Floor Care Tips in Sacramento, CA

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 Sacramento, CA 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 Sacramento CA: 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

We worked with Jordan throughout our project. He was incredibly responsive and helpful when scoping the project. We couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out. High recommend working with Footprints!
Perry Williams 10/30/24 — google
When making a choice to refinish our ash floors i requested estimates from three companies. I was very impressed with Grants prompt response in coming out to the house and his professionalism throughout the quoting process. The quote was fair and concise in what we wanted including seeing multiple samples of sealers in order to have the finish we wanted. The job was completed beautifullly and in a timely fashion by Juan, Angel & Ivan. James, our Project Manager was there to do the final walk through and fix any of the areas we had concerns with. We appreciated his efforts to complete the job to our satisfaction. We had high expectations and had been in remodel mode for over 3 months which made for a customer who had a bit of exhaustion with contractors. I commend James for listening, explaining things and wanting to make the floors right & the project experience the best it could be! I would highly recommend Footprint Flooring for your project.✨️👍
Rachelle Moschetti 10/20/24 — google
Grant came to give me a quote on my hard wood floors. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and transparent which I appreciate! Had a quote over to me shortly after his visit and the pricing is reasonable. Will definitely be using them for my floor repairs :)

Thank you so much for all the help from Jordan and everyone at Footprints floors. My new floors are beautiful, and I received excellent service from Jordan and Scott.
Elisabeth Wolfert 09/24/24 — google
We had a wonderful experience with Footprints Floors. Jordan was truly friendly and helpful showing us the flooring options and explaning the product to us so that we made the right choice. And at the time of install, James the field manager made sure everything was explained to us and was resdy for the install crew to do their work. Ricardo and Joe then did an expert efficient and outstanding job laying our laminate composit flooring. I highly recommend Footprint Floors to anyone interested in installing such an outstanding product. Now we have a dog proof kid proof besutiful floor!

I can’t tell you how HAPPY we are with our floors! James, Todd, and Ivan’s guys were able to get the perfect color out of old, ugly, beaten up wood floors and perfectly matched it with the new floors added.
Colby Zeiser 09/13/24 — google
I am so happy with the care, service and product from Footprints! From beginning to end, communication, measuring, help w choosing product and answering my 1000’s of questions was unmatched. Jordan is phenomenal and I could not and wouldn’t have done this process without him. Jordan had been recommended by a friend who also raved about him. I would do more home improvement projects if there were more Jordans in the world. My floors turned out absolutely beautiful and Jordan really helped me to determine what flooring would be best for my needs and I am so happy with my choice. A shout out to Marcus and the install team for all their hard work and craftsmanship.
Stephanie Hale 09/13/24 — google
The quote was very good. The workers were extremely quick and efficient. I would use them again if I needed them.
Steve Frazier 09/11/24 — google
I have used footprints floors twice after having them recommended to me by a friend. I’m so very pleased with my floors after they’re finished. Freddy was my technician this time and did an amazing job refinishing, staining and varnishing the floor. He was efficient, speedy while maintaining quality work. He cleaned up everyday and there was very little dust even though he had to do a lot of sanding. James followed up after Freddy had finished and answered all my questions. If I need any work done on my floors I will be calling this company again
Michelle Dame 09/10/24 — google
I contacted Scott Campbell of Footprints Floors through Angi’s List. I was determined to obtain five bids at least before I made any decision. I wanted to have my main bath converted from a bathtub to a shower. Scott gave me a very reasonable bid and his presentation included many choices pertaining to labor and material. My choice of contractors was an easy one and I give the highest praise to Scott, his foreman Marcus and his entire crew. The workmanship was excellent and communication was outstanding. I would recommend them in a heartbeat and use them again.
Linda Heyburn 08/22/24 — google
I went through a bit of a journey with these guys. Overall, they are great, but they got burned a bit by one of their contractors who didn't do a great job on part of my installation. It's uncomfortable telling a vendor that the quality of the work is not right, but they agreed, re-ordered materials, put a different crew on the job, and made it all right in the end. These things happen, part of life, whats important is that it was rectified in the end. They're good people with a good business and in the end I'd recommend them and will return to them for my next job.
Stephen Hodgetts 08/21/24 — google
Footprints did an INCREDIBLE job for us at our new place. Floors are like new! On top of that I shopped this job around to probably five local places and footprints price made it such an easy decision. Travis the project manager was super helpful through out and Freddie, who actually did the floor, was professional, helpful and an absolute craftsman. Jordan the sales guy was accurate in his quote, fast in his responses and great to work with
Nathan Leibowitz 08/15/24 — google
Jesse and his team are phenomenal to work with. Customer happiness is their top priority and I would gladly recommend them to others.
Kyle Jacobson 08/8/24 — google
Really excellent company to work with! I always get a call back within a day of leaving them a message. Very prompt with texts and emails as well. They did a great job of replacing my tile kitchen floor in just under three days. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone and would work with them again.
Rebecca 07/27/24 — google
Was so awesome to work with Footprints! Our shower looks amazing and their attention to detail was fantastic. They are super responsive and wanted to make sure I was 100% happy. Everything felt seamless, even when we had a few unexpected things happen with the tub install (done by a different company). Grant, James, and Saul are the best!
Kristina Funck 07/24/24 — google
We had our floors done by them and they repaired the floors when we had our sewer replaced. Great work from these guys.
