Floor Care Tips in Kansas City, KS

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 Kansas City, KS 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.

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 Kansas City KS: 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.

Courtney O'Connor 08/26/24 — google
Footprints did an excellent job installing Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring for a home remodel. The floors look beautiful! I highly recommend their services if you are looking for a reputable floor installer.

We love our new floors. Everyone did a great job !
Susan Watterson 08/26/24 — google
I hired Footprints to retile my fireplace hearth. I can't recommend Dan and Footprints enough. They were timely, friendly, cleaned up after themselves and communicated well the whole time. Additionally, the quality they delivered was beyond expectation. I would not hesitate to work with them again.
Anne Schmitz 08/16/24 — google
Professional from start to finish! Very happy with the service and communication. No hidden surprises with this company.
Natalie Suttmoeller 08/3/24 — google
These guys did a phenomenal job tiling my entire basement. They were communicative throughout the entire project keeping me posted on progress and updating me along the way. They were transparent with the pricing and my options and were flexible to help keep things moving forward. I was traveling for two weeks out of the country and trusted them to come and go from my home and they took pics to send me and of course updated me frequently. Highly recommend!
Shawn S 07/30/24 — google
We absolutely love our refinished hardwood floors! Dan did an excellent job with answering all our questions before the project was started. Any time I contacted him, he always returned my calls and answered my texts right away. Jonathan, our project manager, always texted us to provide updates as the work progressed. Leo and his crew worked hard to complete the process in a timely manner. We also had Footprints Floors install porcelain tile in our laundry room and an upstairs bathroom. Juan did an excellent job and is a true professional! We are so pleased with how the tile floors look in both rooms! We would definitely use Footprints Floors for any future work. Everyone we encountered was friendly, professional, and so helpful with everything we asked them to do!
Jeanne Stannard 07/20/24 — google
I had Footprints Floors give me a bid on hard wood throughout my house. They did a great job. I received a high quality product which was installed by superior craftsmen. Dan, the owner of Footprints Floors , was communicative and involved during the process. The new floors are beautiful! I can honestly say that I received what I expected and more. I am very happy. I highly recommend Footprints Floors! Give them a call .
Larry Quick 07/19/24 — google
Great results! Dan. Jonathan. Leo did a great job of communicating with us. Leo went out of his way to make sure I was happy with every move from sanding to stain.
Diane Foster 07/19/24 — google
Jonathan, Juan, and the Footprints crew did an outstanding job of replacing the tile on our front entryway. My father, who had a long career biding construction jobs, had estimated what the job would cost. We were pleasantly surprised when the bid came in several hundred dollars lower than our expected cost. Several of our neighbors have already been over and told us how great the new tile looks!
Marc Hill 07/18/24 — google
Responsive! Dan came in, looked at what I was trying to accomplish and found solutions! His workers were excellent.
Buddy Cat 06/4/24 — google
I’ll start by saying that I’m very happy with our new floors and would hire Footprint Floors again in the future. Cons: Initially I was going to give 4 out of 5 stars for two reasons. 1) I think having some reviews that are not perfect is helpful. Too many 100% 5 star reviews can look fake. After the job was completed and I did a walkthrough with Jonathan he asked if I was willing to review them on google and later texted me a link to make reviewing easier. I doubt if there was tension or any sense of dissatisfaction he would not have offered that. This is slightly manipulating the reviews they get on google but it is also the game business have to play in the age of internet marketing. 2) The first coat of hardwood finish was applied a day earlier than expected. This normally wouldn’t be a problem but it was applied very late in the evening and we returned to the house after dinner to find out that we couldn’t stay the night there as we had planned. More of a heads up about this would be appreciated. Pros (Great Service!): Having a project manager who introduced himself at the start of the project, was very helpful. Jonathan shared his phone number and email so we could ask questions about the project whenever we had them. We did have a few issues that came up as things often do during construction. What sets Footprint Floors apart is how they handled these situations. How you fix mistakes is more important to me than avoiding them. 1) During our initial quote there was a misunderstanding about the type of vent covers we wanted. The order had “Drop-In” vents while we wanted “Flush” vents. This was probably a terminology mistake on the part of my Wife and I. But after the first day of construction I noticed the mistake. Jonathan had the team come back to the house to do additional work to install the flush vent covers. This was needed so we wouldn’t get behind on schedule. There was no finger pointing about the mistake, or adjustments to the budget for the correction. 2) After Completing work we found a few cracked floor tiles in our bathroom on the edge of the hardwood floor. Footprint floors came back a few days later to replace the broken tiles and it looks good as new again. 3) Two weeks after work was completed and paid for, we noticed a board in the middle of our living room starting to swell up on the edges. (looked almost like water damage). We reached out and they scheduled someone to come out the next morning to fix it up at no additional cost. Leo (the person doing the repair) told us that it was likely a bad board. Photos - Living Room (After all flooring complete) - Living Room (After new boards installed before sanding/finish) - Broken bathroom tiles (before fix) - Repaired living room floor (after repair, still drying, actual damaged area was about 12 inches long. It is slightly darker in the middle of the taped area)

