As November rolls around, the holiday season is fast approaching. It’s the time of year when friends and family gather to celebrate, and your home becomes the center of joyous festivities. If you’re planning to host gatherings or simply want to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for the holidays, ensuring your flooring is ready is a crucial step. At Keystone Floor Works, we understand the importance of having beautiful and practical floors that can withstand the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. In this blog, we’ll share some tips to get your floors holiday-ready.
-
Deep Clean for a Fresh Start
Before you start decorating and welcoming guests, give your floors a thorough, deep cleaning. Vacuum carpets, sweep and mop hard surfaces, and use appropriate cleaners to remove stains and spills. Floor cleaning not only looks better but also provides a healthier indoor environment for your loved ones.

Area Rugs for Warmth and Style
Area rugs are a fantastic way to protect and enhance your flooring. They add warmth, comfort, and a pop of color or pattern to your space. Consider placing rugs in high-traffic areas, under dining tables, or in the living room to define seating areas and protect your floors from scratches and spills. Whether you go with an oriental rug, modern area rug or something more traditional, this is an effective way to help brace your floors for foot traffic in style.
-
Floor Maintenance and Repairs
Inspect your floors for any signs of wear and tear. If you have hardwood or laminate floors, consider refinishing or resealing them to restore their shine. For carpets, schedule a professional cleaning to remove deep-seated dirt and allergens. Address any minor repairs now to prevent them from becoming major issues later.
-
Choose Flooring-Friendly Decorations
When decorating your home for the holidays, keep your flooring in mind. Opt for non-scratch decorations and be cautious with heavy items that could dent or damage floors. Place coasters or protective pads under furniture legs to prevent indentations, and be mindful of where you position your Christmas tree to avoid moisture damage to hardwood floors.
-
Regular Maintenance Throughout the Season
Once the holidays are in full swing, continue to maintain your floors regularly. Vacuum or sweep as needed, especially in high-traffic areas, to prevent dirt and debris from accumulating. Promptly clean up spills to prevent stains and damage.
