Refinishing Wood Floors in Rockland County

Winter can be a stressful month on everyone. Everything from commuting to going outside seems to take a little more preparation and time. One area that often gets overlooked during these times is your hardwood floors. The winter months can take a serious toll during the bitter frost of the year. Use these tips to ensure your floors stay don't suffer.

• Make sure to keep the humidity levels in your home balanced. The dryness caused by central heating can make your floorboards split and crack. The dampness caused by the humidity in the air can cause your floorboards to expand. If you use a humidifier or dehumidifier, keep the levels between 40-60%.
• Floor mats will catch snow, slush, and dirt and prevent damage. Keeping the mats as clean and dry as possible will also extend the life of your floors.
• Remove your shoes when entering the house, encourage your family and visitors to do the same. This will prevent any salt, slush or snow from being trekked over your floors.
• Pets are beloved by everyone, but they are the worst enemy for hardwood floors. They will often track snow and sludge into your home and all over your floors. Clean off your pet's paws before entering the house and reward them for a treat. This will teach them that wiping their paws leads to good things.

These tips will help extend the life of your hardwood floors, and reduce the amount of wear. If you are in need of refinishing wood floors in Rockland County and NJ, then call Majestic Floors today.
