Floor Care Tips in Colorado Springs, CO

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 Colorado Springs, CO 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 Colorado Springs CO: 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

Mark came out same day to evaluate the work area. He explained everything that needed to be done and answered all my questions. The price was the best around town. He then booked me for two days after our conversation. Pedro and Angel came on time and I was quoted 830am-4pm and they were done at 1130am. Their work was professional and super quick. They even saved me 4 boxes of material so I can get some money back. They cleaned up their work and were awesome. I would recommend Footprints 10/10 times.

My experience with my Footprints Floors was far beyond my expectations. I have never been treated with such warmth and friendly conversations. I was given so much that it far exceeded my expectations. It will help so many families in the future it is beyond my imagination. I can not express my gratitude enough for all that they have given. It was far beyond my wildest dreams. I may even do some buildings of cutting boards with some of the scrap materials myself for future if I have the time. These are really great people and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a company that needs flooring. They are very good and completely committed to their craft. You would be satisfied with their work and the products you have chosen.

Mark and his team are outstanding! For the past 18 years, Mark has been our go-to hardwood flooring professional. He initially finished our entire main floor, then completed our upstairs loft and hallway. Most recently, we’ve been replacing the carpet in our upstairs bedrooms with hardwood, and the results are amazing. Mark is a genuine person who provides top-notch customer service. His pricing is affordable, and his crew members are always respectful and considerate. As a perfectionist, I have high standards, and I couldn’t be more pleased with their work. I highly recommend Footprints Floors!

I recently started home renovations, and flooring was a big project. My floors had been covered with carpet for over a decade, and I initially planned to install new hardwood—until I discovered hardwood underneath! Thankfully, it wasn’t as bad as I feared, but I still wanted a professional opinion. Footprints Floors gave me an honest recommendation—no upselling, just expert advice on restoring my floors. From my first call, I was impressed. They were professional, friendly, and made scheduling easy. Their pricing was competitive, but what really stood out was their passion and customer service. They fit me in for a same-day consultation, explained the process thoroughly, and made sure I felt confident in my decision. Not only was their work outstanding, but they were also incredibly timely. They got the job done fast without cutting corners, and the results were amazing. From start to finish, everything—communication, craftsmanship, and payment—was seamless. The results? I was FLOORED! My refinished hardwood looks incredible, and I couldn’t be happier. I definitely WOOD recommend Footprints Floors to anyone looking for top-notch flooring services!

We has three rooms refloored with bamboo. Mark and his team did a truly beautiful job. They took extra care to make our transitions beautiful and smooth in our 100+ year old home. They were spot on time and left thongs spotless. I'm happy to recommend them to anyone.

We are very satisfied with the work from Footprints Floors. From estimate to finish, it was easy, convenient, and the results showed that they cared about doing a great job.

My experience with Footprints Floors Colorado Springs was exceptional from start to finish. I couldn’t be happier with my refinished hardwood floors and the great customer service I received. Mark impressed me with his expertise and attentive communication. Pedro and Angel are very nice and professional young men. Their attention to detail and overall quality of work is remarkable. I had a difficult time deciding on a stain. I was trying to achieve a natural raw wood look, and the initial options were not working. Mark and Pedro were so nice and patient with me as I was researching online for other stain options. When I found one that looked like it could work, within a hour they were able to find a local store that carried the product, and stopped what they were doing to pick it up. The sample looked great, and we moved forward with it. The end result was better than I imagined. The floors are stunning! I highly recommend Footprints Floors Colorado Springs to anyone needing a flooring project done right! I will be using them for all my future flooring needs:) I included a few before and after pictures, which speak for themselves.

We recently hired Footprint Floors to do our hallway. It took us a year before we located the right wood flooring. However, Jesse kept in touch and scheduled the work, within our time frame. Travis Bailey was the technical person on the project and jointly with his contractor Luis, did a professional job, that we couldn't be more proud of. Kudos to the team!
Anil Pinto 07/24/24 — google

Mark was so great with our estimate visit. He was honest about what he could do the change our scratched floors and how much it would cost. Really appreciated his transparency around what was possible, instead of just trying to close the deal. Would recommend!!
Christina Higham 05/24/24 — google
Imagine buying a nearly $1M house and the discovering when moving in that there are big scratches in the wood flooring from furniture being moved out and dull shadows where large area rugs had been. Called Footprints hoping for expert flooring advice and options to restore the wood finish. Mark carefully evaluated the problems and explained that due to the ridges in the hand scraped flooring, that screening or buffing were not options since the flooring was not smooth and flat. Even though Footprints could not provide restoration services, Mark spent several minutes with me discussing DYI cleaning and other possible options that might improve the appearance of the flooring. Very friendly, professional, and considerate - rare qualities in service providers. Would not hesitate to work with Mark and Footprints flooring.
Douglas Cook 05/16/24 — google
Footprints Floors did an excellent job re-sanding our existing floors and extending them into the kitchen. Looks like it has always been there. Mark was very professional and easy to communicate with. He worked with us on our schedule and was very patient. Will absolutely recommend using them and I certainly will when we get ready for our next floor project.
annette kohnert 04/10/24 — google
Mark and his team do a nice job. We’ve used them twice at two different homes & highly recommend them.
B Walker 04/3/24 — google
This company was amazing. From the work they did, to the customer service. They outbid a friend's contractor who they were sure would be the best rate. I can not say enough positive things about this company. They have integrity, work ethic and quality craftsmanship. Will never go anywhere else!!!
Amber Bhatt 03/13/24 — google
I am very pleased with the work that was performed. Mark did an excellent job outlining the work process while providing the quote. Zach did an excellent job installing the floor and worked non stop until completion. I would not hesitate to use Footprints Flooring.
Brian Arndt 03/8/24 — google
Went with another company at first that took significantly longer, and did an awful job. I then gave Footprint Floors a call and it was a world of difference. Mark was extremely helpful in answering any questions I had. Pedro, and Angel were extremely friendly and efficient. It only took them a day and a half to refinish my entire upstairs floor. I will alway use Footprint Floors for any work I need done in the future.
