Floor Care Tips in Chandler / Gilbert, AZ

From Footprints Floors's Top Professionals

Proper floor care preserves the appearance and durability of your floors. With regular maintenance, you can prevent damage, enhance aesthetics, and prolong the lifespan of hardwood, laminate, tile, and stone flooring.

At Footprints Floors, we believe that proper floor care doesn't have to be complicated. Here are some general floor care tips in Chandler / Gilbert, AZ to help you keep your floors in good condition:

Regular Cleaning

Keeping your floors clean will help maintain their durability in the long run.

Sweep and Vacuum: Regularly sweeping or vacuuming floors helps remove dirt and debris that can cause scratches. Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum with a hardwood floor attachment. For carpets, vacuuming at least once a week is recommended to keep fibers clean and resilient.
Mop with Care: Maintaining clean and hygienic floors requires the right tools and techniques. We recommend using a microfiber mop paired with a neutral pH cleaner spray for hardwood and laminate floors. This method is gentle and effective, ensuring your floors stay in top condition. For tile and stone floors, a sponge mop or a traditional string mop can be used. Always choose a cleaning solution recommended for your specific type of flooring and avoid excessive water to prevent damage.

Protect Floors

Using protective measures can significantly extend the life of your flooring.

Use Mats and Rugs: Placing mats and rugs at entryways and high-traffic areas can help prevent dirt and debris from scratching and damaging your floors. These protective coverings act as the first line of defense, capturing grit and moisture before they reach your flooring.
Furniture Pads: Install furniture pads under the legs of all chairs, tables, and other furniture to prevent scratches and dents. These pads create a buffer between the furniture and the floor, distributing the weight and reducing the risk of damage.
Address Spills and Stains Immediately: Clean spills as soon as they happen to prevent staining and water damage. Use a soft cloth and a mild cleaner suitable for the specific flooring type. For liquids like wine or juice, blot instead of wipe to prevent spreading. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for treating stains, as different flooring types require different cleaning methods.
Control Humidity Levels: Wood floors can expand and contract with changes in humidity. Using a humidifier in dry conditions and a dehumidifier in high humidity can keep floors stable. Ideal indoor humidity levels should be between 30% and 50% to prevent wood from warping or gapping.

Use Appropriate Cleaning Products

Using the best cleaning products for your specific flooring type is key to effective maintenance.

Choose the Right Cleaner: Select a cleaner specifically designed for your type of flooring. Whether you have hardwood, tile, or stone, using the appropriate cleaner will ensure that your floors are properly maintained without causing any damage. For example, hardwood floors benefit from pH-neutral cleaners, while stone floors may require a cleaner that prevents etching.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from cleaners that contain harsh chemicals, such as bleach or ammonia, as these can damage the finish and integrity of your floors. Opt for gentle, pH-balanced cleaners that are safe for your flooring type.

Featured Product: LOBA Floor Care

We recommend LOBA floor care products to maintain the beauty and durability of your floors. These specially formulated products provide gentle yet effective cleaning and maintenance for various types of flooring.

LOBA offers a range of solutions, including cleaners, polishes, and protective coatings tailored to different flooring materials. Discounts are available for first-time users of LOBA products.

Long-Term Maintenance Tips

Regular, long-term maintenance helps preserve the original finish and structural integrity of your floors, keeping them pristine and extending their lifespan.

Refinishing Hardwood Floors in Chandler / Gilbert AZ: Even the best-cared-for hardwood floors can show signs of wear over time. Refinishing every 7-10 years helps to restore their appearance and extend their lifespan. This process involves sanding the surface to remove scratches and dents before applying a fresh finish coat.
Tile and Grout Care: Tiles can become dull, and grout can darken with age. Regularly sealing grout and using a mild cleaner can maintain the look of tile floors. For deep cleaning, professionals use specialized equipment and cleaning solutions to refresh and reseal tiles and grout.

Local Drops 06/11/25 — google

Great experience. Highly recommend.

Glenn Quinn 06/3/25 — google

Footprints did a fantastic job with my tile floors throughout the house. Unfortunately my refrigerator had a few dings after it was moved so they could tile under it. I took pictures and asked what could be done. They took $1000 off the bill and did the research to find me new refrigerator doors. I was so impressed with their professionalism and willingness to get the job right! Thank you!

Andrew Plummer 03/17/25 — google

Footprints is awesome. 2nd time I have used them. Installers are very professional and great attention to detail. Melissa (PM) very responsive. Matt (owner) knows his flooring!

Carmen Bell 03/10/25 — google

Efficient, courteous, very reasonable!

