With winter an its way out and Spring trying to make an appearance, there are many ways that mud, slush and all kinds of organic material can be tracked into your home!

In order to protect your floors, it is necessary to get organized.  Below are a few ideas on how to keep your floors in mint condition through the variable weather of Spring.

• Make sure you put floor mats on both the outside and the inside of entry ways.
• Have a specific place to put wet shoes so that the excess water doesn’t get to your floors. Consider having back up mats to ensure that they are always clean and dry to best absorb water.
• Vacuum the salt and / or sand right away. Some debris is bound to be tracked in your house past the floor mats, so be sure to vacuum any visible salt or sand so it doesn’t get into the flooring or carpets!
• Be sure to use a recommended cleaner for floors, since not all of them work as well as others. Ask us here at Sparkle floors what we recommend J
• Get your carpets cleaned now! Most manufactures recommend cleaning your carpet every 18 months, and now is a great time after all the mud tracked in over winter. Talk to us about cleaning your carpets!
