Use a doormat outside each entrance to your home to prevent dirt, sand, grit and other substances such as oil, asphalt and
driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor. Use non-staining mats on your floor. Do not put rubber-backed, latex-backed,
or coco-fiber mats on your floor because they will stain or damage the surface.
Close your curtains or blinds where extreme sunlight hits the floor. A combination of heat and sunlight causes most home
furnishings, including resilient floors, to fad or discolor.
Support furniture with wide-bearing, non-staining floor protectors. Ideally, the protectors should be at least one inch
in diameter, made of non-pigmented, hard plastic, and rest flat on the floor. Non-staining felt protectors are also acceptable.
Casters with a mininum 3/4" flat surface width or floor protectors are recommended for all moveable furniture. Make sure
any metal protectors are rust-proof. Replace your narrow dome furniture rests with wide-bearing ones.
