Most floor damage is preventable. A few cheap habits keep a new floor looking new for far longer.
Furniture
- Felt pads under chair and table legs
- Wide caster cups for heavy furniture
- Lift, don't drag, when moving items
Pets
Keep pet claws trimmed, wipe muddy paws, and place mats under water bowls. Waterproof vinyl handles pets well, but grit and standing water are still worth managing.
Entries
Doormats at every entry catch the grit that causes most surface scratching — the simplest, most effective protection there is.
