You finally made it through the day and your car got you up the driveway and home safe. As you walk in the house you may be accidentally gradually ruining an expensive feature of your home.
Hardwood flooring is sensitive to abrasives, like the tiny amounts of sand on your shoes.
Always ensure all footwear is clean. Placing doormats at entrance points helps eliminate gravel, dirt, stones, and sand from being tracked in. Some experts recommend establishing a “no shoes” policy for your hardwood floors.
In addition to these preventative methods it is also highly recommended that you vacuum or sweep your hardwood floors regularly. By doing so you will ensure that your floors are not being damaged by foot traffic grinding sand into your floors.
