Floor Care Tips in San Antonio, TX

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 San Antonio, TX 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 San Antonio TX: 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

Eduardo and his team were incredible throughout the experience. He was knowledgeable and professional, guiding us through the flooring process every step of the way, and his team did a fantastic job (and got it done ahead of schedule). Would recommend Footprints without a doubt.
Kyle Bandujo 11/15/24 — google
Purchased this home and it already had new floors upstairs. We bought the same floors through Lowes bc they did the original install. Lowes person came out to measure and told me the old floors needed to be torn out. When I asked questions about the product I was told he was just there to measure and we would be sent a quote. Footprints came out and gave us a quote which was great but more importantly read about the flooring product, called the manufacturer and told us it could be done without ripped out old tile bc it was in good shape. Day one was spent grinding down some high spots and doing some leveling. Day two the flooring was installed. Day three was trim work and clean up. We are thrilled with new floors. Call footprints bc you get a great price and their expertise.

I had three contractors come out, one wanted 23k, the others no-showed, then refused to offer a quote or estimate. Eduardo was the most professional contractor I've worked with in years. The tile work is nothing short of absolutley spectacular. Perfect workmanship. Jorge and Jose are craftsman, and made the tile not only look good, but look like it's all original using totally different colors and sizes. Just simply amazing. I just can't recommended them enough.
Colin Buckley 02/23/24 — google
Edwardo was a great communicator, installed the floors as promised and very efficient. He even picked up some materials for me.

The floors are beautiful and the service was extraordinary
Andrew Sansom 12/23/23 — google
We had a backsplash installed in our kitchen. The finished backsplash is more beautiful than my husband or I had imagined it would be. I was very impressed with the owner. He was on time for our initial appointment. He sent us a quote that same evening and scheduled the work to be done the following week. The gentlemen who did the installation were respectful and highly skilled. They worked steadily the entire time they were in our home. The project lasted 2 days because of additional time needed for the glue to dry the first day. Before leaving, they tidied up the work space so we could minimally use the kitchen space until they returned the next morning. The boss rescheduled things the next morning so he could be at our home to supervise the workers. Once again, they cleaned the work space before leaving. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing tile installation. We had bought more tile than we needed but they did not waste tile or other materials. We were amazed at how much tile we had left over. We have been so impressed that we are requesting bids for laying flooring in parts of our home. I have every confidence that this company will do great work at a reasonable price.

Eduardo and his team are conscientious and thorough. Recommend!
David Moraine 12/17/23 — google
These guys went way above and beyond. Have a 2,000sf home that needed tile removed throughout house. It was original tile that I tried to remove. Smacked, whacked, chiseled and couldn’t get up even one tile! These guys worked in the Texas heat (AC had to be turned off due to dust) from sunup to sundown. Cleaned up the house and laid LV flooring. The seams and “wood” pattern were perfect. It has been 2 years and the flooring is solid. I continue to recommend them for a quality install by hardworking, honest gentlemen.
Merrie Schmidt 12/14/23 — google
Eduardo and his team were great! They installed our flooring pretty quickly. However we did find that we had the wrong underlayment after walking through with Eduardo. Eduardo and his team verified with our product's store for the correct underlayment and they redid the flooring. We loved their expertise and helpfulness in understanding the correct items needed for our flooring. We have recommended them to a few of our friends.
Mary Compean 12/14/23 — google
Footprints promised we would fast and reliable construction of our flooring…. And they came through 10 fold! We were speechless of the outcome. We already hired them for our next project.
MIKE C 12/14/23 — google
It was a true pleasure working with Eduardo of Footprints Floors; Eduardos’ professionalism, candor and calm demeanor made it simple for me to choose his company for a wood flooring installation project. Eduardo was very thorough in the explanation of the work to be done, his team was on time and did great work and were very organized, efficient and kept the area very clean during the installation process. I thought selecting and installing wood flooring was a straight to the point project, however there are so many small details from wood selection, to types of flooring to shades and even the look you are trying to achieve. Eduardos expertise took care of a lot of the questions I had. I would definitely recommend Eduardos company and will use them again in the near future.

Edwardo and his team were amazing. They did a great job. I would highly recommend them.
rafael deloera 12/14/23 — google
Eduardo and his team was very very professional. They had great communication, which I really appreciated because I didn’t receive that as I was looking for contractors to do my stairs. They were flexible with the process because we ran into some issues with the product that I had purchased. We even had a switch dates and he was happy to do so, even though it wasted a day of his time. The finished product was exactly what we wanted as well so we couldn’t be happier.
Rachel Wirtz 12/14/23 — google
They did a wonderful job on my floors re-sanding and staining them. I will recommend them to anyone who needs floors done. Very professional and courteous.
Sandra Brown 11/8/23 — google
The most important thing is that we have someone who will do a professional job in a reasonable time frame. Footprints Floors did all of this and were a pleasure to work with. We will certainly use them again and can highly recommend them to others

This is my second project with Eduardo and his team. Both times have been a positive experience and a job well done. I appreciate the attention to detail and understanding of my needs. The team is on time, professional and make every effort to please the client. I will use them again to complete my ongoing project.
Althea 09/14/23 — google
So very happy with our vinyl plank floors that were installed. My husband had started the process in our kitchen, after "You Tubing" the process . But,it was taking a long while, as we forgot we are not young things anymore! So, we had footprints come in to complete the job, and wish we'd used them sooner!! The two rooms were done expertly and quick. They absolutely amazing and we love them. We had purchased the flooring at Costco and were fortunate to catch it on sale too! The floor needed leveling and we wouldn't have known had we forged forward without getting the professionals in!. Edwardo was very responsive to communication and having dealt with previous contractors on other home projects this is a premium quality. We got several quotes, but we just really liked the Edwardo, and Herman who actually did the work was excellent! And quick!! They helped us move some furniture so that was very kind, and cleaned up with great precision. We will be using again for our other rooms!
Michelle Anderson 08/29/23 — google
Eduardo was quick to provide a quote and very competitive. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and they made every effort to minimize the mess from removing the old flooring. No hesitation in recommending Footprints for your flooring needs
John Walter 07/27/23 — google
I am so glad I picked Footprint Floors to do my stairs and loft remodel. Eduardo was timely, very professional and his team member always arrived on time and did the project in 2 days. It came out looking wonderful. I would highly recommend using this local small business for your project needs! Very pleasant, fast, good quality! Thank you Eduardo. Adrian
Aga Guzik 04/30/23 — google
I was very impressed from start to finish with Eduardo and his team. Very professional and high quality work. The guys were very nice and kind and left the work area clean. The new shower install is beautiful and I’m already excited to have them come back and install floors. Great work and I will use again. I highly recommend. Thanks!
