Floor Care Tips in Chandler / Gilbert, AZ

From Footprints Floors's Top Professionals


Proper floor care preserves the appearance and durability of your floors. With regular maintenance, you can prevent damage, enhance aesthetics, and prolong the lifespan of hardwood, laminate, tile, and stone flooring.

At Footprints Floors, we believe that proper floor care doesn't have to be complicated. Here are some general floor care tips in Chandler / Gilbert, AZ to help you keep your floors in good condition:

Regular Cleaning


Keeping your floors clean will help maintain their durability in the long run.

  • Sweep and Vacuum: Regularly sweeping or vacuuming floors helps remove dirt and debris that can cause scratches. Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum with a hardwood floor attachment. For carpets, vacuuming at least once a week is recommended to keep fibers clean and resilient.
  • Mop with Care: Maintaining clean and hygienic floors requires the right tools and techniques. We recommend using a microfiber mop paired with a neutral pH cleaner spray for hardwood and laminate floors. This method is gentle and effective, ensuring your floors stay in top condition. For tile and stone floors, a sponge mop or a traditional string mop can be used. Always choose a cleaning solution recommended for your specific type of flooring and avoid excessive water to prevent damage.

Protect Floors


Using protective measures can significantly extend the life of your flooring.

  • Use Mats and Rugs: Placing mats and rugs at entryways and high-traffic areas can help prevent dirt and debris from scratching and damaging your floors. These protective coverings act as the first line of defense, capturing grit and moisture before they reach your flooring.
  • Furniture Pads: Install furniture pads under the legs of all chairs, tables, and other furniture to prevent scratches and dents. These pads create a buffer between the furniture and the floor, distributing the weight and reducing the risk of damage.
  • Address Spills and Stains Immediately: Clean spills as soon as they happen to prevent staining and water damage. Use a soft cloth and a mild cleaner suitable for the specific flooring type. For liquids like wine or juice, blot instead of wipe to prevent spreading. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for treating stains, as different flooring types require different cleaning methods.
  • Control Humidity Levels: Wood floors can expand and contract with changes in humidity. Using a humidifier in dry conditions and a dehumidifier in high humidity can keep floors stable. Ideal indoor humidity levels should be between 30% and 50% to prevent wood from warping or gapping.

Use Appropriate Cleaning Products


Using the best cleaning products for your specific flooring type is key to effective maintenance.

  • Choose the Right Cleaner: Select a cleaner specifically designed for your type of flooring. Whether you have hardwood, tile, or stone, using the appropriate cleaner will ensure that your floors are properly maintained without causing any damage. For example, hardwood floors benefit from pH-neutral cleaners, while stone floors may require a cleaner that prevents etching.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from cleaners that contain harsh chemicals, such as bleach or ammonia, as these can damage the finish and integrity of your floors. Opt for gentle, pH-balanced cleaners that are safe for your flooring type.
Featured Product: LOBA Floor Care

We recommend LOBA floor care products to maintain the beauty and durability of your floors. These specially formulated products provide gentle yet effective cleaning and maintenance for various types of flooring.

LOBA offers a range of solutions, including cleaners, polishes, and protective coatings tailored to different flooring materials. Discounts are available for first-time users of LOBA products.

Long-Term Maintenance Tips


Regular, long-term maintenance helps preserve the original finish and structural integrity of your floors, keeping them pristine and extending their lifespan.

  • Refinishing Hardwood Floors in Chandler / Gilbert AZ: Even the best-cared-for hardwood floors can show signs of wear over time. Refinishing every 7-10 years helps to restore their appearance and extend their lifespan. This process involves sanding the surface to remove scratches and dents before applying a fresh finish coat.
  • Tile and Grout Care: Tiles can become dull, and grout can darken with age. Regularly sealing grout and using a mild cleaner can maintain the look of tile floors. For deep cleaning, professionals use specialized equipment and cleaning solutions to refresh and reseal tiles and grout.

