Comments (46)Routine Tile Cleaning There are basic maintenance procedures that should be done regularly in order to keep your tile looking new and in good shape. Here are a few low-maintenance tips that will add years to your tile: Always wipe up spills immediately to avoid possible stains and damage to the grout. Sweep your tile at least once a week. Remove all dirt and grime that is clearly visible. Damp-mop your flooring about once a week to reduce wear and abrasion from soil and grit. Place rubber tips on all furniture that comes in contact with the flooring to prevent scratches. If using a cleaner to mop your tiles, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Abrasive cleaners can damage the tile and break down sealants. To be on the safe side, test an inconspicuous part of the tile with your cleaner. You can also dilute the solution with warm water. Mild cleaners such as dish detergent are not recommended for a mopping solution, they typically develop a dull film. Tile and Grout Cleaning In order to remove any surface build-up, tile and grout cleaning needs to be done regularly. Routine grout cleaning can be done with a commercial cleaner. Just make sure that you use the proper cleaner for your tile. In addition, sometimes heavy cleaning is needed in order to remove soap build-up, grease, mildew stains and other substances that can damage the grout and tile. For heavy cleaning, use professional strength tile and grout cleaner. Sealing the Grout Grout should always be sealed after the initial installation of your tile. The importance of grout sealing is crucial. It can help: Prevent permanent stains Impede mold and mildew growth Stop grout erosion due to moisture Additionally, it is recommended that you have your commercial tile cleaned professionally when there is obvious heavy dirt and grime built-up. A professional cleaning will restore the luster of the tile. After the tile is deep cleaned, another application of grout sealant is needed. Also, grout can become permanently stained and discolored. If this happens, you’ll need to have the grout recolored as well as resealed. Good luck! Justin www.freshndri.com...See MoreNo hardwood warranty from HOM Furniture store - midwest
Comments (17)I do not believe the length of the warranty has any correlation with the quality of the product, but having manufacture stated warranty and installation information is invaluable. As consumers and dealers we have to remember that hardwood flooring warranty is designed by manufactures to protect manufactures. They have strict procedures on how to best protect the flooring for optimal performance. By protecting themselves, the manufacture protects their dealer, the installer, and ultimately the homeowner by providing a product which will last. Even the best designed products can fail under the right conditions and the manufacture has very little control over the environment once it leaves their facilities. It is just as important for the dealer, the installer, and even homeowner to be informed on how to properly care for the flooring. Not having warranty information is a huge liability issue for a flooring brand because it means they are relying on industry standards, varying degrees of installer experience, and homeowners to take care of the floors to the best of their knowledge. For all the brands we carry if something goes wrong, we are the first contact for helping to process a warranty claim and from experience this is the information we have gathered.

Comments (4)Not a pro, but I wouldn't want flooring of random lengths. If that is what you want, I would want to know exactly how many of each length I was receiving, or you may end up with way too many shorties and few longies. Are you purchasing from a local supplier who will stand behind the product...or from the internet where it will difficult/expensive to return or rectify any issues?...See MoreCasabella Engineered Hardwoods
