Hardwoods High Point What Can Ruin Hardwood Floors?

Some of the nicest looking floors people have ever seen are made from materials such as hardwoods. High Point residents might have heard though how hard it is to keep hardwood floors looking great after years of ware and tare, and it is true that there are a lot of things that can ruin a floor than most people are aware of. Scratches, stains, furniture, and even some different types of footwear can all negatively affect hardwood flooring, and even natural factors such as temperature or lighting can have an impact of how your hardwood flooring looks. It is very important that you take into consideration how you are going to care for your hardwood floors before buying them.

Scuffs and Marks From rubbing or Dragging

One of the worse things that you can do to hardwood floors is getting them scuffed up because they would be rather expensive to repair. One of the most popular ways people scuff their floors is from moving furniture across their hardwoods. High Point residents need to be aware that furniture should have protective pads that protect your hardwood floors. Similarly, be careful of the type of shoes you wear on your hardwood floors; one of the worse kinds of shoes to wear on hardwood is high heals because the weight is not equally distributed and leaves dents in the floor.

Not Sweeping or Vacuuming Regularly

People who have invested into hardwood floorings in their home should be aware that they need to keep up with the dirt and grime in their home to help protect their hardwoods. High Point residents should be aware that dirt, dust, and other particles found on your floors are abrasive and they can scratch your floor. Regularly sweeping or vacuuming can minimize the amount of dirt and dust that is being tracked around your home.
