sure your home is kept cool this season and if your guests happen to spill, wipe it up immediately.
Keeping Your Floors Clean
If your party is both indoors and outside, your guests will probably be tracking in some dirt and debris. Ask them to kindly wipe their feet before trekking across the hardwood or to take their shoes off before entering the house. It’s also a good idea to use natural products to clean your floors the day after the party to keep them looking shiny.