The quality, value, and professionalism from this company is amazing. Dan responded immediately to my request and met that same day. Him and his friendly staff kept me in the loop through the whole process. The floors were in such bad shape I wasn’t sure they could be brought back to life but they proved me wrong. I would highly recommend this company. Included a before and after of one of my bedrooms. I chose a dark walnut stain. Thank you so much Dan and team!!
Joe Knipp 04/17/24 — google
They were efficient, professional, and did a great job with our basement floors!
Natalie Block 04/3/24 — google
Dan and his staff were very easy to work with. Our bathroom floor project made a huge difference in the appearance of our home. Dan made sure that the work was done to our satisfaction.
Marty Wygas 04/3/24 — google
My wife and I are absolutely thrilled with our new floors. We had most of the floors on our main level replaced with hardwoods and some laminate in the basement replaced with tiling, and both were beautifully done. Our house feels completely different after this huge upgrade. Footprints Floors was significantly more affordable and reasonably priced than the other quote we got with a big company. The price they quoted for our hardwoods was the same that we were quoted for vinyl plank at the other company (and the other company claimed that their price was 50% off). Footprints also spared the videos and gimmicks when they came to provide an estimate. The owner, Dan (and not a salesman) came to our home, and he was very honest and forthright about project costs. Jonathan (our project manager) and Dan were both very responsive to our many questions and were very patient. They sent team members to our home each day to address our minor concerns/comments towards the end of the project. At the end, they did a final walk through to ensure all our concerns were addressed. Overall, Footprints exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with our floors. The pricing was more than fair, and the team was very communicative and professional. Thank you again!

Everyone was great to work with, and the floors are beautiful. No complaints!
Amber Randel 03/19/24 — google
I want to share the amazing experience we had with Dan and his Footprints team. We had a new construction home and I found Dan and Footprints to do the tile work. They did such an amazing job, I wish I would have found them sooner so that they could have done our hardwood floors as well! With Dan and his team we had multiple meetings, they asked questions, and gave us options throughout the entire process. Because of this, we were all on the same page and there were no surprises in what they had to do and what I wanted them to do. Dan offered his professional opinion when appropriate and was transparent about pricing and cost at all times. I cannot say enough how much appreciate the quality work and professionalism that comes with Dan and his team. The tile work is beautiful. It’s not often you can say that a contractor is top notch in communication, honesty, and quality work, but Dan and his team are that and more. 5 star PLUS in my opinion. I would recommend them to friends and family and should I need future flooring work, I will be call Dan again without a doubt.

The installers did a fantastic job repairing a broken kitchen tile where the original installers just placed tile over an open floor vent hole. They made sure they did the job right and properly covered the vent and installed new tile. Would certainly use them again AND refer them. Great work!!
