To prolong the life of a floor, consider the following maintenance and repair tips: Carpet Regular shampoo. To extend the look and life of carpet, give it a regular shampoo according to the carpet manufacturer's guidelines. Patch work. Replace large areas of damaged carpet with a patch of matching carpet. This is a relatively easy process that can make the carpet look new. Goodbye burnt ends. If the tips of the carpet are burned, use scissors to cut off the affected area. Use a mild cleansing detergent to lightly sponge the ends, repeating the process with clean water. Hardwood Protect your investment. Applying a finish to hardwood flooring is a fantastic way to protect the surface from wear and grime, while providing it with a new lustre. Adding protector pads to the bottom of furniture and placing rugs in high traffic areas are other great ways to protect the surface. Crystal clean. Wipe hardwood flooring periodically with a professional cleaning product and immediately after any spills to keep the surface in top condition. Laminate Clean with care. A weekly sweep with a standard cotton dust mop is a great way to keep laminate flooring clean. If spills occur, immediately wipe the area with a damp cloth followed by a dry one. Never use abrasive cleaners, polishes or waxes as they may damage laminate flooring. Tile All cracked up. Always keep extra tiles on hand after a flooring project to make replacing damaged tiles easy. Just replace the old tile with one of the extras to make the floor look like new again. - News Canada At Closet and Storage Concepts, we don't just sell you a storage cabinet, we provide creative ideas for complete home space management.