Henry Faccio 02/18/25 — google

I was very pleased with the whole process. Matt, came out we had a unique situation and he gave us some great suggestions and a great price on what we needed done. Melissa, the project manager for our project was on time looked over our project and verified all the items on the contract. Then returned later in the afternoon to make sure we were happy with the project and how it all turned out, which wife and I are very pleased. Antonio, the installer was great, on time as well, he kept us informed of what he was doing and very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I will for sure use Footprints Floors East Valley for any other future projects I have for my floors.

Keith Johnson 02/14/25 — google

Brad Preston 02/4/25 — google

Our experience with Footprint Floors was easy and great from the start. Matt the owner, came out and gave us quote and helped us work out the details. He answered all of our questions and made us feel comfortable! We love our new floors and know we picked the right company for the job!! The removal, crew and installation crews were very polite and cleaned up after themselves. I would recommend Footprint Floors to anybody!!! Roger & Pam

Roger Snow 02/3/25 — google

These folks are great. Work was on time and quality ! Don’t hesitate to use them! I will recommend them to everyone

Matt and Melissa were always so great at following up right away whenever I had questions about our bathroom remodel. The bathroom is complete and looks fantastic. Their team is very professional. The only thing I wish was that I would have had more time to sit with Matt prior to the start of the project to really go over every detail for a more accurate initial estimate. My work schedule made it difficult for me to have that time. The tile work on the flooring and shower looks incredible. I did have to pay additional for an electrician to move and add a couple of electrical components due to an LED mirror/cabinet I wanted hung as that was one detail prior to the start of the project Matt and I had not covered. Also, I picked out a shower head and wand through Amazon that apparently was more difficult to work with than simply going with a standard name brand but the plumber did a great job making it all work. The handyman installed our custom vanity and fixtures that look wonderful. ProSource supplied the tile, materials, and vanity that we are so happy with and they made it so easy to pick out everything we wanted. Thank you Footprints for giving us a new bathroom!!

Tanya Robertson 01/29/25 — google

Everyone did a great job..They arrived on time, work very efficiently. Over all very happy with the experience..

Gail Niziolek 12/26/24 — google

Great experience! Would hire again!

Ben Sparks 12/24/24 — google

Footprints Floors helped me get flooring redone for a house that I am listing for sale. They were able to get in the next week and have everything done by the end of the week just before a short term renter came in to occupy the property. Everything went super smooth, Matt got me an estimate same day and Melissa ensured the project was being handled in a timely manner from start to finish! My client was super happy and the project turned out beautifully. We will definitely be using them again in the future!

Amber Hollien 12/23/24 — google

The wife found Footprints on FB marketplace trying to locate a flooring company that could help us with a remodel. Right off the bat from the beginning everyone we came in contact with was so friendly and knowledgeable and listened to all of our needs for the project. We could not wait to get started. The project is all done and we could not be happier! The whole team, Matt, Melissa, Rueben and his teammate did a phenomenal job. They helped us with scope that we were not sure of how to handle and went above an beyond with every request! We are already discussing the next project and will be using Footprints again! Update 12/20/24 Second round of flooring project completed! Another phenomenal job by Footprints and the whole team. The biggest issue we have is there isn't another project needed to be completed at this time :) if you need something done this is the company to choose!

Juan Romero 12/20/24 — google

Very appreciative that they took on my project. I had water damage in my kitchen, needed the engineered planks replaced and they did a great job. Very professional, showed up on time and went above and beyond to do the job correctly. Thank you!

kandi roeser 11/27/24 — google

The crew was hard working, on-time, consistent and professional. The work turned out wonderfully! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We removed and replaced tile and used Vinyl planks as well. Great company!

Stephanie Walker 11/26/24 — google

I used Footprints Floors and I wanted to give a special thank you to Edgar and his installation team who did a beautiful job with the hardwood floor installation. We chose extra long and wide floors which is extra challenging to install. His team provided excellent customer service and made sure I was 100% satisfied with the work and came back to do touch ups for a few items. We had 2,000 sq ft installed and I love my new floors!

Mandy Anderson 11/22/24 — google

We had Footprints Floors do two rooms for us and we couldn't be happier. They are the "BEST"..Matt was so gracious and helpful to get us what we needed, and the two young men that did the work, "Really excellent workers and just great to have in the house". Melissa also great, kept an eye on the job start to finish also making things run smooth. They were basically in and out two days, we were back to living in our house and loving it!!! Thanks so much to your "TEAM"..

Bob Sommer 10/22/24 — google

100% recommend Footprints and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire them in future. They were a pleasure to work with, very helpful through the process. Everything was cleaned up nicely, they started on time and finished in less time than anticipated. We couldn’t be happier with our new floors, they are beautiful.

Marci Kahrs 10/16/24 — google
