Proper Maintenance for Hardwood Floors

Wholesale wood flooring, like those from ProSource wholesale floorcoverings, can be a great way to redo your floors without having to spend a lot of money. Hardwood floors are known for their beauty and durability, but not many people know that they can add value to your home as well if you maintain them correctly!

Hardwood floors are one of the easiest flooring options to keep clean. Basic maintenance of hardwood floors includes sweeping, vacuuming, and going over with a dust mop.

Be on the lookout for these common hardwood floor damagers!

Sun – Can fade your floors quickly! Be sure to keep curtains closed during peak sun hours.

Dirt – Dirt if left on the floors can scratch and stain your beautiful hardwood floors. Adding a welcome mat or any type of mat at your front door for people to wipe their shoes on can cut down on the amount of dirt on your floors.

Water – Water is left on the floor for long periods of time, can cause your floors to warp. Water can also damage hardwood floors if used to clean the floors! You want to use a commercially available wood cleaning project to mop with.

Furniture – Don’t drag your furniture across the floors when moving it! You can purchase pads that go beneath the furniture or grab a few friends to lift the furniture! You also want to avoid rough housing that may jolt your furniture across the floors.

You can use an area rug to cut down on the space where dirt and sun can damage. Area rugs or runners can also be used in areas with high foot traffic to reduce grooves forming in the wood.

Using these tips, you can ensure your hardwood floors remain beautiful for years to come!

Man Cave

The Author of this post is Solomon Dejesus

We just bought a new house, and believe it or not, my dream to have my very own “Man Cave” is going to come true. We’ve always had to use any extra space for the kids, or the office, or the guest room, but this house has the perfect little spot that is too small for any of those things, but just the right size for a Man Cave’s essentials: couch, mini fridge, and a tv. Once I saw this room, and my wife agreed to letting me fulfill my lifelong dream, I was sold. That is all it took. I knew we had to have that house. I went out and bought myself a mini fridge, and a nice, comfy, totally ugly couch off Craigslist, and now I’m researching Satellite Television in Georgia. I tell you what, this is seriously a dream come true. I can just chill alone in my cave after work for a little while and relax. I really crave the solitude and so I am beyond thrilled about my cave.

19 Kids and Counting

Posted by Arden Wallace

I think the average American family these days has 1.25 kids or something like that. I personally have no children but that is because I also don’t have a husband which is, I think, an integral part of having children. There are other families in America who have many, many more children than 1.25. I am talking about the Duggar family which can be seen on TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting. The Duggars have nineteen children living in their house all at one time. That is basically like having a classroom full of children in your house for your whole life. It is a fascinating show to watch. What I find interesting is how well behaved all of the children are. You would think with that many kids everywhere you wouldn’t have the time or the mental capacity to discipline them effectively but the Duggars really know how to handle their children and they all seem like well rounded individuals. I watch TLS on Dish Network. You should check it out and see when 19 Kids and Counting comes on in your area.
