- Use rugs and doormats on the entryways, hall, sitting rooms or lounge areas. This would work as a floor protector as well as decorating piece.
- Make a house rule! Yes, keep a rule to keep your shoes outside of entryways. This would prevent the sharp knocks of stilettoes and tap shoes ruining your wood flooring. Keep room slippers for indoor movement.
Weekly activities
- Learn this habit by heart. This habit will save your flooring from getting damaged and allow the floors to stay in shape for a lifetime. Follow the three stated mantras every week.
Dry-Wet-Dry. Drying your floor first is an essential factor to remove dirt from scratching your floors while you mop. If you fail to dry your floors before wetting and cleaning it will work as a sandpaper and scratch your floorings.
Monthly activities
