Earlier this week we linked a helpful article discussing the proper rugs to use on hardwood floors that won't cause damage. Today, let's discuss the use of rugs on Luxury Vinyl Floors.

DID YOU KNOW?
Rubber, both the natural and synthetic, is not safe to use with vinyl floors because it reacts with the chemicals found in vinyl and causes staining. Heat from sunlight or even the friction of foot traffic on rubber-backed rug pads causes this chemical reaction.

Natural material rugs such as Jute, 100% cotton, wool or even felt back rugs are safe for vinyl plank floors.

Let's talk Rugs! Did you know that putting the wrong type of rug or rug pad on top of your hardwood flooring could actually damage it!?!

Let's talk floor care for a minute.

Do you have either solid or engineered hardwood flooring? Are you not sure if you're using the correct cleaning product?

Although vinegar and water is often recommended as a cleaner for hardwood floors, it lacks the lifting agents needed to clean properly.

Let WOODWISE Hardwood Floor Cleaner take the worry out of maintaining your hardwood floors. This biodegradable and phosphate-free cleaner is formulated for today’s no-wax finishes. It lifts the dirt without leaving a residue which could inhibit re-coating your floors. WOODWISE dries fast and contains no oils or waxes that attract and hold soil.

Special shout out to Ken from American Sign and Design "Millworks" doesn't really scream flooring and many individuals drive past our Peoria location on a daily basis not knowing what exactly we have to offer. Adding these vinyl words to the outside of our windows has really elevated our look and provides some basic understanding into who we are.
Ken, you did a fantastic job and we appreciate you!
