Why Restore Stone Floors Before the Holidays?
There are a few good reasons to re-do stone floors before the Holidays. First, why not? Who doesn’t love walking into their home with floors such as marble that look impeccable? Also, it’s one of the first things guests and visitors notice when they come into your home.
High traffic areas such as the kitchen and entry way are the ones that get hit the hardest and may look like you’ve given up on keeping them clean. Polished and impeccably smooth stone floors give an impression of a fresh and well-kept environment.
Another plus is that clean and sealed floors are less troublesome to care for, even with the high volume of holiday foot traffic. With a fresh and revamped layer of defense applied to that, stains or permanent damage are less likely to be caused by sloshed fluids, muddy shoes, or dirt.
Finally, restoring your beloved stone floors contributes to the overall atmosphere of your house, where family and friends can sit and converse in comfort and luxury.
Tips to Prepare for More Foot Traffic
There are a few essential things you can do after your floors have been cleaned, polished and restored to safeguard the work that has just been done. First, consider placing entry mats and rugs that serve as valuables in high-traffic areas so that dirt is captured before it touches the stone surface. A durable doormat can be stationed right by the entrance to keep the mud and moisture from getting inside your house.
Secondly, consider the “no shoes inside” directive as much as possible, or give the guests the option of putting their shoes at the door. This isn’t for everyone but if your gathering is on the casual side with close friends and family then give the “shoes off” approach a try, you may be surprised at how willing guests would be to comply.
Finally, after your guests leave and all the dust and grime settles, don’t let it sit on your floors. A quick sweep with a broom or gentle vacuum is the way to go. Keeping them clean will safeguard your floors from premature fatigue. If you incorporate these simple tips, your stone floors can and will stay in good condition throughout the holiday season and beyond.
