Floor Care Tips in Wayne / Morristown, NJ

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 Wayne / Morristown, NJ 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 Wayne / Morristown NJ: 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.

Loved working with them! The owner is very responsive and helpful. I was able to compare several quotes, and Footprints was very affordable with what ended up being amazing service. Would definitely recommend!

Brian from Footprints Floors was very professional and informative. My wood floors came out better than expected. The installation was quick and clean. I would suggest using them for your next flooring need.
Kenneth Riola 09/7/24 — google
Footprint Flooring did a fabulous job on our kitchen floor, we were so happy we had them come back to do our backsplash! I can’t begin to say enough about Brian. He was very responsive, flexible, and helpful throughout the whole process. Brian, and his workers, have one goal in mind…. ensuring that the customer is happy with the job done. The work was done quickly, and correctly. We plan on using them again for a third project in the future!

They were punctual. Crew did great work sanding and refinishing my floor. They cleaned up afterwards. Pleasure to do business with.
John P 08/9/24 — google
Brian was a pleasure to work with; always answered my texts/calls promptly. I was concerned about sanding my old engineered wood floors, which several other companies told me couldn't be done, but Footprints knew exactly how to do it. My floors look great!
Deanne Boorman 08/2/24 — google
Did a fantastic job with my floors at a great price.
Chris Ehrhardt 08/2/24 — google
I hired Footprints Floors for my Master bathroom shower upgrade. Brian was responsive from day 1 and willing to help on tile selection, raw material and other stuff we needed for the project. He constantly kept me in loop with project status as this was a rental property. He also built good rapport with my tenant. The project completed on time and turned out to be better than my expectation. Would highly recommend Brian and his team to consider him for your home improvements.

Brian and his team from Footprints Floors were amazing. We had the hardwood in our home sanded and refinished. We also installed LVP in our kitchen. They completed the job right on time and it came out great!

Brian was a great communicator, had a competitive price, and did the work as promised and in a timely fashion. We had a great experience working with him!
Payton MacDonald 05/8/24 — google
Footprints did an amazing job restoring our stair case, hallway and two rooms. Brian's experience and communication from quote to finished job helped us understand the work required and is why we had such a good overall experience. His team was on time, courteous and respectful of our home. Thank You.

We are thrilled with our sunroom floor. Brian and his team are very professional, kept the site tidy, started and finished on time and most importantly, delivered a beautiful finished product.
Theresa Dijkstra 03/18/24 — google
Best flooring company around. Did excellent work. Highly recommend them.
Jill Ashley 02/29/24 — google
I am absolutely thrilled with my floor refinishing by FOOTPRINTS FLOORS. The owner, Brian Stack, was always available to answer my questions. His estimate was fair, and the crew were wonderful. They always arrived on time, dust was minimal, and they cleaned up when finished. I added a few extras, and Brian always explained this. I chose special walnut by Duraseal on my red oak floors, perfect stain color between light and dark.
colleen murphy 02/20/24 — google
Helpful, friendly and quality work. Our job was probably smaller than most they do, but they took just as much care with ours as any larger one. Great to work with and very informative. I’m very happy with the work done.
Linda DeLeo 02/10/24 — google
Footprints did a small re-tiling job in my basement (I agreed to put back the baseboards after they finished). Prior to them, I had called a bunch of people who said things like "tile over concrete?", "what is a membrane?", and "oh, I was just going to go over the existing tile", so I was getting kind of desperate by the time I found them. From the moment I spoke to them, I knew I had found my flooring pro - Brian came in with a wealth of knowledge and experience about how to lay the tile out, crack prevention, liquid vs sheet membranes, leveling, pattern, grout and mortar type, trim, and on and on. When people are that passionate about their craft, you just know it's going to come out stellar. And it did! Max did a great job putting it all down. The floor is flat enough to roll a marble over, the grout joints are all perfectly even and uniform in color, the pattern they found (I never would have thought to use a 1/3 alternating pattern on my own) really shows off the veining in the tile, and everything is impeccably laid out. The installer was extremely punctual, friendly, and professional. The cost was quite reasonable, only about $100 more than the people I was dealing with earlier. The outcome was certainly worth it! The only thing I would have hoped for is more cleanup around the area of the tile saw after the job was done. It left behind a lot of dust coating the entire garage, enough that we still track it all over the driveway just by walking in and out. But that's a minor thing on an otherwise perfect job. Would use again in a flash!

I had Footprints Floors refinish my stairs this Fall and I could not be happier with the result. They were quick but very thorough and were able to match my existing floors nicely. I reached out to a few companies and received higher quotes with awful customer service so I am pleased that I decided to do business here.
Desirae Cambrelen 01/1/24 — google
I could not have had a better experience. I had reached out to Empire Today and Smart Carpet before reaching out to Brian and I am so glad that I did. While the other companies had been noticeably late to the appointment, Brian actually arrived 15 minutes early and took the time to explain how the project would move forward and explained to me, each part of the process. He answered all of my questions and I am so glad with the end result.
Sagar Patel 11/7/23 — google
Had a floor resurfacing and staining done by Brian at Footprints. He and his team were incredibly professional. Quoted at a reasonable price and they completed the project in no time at all. Looks like brand new wood floors after they were done! I will definitely be recommending Brian and his team to anyone I know.
Chris Johnsen 09/27/23 — google
Great Experience - We recently had the pleasure of working with Brian for the installation of new flooring in our home, and we were absolutely thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was efficient, and exceeded our expectations. Throughout the project, Brian maintained excellent communication, keeping us informed of progress and addressing any questions or concerns we had. He demonstrated to be the consummate professional and expert. We highly recommend Footprints Floors!
