Purchasing new hardwood floors for your home is often a big decision.  Real hardwood flooring is not the cheapest option for your home, so when you choose hardwood, you’re choosing a real investment for your home.

So instead of just hoping that your investment maintains its worth as time goes on, you should take the necessary steps to ensure that your hardwood stays clean and free of scratches or tarnish.

Here are a few tips that can help you maintain the quality of your hardwood investment:

• Use Floor Mats- Using a floor mat is one of the easiest ways to keep your hardwood from scratching.  Make sure you place a floor mat next to any entrances in your home.  What this does is allows visitors to your home to wipe off their feet and get rid of as much excess dirt as possible.  If you don’t have a floor mat, people will bring all sorts of dirt and debris into your home and will make the possibility of your floors getting scratched much higher.
• Sweep Daily- Sweeping seems like such an annoying chore doesn’t it? You shuffle dirt around your floors like an amateur hockey player and no matter how many times you sweep the same spot, there always seems to be stray dirt left there… and don’t even mention sweeping the dirt into the dust pan! Can’t they come up with a better way to pick the dirt up?  It takes about 20 sweeps in order to get it all into the dust pan to be thrown out.  But all joking aside, sweeping is incredibly important in your path to maintaining your hardwood investment.

There are many other things you can do to keep your hardwood floors clean, but if you could simply focus on getting floor mats at all the entrances, and sweeping your floors daily, then you’d be making great strides to keeping your floors in tip top shape!

Laminate flooring is very “in” right now when it comes to home decor.  Why is this you might be asking?  Well it’s actually very simple.

In today’s economy, everybody wants to get the “look of luxury” without paying a luxurious price, and laminate offers just that.  Laminate gives the beautiful look of hardwood floors, without the larger bill that usually comes with real hardwood.

So if you’re now sold on the idea of laminate,and are going out to look for laminate flooring, there are a few things you need to consider:

• Finish- There is a myriad of styles to choose from when it comes to the “finish” on your laminate flooring.  Make sure to look for laminate that will match your home’s current decor, or that will be versatile enough to match any future decor you plan to implement.  Also consider using darker finishes in “higher traffic” areas so that dirt will be less likely to show up.
• Quality- The quality of laminate flooring can be distinguished in a few ways.  First, make sure you ask about how thick the core of the laminate is.  The core thickness usually ranges from about 6 millimeters to about 12 millimeters (6 being the least durable and 12 being the most).  Also make sure to examine the way the laminate connects (the locking mechanism).  Make sure the locking mechanism fits well from piece to piece or else the installation process will be a nightmare.
• Warranty- Lastly, when you purchase laminate flooring, you want to look for a good warranty (just like any other product you invest in).  Ask the company you’re purchasing from to see a copy of the warranty for the laminate, and check to make sure it covers these like stains, wear, and fading that comes early on after your purchase.

One place that can help you find what you’re looking for in laminate flooring is Direct Flooring Center.  Visit any of or three locations in Bend Oregon, Eugene Oregon, or Albany Oregon.

Looking for something to add style and sophistication to your home?  We’ve got a great idea for you!  How about an area rug to go in a high traffic area, under a dining room table, or in the middle of your living room?

Area rugs are not only used to promote that sense of style and sophistication that you’re looking for, but they’re also great for protecting your wood flooring from the furniture that sits on top of it, and protecting your carpet from the damage that heavy walking can cause.

At Direct Flooring Center, you can get area rugs in two different ways:

1. You can choose from our inventory of carpet remnants and find a style/color/texture that you like, and we will have it custom cut and bound to your specification.
2. We can help you place custom rug orders.

For great selection, service, and price come to Direct Flooring Center today and you’ll no doubt leave feeling confident and happy that you’ve found the area rug that suits your Corvallis Oregon home.

Knowing what to look for inside a carpet warehouse is the best way to ensure that you’re not getting a bad deal on your carpeting.

When you walk into a carpet warehouse or a carpet store for the first time:

• Look around at the selection they have “in store.”  Can you actually look at and touch the carpeting that you’re planning on putting in your home?  If so, that’s a positive!
• As you’re looking at the selection, try to notice the brands of carpeting that they provide.  Do they provide well-known brands like Stainmaster, Antso, and Smartstrand?  If so, it’s a good sign!
• While surveying the stock, are you approached by the sales staff to help you find what you’re looking for?  Is the sales staff knowledgeable and asking the right questions?  Do they make you feel comfortable and like you’re in good hands?  If so, you’ve found a good spot!

Direct Flooring Center provides you with a large number of “in store” carpet products to look through so that you can feel and really visualize what the carpet will look like in your home.  They carry the well-known brands that you’re looking for, not just cheap carpeting that won’t last and won’t be good for your needs.  And finally, the sales staff at Direct Flooring Center offers fantastic advice when you’re choosing the best flooring material for your home.

1. Remove loose dirt- Loose dirt will be the first thing to cause damage to your vinyl flooring.  If you consistently remove loose dirt through sweeping or vacuuming, you will limit your chance of loose dirt scratching the floor.
2. Clean up spills- Leaving food or liquid spills on vinyl floor is not a good idea, so clean up spills right as they happen.  If you don’t clean up spills until later, you’ll likely be creating stains and attracting more dirt to your floor.
3. Wash the floor- There’s no science or magic number for how often you should wash your vinyl flooring; just remember this- if your floor looks dirty- clean it!  It’s not too difficult to clean either.  You just use warm water, without soap, as long as you change the water frequently.
4. More advanced cleaning- If your damp mopping doesn’t do the trick, grab some cleaning solution or an all-purpose cleaner for the floor.  Make sure that you rinse the floor thoroughly though, because if you don’t, the left over cleaner will be sticky and cause the floor to get dirtier quicker.
5. Polishing- Since most vinyl floors are “no wax” floors, you don’t have to worry about waxing them too often, but what you can do is work to keep the shine.  All you need is a floor polish made for vinyl floors.  Apply very thin coats of the polish, and make sure to pour the polish on the applicator, instead of the floor, to make sure you get an even finish.

If you’re looking to buy vinyl flooring or need more information on how to care for vinyl flooring, make sure you visit our flooring website or give us a call.  At Direct Flooring Center, we’re your go-to store for anything flooring.
