Care Guides

Keep Your Home Looking Brand New

🪵

Hardwood Floor Care

✓ Sweep or dust mop daily to remove grit that scratches the finish
✓ Use only hardwood-approved cleaner — never water, steam or vinegar
✓ Place felt pads under all furniture legs
✓ Keep humidity between 35-55% — Mississippi summers stress hardwood
✓ Wipe spills immediately — standing water is hardwood's enemy
✓ Refinish every 7-10 years to restore beauty and protect the wood

💧

Luxury Vinyl & Laminate Care

✓ Sweep or vacuum regularly — grit is the main cause of scratches
✓ Damp mop with pH-neutral cleaner — never soap-based products
✓ Do not steam clean — even waterproof LVP can be damaged by steam
✓ Use doormats at entries to capture dirt and moisture
✓ Avoid rubber-backed mats — they can stain vinyl over time
✓ Protect from direct sunlight with UV-filtering window treatments

🏡

Carpet Care & Maintenance

✓ Vacuum at least twice a week in high-traffic areas
✓ Blot spills immediately — never rub, which spreads the stain
✓ Use barrier mats at all exterior doors
✓ Professional deep clean every 12-18 months extends life significantly
✓ Rotate furniture periodically to distribute wear patterns
✓ Use carpet protector spray after installation and after each cleaning

🏠

Annual Roof Maintenance

✓ Inspect attic twice a year for signs of water staining or daylight
✓ Clean gutters every fall and after major storms
✓ Keep tree branches trimmed 10 feet away from the roof
✓ After any severe storm, call us for a free inspection — don't wait
✓ Check flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights annually
✓ Schedule a professional inspection every 3-5 years even if no issues

🍳

Kitchen & Cabinet Care

✓ Wipe cabinet faces with damp cloth weekly — avoid harsh cleaners
✓ Check and tighten cabinet hinges and drawer slides annually
✓ Seal granite countertops once a year with penetrating stone sealer
✓ Quartz needs no sealing — just gentle cleaning with mild soap
✓ Use cutting boards — countertops are not cutting surfaces
✓ Re-caulk around the sink and backsplash every 2-3 years

🛁

Bathroom & Shower Care

✓ Squeegee glass shower doors after every use to prevent water spots
✓ Re-caulk tub and shower surrounds every 1-2 years
✓ Seal grout lines annually — especially in Mississippi humidity
✓ Run exhaust fan during and 20 minutes after every shower
✓ Clean grout with grout-specific cleaner — not bleach
✓ Check under sink and around toilet base for leaks monthly
