We love installing laminate 😍 Four reasons to install it in your home!

1. Durability and Scratch Resistance 🐕
We all have high traffic areas in our home. Whether that traffic is humans or pets, laminate has a wear layer to protect it, making it a great option for busy households!

2. Realistic Appearance and Design Options ✨
Laminate flooring is produced with printing technology, which means there are endless possibilities for the patterns available. The brands we recommend look great - while being more resistant to damage than some alternatives.

3. Cost Effectiveness 💸
If you love the look of genuine hardwood and stone, but not the price tag, look at laminate! You can get an expensive look for a fraction of the price.

4. Easy Installation and Maintenance 🧹
We still recommend professional installation, but an easy install means we'll be in and out of your house and have you enjoying your new floors in no time. Plus, once we're gone, it's easy to clean and maintain with sweeping and occasional mopping!

Want to upgrade your home's aesthetics...and camouflage stains and dirt that gets tracked into your house? A darker-colored carpet might be your new best friend.

For aesthetic appeal, we like carpets with a little ✨flare✨ like we've shown here.

If you want to keep stains and dirt in high-traffic areas on the down low, choose a dark, low-pile carpet. No one will ever know you haven't had time to shampoo the carpets. 🤫

These carpets are also quite versatile - perfect for living rooms, kids' rooms, and more.

Did you know that engineered hardwood uses 70% of wood material, whereas solid hardwoods use 30%? 🌳

Responsible sourcing ensures we'll be able to keep installing beautiful floors made with natural materials in the long-term. Plus, keeping forests healthy ensures that bigfoot can continue to evade humans...

Have you ever seen a DIY flooring installation go wrong? We have.

Sheet vinyl can be an attractive and budget-friendly option when you really can't stand to look at your old floors anymore.

But you still can't skimp on the prep work! Wrinkled floors like this can happen because of:
- Improper subfloor preparation
- Incorrect adhesive application
- Temperature/humidity outside of recommended ranges
- Improper cutting and fitting

Remember, affordable flooring is only affordable if you don't have to rip it out and start over!

It's time for Bigfoot's !

Did you know that laminate flooring was first introduced in Sweden in the 1970s? It quickly gained traction (😉) because it's both durable and affordable!

You can learn more about laminate flooring and see some of our legendary flooring installations on our website at: https://bigfootflooringmi.com/laminate/

The reels and TikTok videos make it look easy, but DIY floors can end up costing you!

When you choose a professional installation, you can avoid:
- Flooring failures from uneven subfloors
- Accidental damage to your products from using the wrong tools; in some cases, this can even void your product's warranty!
- Buying products twice because you measured wrong (oops)
- And even injuries from improperly operating tools.

Special thanks to our trade partners!! Another LEGENDARY flooring makeover in the books!

There's nothing quite like soft and cushy carpet as a ✨little treat✨ for your toesies!

Unfortunately, pollen, dirt, and dust mites love carpet just as much as we do, so make sure to keep up on your carpet maintenance before you need new carpets altogether.

1. Vacuum regularly. We recommend twice a week for high-traffic areas, and at least once a week for others. If you have allergies, it doesn't hurt to hoover more often!

2. Address spills immediately. Don't panic! Grab a clean cloth to blot up excess liquids and use a mild detergent to get stains out before they set. If you know your carpet's at risk of red wine spills or pet accidents, make sure to keep specialized cleaners on hand and test for color fastness ahead of time!

3. Deep clean annually. A professional deep clean is a great way to reset your house. But if you'd rather clean your carpets yourself, make sure to extract as much water as possible to prevent mold and mildew growth.

That wraps up this week's .

⚠️ If you have laminate floors, these 4 common cleaning mistakes can destroy them.

Mistake 1: Too much water
A little goes a long way. It's a floor, not a garden!

Mistake 2: Steam cleaning
While great for tile, steam cleaners can cause damage to laminate, which doesn't stand up as well to heat and moisture.

Mistake 3: Leaving cleaning solution for too long
If left for too long, cleaners can seep into laminate flooring, causing irreversible damage and discoloration.

Mistake 4: Abrasive materials
🛑 Put down the magic eraser! Do not pass go, do not collect $200! Only use soft materials to clean your laminate (unless you're looking for an excuse to get new floors...sorry babe!).

Does it get any better than that?

⚠️ This is one lesson you won't want to learn the hard way.

Most laminate floors are not truly waterproof. They can be water resistant, but if spills are left for a while, liquids can soak into the core, causing expansion and plank damage.

If you're busy, forgetful, or have a pet that might have accidents while you're not home, these may not be the best floors for you. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is an excellent alternative!

Today, we take a moment to show our appreciation for one of our favorite flooring manufacturers with a poem 💝

An Ode to Flooret 📜🖋

A spectrum of colors, rich and bright,
Transforming spaces with sheer delight.
From rustic charm to modern grace,
You bring beauty to every place.

In a world of floors, you stand apart,
With planks and boards, a work of art.
Luxury vinyl, engineered wood,
Each piece as perfect as it could.

Flooret, you turn houses into homes,
With elegance that freely roams.
In every room, a story told,
Of quality, both strong and bold.

Question #1: What kind of flooring is best for dogs?
Answer: The best flooring for dogs is one that is durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean. Some options to consider include laminate flooring, vinyl flooring, and engineered hardwood.

--

Question #2: Is laminate flooring a good choice for pet owners?
Answer: Laminate flooring is a viable option for pet owners due to its balance of durability and aesthetics. It resists scratches and dents, mimics the look of hardwood at a lower cost, and is easy to clean. While not fully waterproof, many modern laminates offer good water resistance.

--

Question #3: How do I eliminate pet odors from floors?
Answer: To eliminate pet odors from floors, it's important to address them based on the flooring type.
- Laminate floors resist odor but can absorb liquids at the seams, so clean spills promptly.
- Vinyl flooring is highly water-resistant and less likely to harbor odors; regular cleaning with a mild cleaner is effective.
- Tile floors, particularly porcelain and ceramic, resist odors well, but grout lines can absorb smells, so sealing them can provide added protection.

Can engineered flooring be installed over concrete subfloors? 🤔

Sometimes. Cutting corners on these installs can result in mold and mildew, warping, and premature flooring failure. ☹️

The good news? A little preparation goes a long way to protect your investment. Precautions like moisture testing, plank acclimation, and environment control can keep you from making a costly mistake!
