How to Keep Your Floors Clean During the Holidays

The holidays are a busy time for everyone. Whether you’re traveling, hosting relatives or throwing a few parties, you want to make sure your home doesn’t take a beating. Whether you have hardwood, carpet or tile floors, you want to keep them in good condition so you’re not left spending thousands of dollars on floor cleaning services once the holiday festivities are over. Here are some of our tips for keeping your floors clean during the holidays.

Have your floors professionally cleaned ahead of time

Make sure your floor gets a thorough and deep cleaning before the holidays begin. Call Langenwalter Carpet Cleaning to schedule a time for your floors to be cleaned before your guests arrive. We’ll make sure you are left with fresh, clean floors so your home looks and feels more inviting. Not sure if you want to clean your floors before the relatives arrive? We recommend having your area rugs cleaned. That way they will look clean and vibrant, even if the rest of your flooring doesn’t.

Buy a welcome mat as soon as possible

A welcome mat is the easiest way to keep dirt, grime, water and salt off of your floors this winter. Rocks, pebbles and gravel will be kicked all over your beautiful floors if you don’t have a doormat for guests to wipe their shoes when they enter your home. Politely ask your guests to make sure they wipe their shoes and remove them before stepping onto your carpet or hardwood floors. If your guests are worried about losing their shoes, purchase a shoe rack to keep next to your door for guests to place their shoes in. That way you can keep track of everyone’s shoes and your flooring will still stay nice and clean.

Break out the extra tables, chairs and coasters

A simple way to ensure your guests don’t spill red wine or soda on your beautiful floors or rugs is to provide them with plenty of surfaces for them to set their plates and glasses on. Spills are more likely to happen when your guests are away from the dining table or kitchen. If you’re hosting a holiday party your guests are going to be walking around, mixing and mingling, and will most likely have a plate of food or cocktail in hand. Keep your floors clean by providing additional tables, chairs and coasters for your guests to use during your party.

The holidays can be stressful sometimes, so don’t let keeping your flooring clean increase your stress level. Follow these guidelines so you can enjoy the holidays.
