Floor Care Tips in Omaha, NE

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 Omaha, NE 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 Omaha NE: 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

First, Brandon responded to our inquiry promptly and was always responsive via text or email. We had a huge project: In an existing, 80-year-old home, level the floor and replace 700 square feet of vinyl plank flooring in the basement with ceramic tile; refinish several hundred feet of *really* beat up hardwood floors on the main; and demo/install 200 square feet of new tile in the kitchen. Brandon was honest and up front about our options, price considerations, deliverable timeframes, and owner costs/responsibilities. He required us to do an asbestos test, which was actually comforting and a reflection of the overall professionalism of the company. He contacted other industry representatives to ensure he was utilizing best practices/meeting minimum code requirements. The total completion of work took about a month. Partially due to availability of the crews, and partially just the scope of the work.. They spent a week on each of the separate project phases. That felt a little long, but it is hard to argue with the quality of the work. The crews were all professional, easy to communicate with, and responsive. We strongly recommend and have already referred other potential customers to FF. When we have future flooring projects to take on, will be utilizing Footprint Floors exclusively.

Brandon was in my area on a Saturday and offered to come look at my floors so I didn't have to wait until the following week. Half of our basement was carpeted and the other half was unfinished. Ultimately we ended up going with carpet because of foundation issues but Brandon was extremely knowledgeable and provided great advice on what would need to be done for flooring. He was very transparent and honest about not cutting corners just to get the business. We'll definitely be giving Brandon a call when we remodel our floors on the main level.
Ryan Pitkin 08/21/24 — google
Brandon and his team did an excellent job on our engineered wood flooring install. The craftsmanship is fantastic, and they accommodated my request for flush transitions, which was very important to me. Brandon took the time to ensure he was meeting all of the manufacturers specifications for the flooring install, and explained to us the advantages/disadvantages of the various installation methods allowed. He communicated well throughout the entire process, and was always on time for appointments. Additionally, he's just a really nice guy, and someone we felt very comfortable with having in our home. For example, when he was stopping by to pick something up one day, he noticed we had a large package delivered and offered to help carry it up into our house. We will definitely hire Footprints Omaha for any future work we have, and recommend them to friends and family.

Brandon and his crew did an excellent job. Our hardwood floors were extensively damaged. Brandon was able to adjust schedules to get our floors totally refinished to our liking. The crew was hard working, always on time, and very professional. We are so impressed with Brandon, his crew, the company, and the amazing workmanship. We would use them again and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone
Kevin Borcher 06/7/24 — google
From start to finish, those with Footprints Floors were exceptionally friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Their task was to tear out carpeting and lay vinyl flooring, including ¼ rounds and transition pieces on about 1,500 sq ft. It was done beautifully, and incredibly, in just over 4 days. I would recommend them to my friends in a New York minute.

Brandon & Aiden were a pleasure to work with. Both of them are very pleasant and professional. I had a vision and Aiden knew exactly what needed to be done make that vision come true and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

5 stars x 100!!! Brandon and his team were phenomenal. These gentlemen are the most professional contractors that I have had the pleasure to do business with. A small section of our floor had suffered some water damage. Brandon and his team came in, met with my wife and I, and addressed the issue in no time. He and his team were punctual (rare nowadays) and timely. His communication was outstanding. He said what he meant and he meant what he said. Our house was left very clean and everything was in order. Brandon will be our go-to person for future hardwood floor initiatives. Thank you Foot Prints. Glad to have met you and your team.

Oh man! From start to finish, Footprints Floors was incredible! A cleaning company super effed up our floors with chemical and Footprints saved the day. Brandon, the sales rep, was so helpful and professional to work with. He was honest, provided his professional opinion, and was very respectful. Raul, who did the work, was equally professional, respectful, and very efficient. The floors came out amazing and I learned a lot in the process as they explained every step. I am so happy we chose Footprints Floors for our floor-needs and will 100% be using them for any future project and highly recommend them to any one considering a floor project.

From start to finish it was a great experience. They refinished our existing hardwood floors. The crew was obviously an above and beyond type crew; minimizing the mess, maintaining excellent communication throughout the job & giving advice. We are so impressed with the outcome that we turned around and immediately contacted them to come back and put hardwood on our stairs. You can't go wrong with this company.
