Prepping Your Floors For The Holidays

Do you have a lot on your plate when it comes to preparing your home for holiday guests? Well, we can help when it comes to getting your floors ready. See below to find out how you can save time and energy while getting your hardwood floors in tip-top shape before your guests arrive.

Stop Putting It Off
If you’re one of those people who likes to procrastinate, it’s time to change your ways. It’s important to vacuum or sweep your floors weekly to get rid of dust and dirt. Not only will it help prevent dirt from getting pressed into the floor over and over again, it will save you time when it comes to that deep cleaning right before your guests arrive.

Setting Up The Room
We understand how difficult it can be to keep your house clean once guests arrive, but placing area rugs and floor mats down can help. Ask your guests to wipe their feet before entering the room especially if the weather is crummy. Area rugs can help keep your floors protected, especially in high-traffic areas.

Fill In The Cracks
Don’t have time to replace your old floors? Filling in the gaps and cracks can surely help give them a better appearance. Use a stain pen on small cracks to help mask the damage you can use a piece of rope to fill larger gaps. All you need to need to do is cut it to the desired length, stain it to match the color of the floor and place it in the gap. Use a putty or painter’s knife to press it in place.
