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.

What Our Customers Say

I had Footprints Floors install tile in my master bedroom, and they did an amazing job! Their attention to detail was impressive, and the final result looks fantastic. The pricing was very reasonable, and their customer service was great throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Krista Larsen-Salih 09/9/24 — google

I could not be happier with Footprints! Having 4 dogs, my bedroom carpet was a horrible disaster. I found tile that matched the rest of my house, and Footprints installed it. The installer (I wish I had written down his name) was incredible! I tried to keep my 4 dogs outside, but they weren't having it. The installer told me to let them in, he would be fine. And sure enough, my dogs made a new best friend (one tried to leave with him on the first day). My project started on a Monday morning, and by Tuesday afternoon, the whole room was done and grouted. It looks fantastic! They were upfront on pricing and very clean. Will definitely use them again, and recommend them for sure!

Matt available throughout our project. Great communication and guidance on material needed. Shout out to Junior and his sidekick that installed LVP flooring. Talented young crew that have obviously laid this type of flooring. Footprints bid came in a little higher, but after talking with them I knew the project would be completed properly - they didn't disappoint. A big shout out to Rueben, very professional and knowledgeable of his trade.

Carlos Frijo 08/23/24 — google

The Footprints team were amazing! I needed new flooring in bedroom, kitchen and repairs to wood flooring and kitchen backsplash. Melissa kept the project moving, their crew were efficient and had a crew of specialists for each part of the project. They are the real heroes of this story, they were all nice, efficient, showed up on time and did good work! I was most worried about how they’d repair/replace the damage so it blends with the rest of the flooring. I only wish I did it sooner. I have my home back! Thank you Matt, Melissa and Footprints team!

Great work and service. My back splash looks perfect.

Matt, Melissa, Edgar and the entire team at Footprints Floors were awesome. From the minute I submitted a webform with interest to today when I made my final payment, they were responsive, considerate, easy to work with, listened to and understood what we were really hoping to achieve, and DELIVERED! Every time we walk in the doors to our home and see our new stairs we take a deep breath and relax knowing they are beautiful, protected, and done with high quality materials and craftsmanship. They were able to match (as closely as can be expected) the stain of the real wood to our LVP flooring throughout the rest of the home. I even called them back to ask if they could fix a few things that seemed like small misses, but would have bothered me daily, and they didn't hesitate - Edgar even came out on a Saturday morning to button things up. Price was fair - work is outstanding - experience is 5-star! Than you!!

We found Footprints Floors through a Google search. We did their online free estimate request and was promptly contacted through a text to set up an appointment. Matt came within two days, sent a proposal within another two days, and was able to start the work within another week. We chose Footprint Floors to do a kitchen backsplash to upgrade our kitchen. The night before the project start date we received a text from Melissa, who was assigned to be the manager for the project. She detailed what to expect the next day. The day of the project, Matt introduced us to Fernando and his son, who did the work. Melissa, came later in the day to check on the progress and to see if Fernando needed anything. Fernando and his son were professional, took great care to protect the surrounding areas, did precise work, and cleaned up almost without a trace, inside and outside. We highly recommend giving Footprints Floors your consideration for your next project.

Chadwick Family 06/11/24 — google

The Footprints Team once again did an amazing job for us. LVP, ceramic tile and new baseboards gave our rooms the refresh we were looking for!

Laura Fiemann 06/3/24 — google

Excellent work and great communication along the way. From the time I reached out the job was completed with a few weeks. Highly Recommend.

Chad DePaoli 05/21/24 — google

We used footprints for a whole home install of luxury vinyl plank flooring and baseboards. We had some repairs that needed to be done over a year later due to a manufacturers defect. They arrived promptly, did a great job and cleaned up. A great experience and we highly recommend them!! Thank you!

Derrick 05/16/24 — google

After getting the run around from several other flooring companies, Matt and Footprints Floors came through! Their company was prompt to respond, regular updates, installers were ontime and focused on doing a quality job. I would highly recommend Footprints Floors for all your flooring needs! Thanks to Matt, Stephanie, and your crew for an excellent job! Look forward to future business opportunities!

Larry Dexter 04/24/24 — google

I can't say enough about this team! We were met with a professional and upbeat attitude by the owner. Matt accommodated us with a last minute visit to get measurements and give us an estimate. We were looking to expedite this project to get it done before we had to move in. We got a great product and excellent craftsmanship in less than a weeks time. We are grateful for this service. The extra special touch was the visit and message after the project was complete to ensure we were satisfied. Look no where else! Footprints Floors!

Jeff West 04/15/24 — google

Very professional and did a great job

Mark Henderson 04/12/24 — google

I had Footprints Flooring do our living room area and I couldn’t be happier. We had some damage done to our carpet from our pups and Matt came by to take measurements and set up a time for the new flooring to be put in. He was super friendly and helpful. It took them about 8 hours to do the whole area and it looks fantastic! They checked in a few days later to make sure everything was what we wanted. I appreciate the constant communication and quick install. Highly recommend Footprints!

Jamie Vieira 04/9/24 — google

This team was incredible! We needed flooring work to be done quickly; some fixes in order to close on the sale of our home and Matt Gilstrap and team pulled through BIG time! Very responsive and the work done was perfection! The flooring in our bathroom turned out beautifully and was completed quickly. I highly recommend this business 100% for your flooring needs.

Jamie Edkins 03/24/24 — google

My son's room desperately needed an update, and the flooring was no exception with 28 year old original carpeting. We had the chance to use Footprints Floors to upgrade to LVP, and we could not have been happier with our experience! Matt and his team of professionals communicated with us every step of the way, and the whole process was so quick and painless. I highly recommend Footprints Floors East Valley and will use their services again in the future!

Alyssa Bonar 03/20/24 — google

This is a great company! Matt is very responsive to your calls. His estimates are easy to understand. The prices for labor wasn’t as high as other estimates. The work was done swiftly. The workers were happy, worked hard everyday and cleaned up. The work was done in a professional expectation. The project manager Melissa was on the ball to ensure everything was running smoothly. I recommend this company for all your tile work. Below is before during and afterwards.

Sharon Milite 03/8/24 — google

Awesome experience with Footprint. We replaced our entire downstairs flooring along with the stairs with LVP. Their crews did an excellent job with the demo with dustless tile removal. They even removed our nook and some cabinets when we asked. The flooring came out incredible and we would absolutely recommend them.

Klint McInturff 03/2/24 — 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!
