Make everyday care count
Small, regular actions help limit the grit, moisture, and stains that wear flooring. Match each task to the material, and respond quickly when dirt or spills appear.
Remove grit often
Grit acts like an abrasive under shoes and furniture. Vacuum carpet and sweep or use a suitable vacuum on hard flooring, giving entrances and busy paths extra attention.
Handle spills promptly
Blot liquid from carpet rather than rubbing it deeper into the pile. On hard flooring, remove the spill with a suitable cloth and avoid leaving moisture around seams, edges, or joints.
Use the right method
Cleaning products, water, brushes, and machines can affect fibers, finishes, and adhesives. Read the flooring care instructions first, test an unfamiliar product in an inconspicuous spot, and stop if the surface changes.
Clear answers before the next step
How should I respond to a carpet spill?
Blot it promptly with a clean absorbent cloth, work from the outside toward the center, and avoid aggressive rubbing.
Can one cleaner be used on every floor?
No. Flooring materials and finishes have different limits, so use products and tools that the relevant care instructions permit.
