Get Holiday-Ready With Floors USA: Cheers To The Season—Spills And All!

Monday, December 2, 2024

The holiday season is here—a time to gather with friends and family, entertain, share laughter, and try your hand at new recipes while bringing out those timeless classics. Whether you’re hosting a grand holiday dinner or a cozy get-together, your home becomes the heart of all the action.

But let’s be real: with all the revelry, accidents happen. A drink gets spilled, a scuff appears, or a scratch finds its way onto your beautiful floors. Don’t stress—we’ve got your back. Here are some top tricks and hacks to keep your floors looking their best, no matter what the season throws your way.

Quick Fixes for Common Holiday Mishaps

Wine on Carpet? No Problem!

• Blot the spill immediately—don’t rub! Use a clean, absorbent cloth to soak up as much liquid as possible.

• Mix one tablespoon of dish soap with two cups of warm water and gently dab the stain.

• For stubborn stains, try a vinegar solution (1 part vinegar, 2 parts water) and rinse with a damp cloth.

Scuffed Hardwood Floors? Here's the Trick!

• Rub the scuff with a tennis ball or a soft cloth dipped in a tiny amount of baking soda and water.

• For deeper scuffs, use a hardwood floor repair marker to blend the scratch into the wood’s natural color.

Sticky Spills on Vinyl or Tile? Keep It Easy!

• Wipe up sticky messes with warm, soapy water. For tougher spots, a mixture of water and a little rubbing alcohol will do the trick.

Scratches on Laminate Flooring? Patch It Up!

• Use a laminate repair kit or clear nail polish to fill in minor scratches. A bit of polish can seal the area and prevent further damage.

At Floors USA, we believe the holidays should be about joy, not stress. If a mishap leaves your flooring needing a little more than DIY, don’t hesitate to reach out. Our expert team is here to help you restore your floors to perfection—so you can keep making memories without missing a beat.