What Our Customers Say

The wife found Footprints on FB marketplace trying to locate a flooring company that could help us with a remodel. Right off the bat from the beginning everyone we came in contact with was so friendly and knowledgeable and listened to all of our needs for the project. We could not wait to get started. The project is all done and we could not be happier! The whole team, Matt, Melissa, Rueben and his teammate did a phenomenal job. They helped us with scope that we were not sure of how to handle and went above an beyond with every request! We are already discussing the next project and will be using Footprints again! Update 12/20/24 Second round of flooring project completed! Another phenomenal job by Footprints and the whole team. The biggest issue we have is there isn't another project needed to be completed at this time :) if you need something done this is the company to choose!
Juan Romero 12/20/24 — google
Very appreciative that they took on my project. I had water damage in my kitchen, needed the engineered planks replaced and they did a great job. Very professional, showed up on time and went above and beyond to do the job correctly. Thank you!
kandi roeser 11/27/24 — google
The crew was hard working, on-time, consistent and professional. The work turned out wonderfully! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We removed and replaced tile and used Vinyl planks as well. Great company!
Stephanie Walker 11/26/24 — google
I used Footprints Floors and I wanted to give a special thank you to Edgar and his installation team who did a beautiful job with the hardwood floor installation. We chose extra long and wide floors which is extra challenging to install. His team provided excellent customer service and made sure I was 100% satisfied with the work and came back to do touch ups for a few items. We had 2,000 sq ft installed and I love my new floors!
Mandy Anderson 11/22/24 — google
We had Footprints Floors do two rooms for us and we couldn't be happier. They are the "BEST"..Matt was so gracious and helpful to get us what we needed, and the two young men that did the work, "Really excellent workers and just great to have in the house". Melissa also great, kept an eye on the job start to finish also making things run smooth. They were basically in and out two days, we were back to living in our house and loving it!!! Thanks so much to your "TEAM"..
Bob Sommer 10/22/24 — google
100% recommend Footprints and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire them in future. They were a pleasure to work with, very helpful through the process. Everything was cleaned up nicely, they started on time and finished in less time than anticipated. We couldn’t be happier with our new floors, they are beautiful.
Marci Kahrs 10/16/24 — google
The team at Footprints Floors did a fantastic job. From quote to completion. They were professional, friendly, fair and fast. Would highly recommend!
Shantell Artley 10/7/24 — google
Prompt, local, family owned business that installed a floor for me with great care for a reasonable price.
John Huestis 09/19/24 — google
The team from Footprints Floors are wonderful! They did a great job installing my floors! They are very professional, polite, and made sure I was happy with everything from start to finish. I can't say enough of how impressed I am with their work ethic. I would highly recommend Footprints Floors.
Laura Amoroso 09/17/24 — google
I had Footprints Floors install tile in my master bedroom, and they did an amazing job! Their attention to detail was impressive, and the final result looks fantastic. The pricing was very reasonable, and their customer service was great throughout the process. Highly recommend!
Krista Larsen-Salih 09/9/24 — google
I could not be happier with Footprints! Having 4 dogs, my bedroom carpet was a horrible disaster. I found tile that matched the rest of my house, and Footprints installed it. The installer (I wish I had written down his name) was incredible! I tried to keep my 4 dogs outside, but they weren't having it. The installer told me to let them in, he would be fine. And sure enough, my dogs made a new best friend (one tried to leave with him on the first day). My project started on a Monday morning, and by Tuesday afternoon, the whole room was done and grouted. It looks fantastic! They were upfront on pricing and very clean. Will definitely use them again, and recommend them for sure!

Matt available throughout our project. Great communication and guidance on material needed. Shout out to Junior and his sidekick that installed LVP flooring. Talented young crew that have obviously laid this type of flooring. Footprints bid came in a little higher, but after talking with them I knew the project would be completed properly - they didn't disappoint. A big shout out to Rueben, very professional and knowledgeable of his trade.
Carl Fries 08/23/24 — google
The Footprints team were amazing! I needed new flooring in bedroom, kitchen and repairs to wood flooring and kitchen backsplash. Melissa kept the project moving, their crew were efficient and had a crew of specialists for each part of the project. They are the real heroes of this story, they were all nice, efficient, showed up on time and did good work! I was most worried about how they’d repair/replace the damage so it blends with the rest of the flooring. I only wish I did it sooner. I have my home back! Thank you Matt, Melissa and Footprints team!
Jolie Keys 08/18/24 — google
Great work and service. My back splash looks perfect.
jeff Mavis 07/29/24 — google
Matt, Melissa, Edgar and the entire team at Footprints Floors were awesome. From the minute I submitted a webform with interest to today when I made my final payment, they were responsive, considerate, easy to work with, listened to and understood what we were really hoping to achieve, and DELIVERED! Every time we walk in the doors to our home and see our new stairs we take a deep breath and relax knowing they are beautiful, protected, and done with high quality materials and craftsmanship. They were able to match (as closely as can be expected) the stain of the real wood to our LVP flooring throughout the rest of the home. I even called them back to ask if they could fix a few things that seemed like small misses, but would have bothered me daily, and they didn't hesitate - Edgar even came out on a Saturday morning to button things up. Price was fair - work is outstanding - experience is 5-star! Than you!!

We found Footprints Floors through a Google search. We did their online free estimate request and was promptly contacted through a text to set up an appointment. Matt came within two days, sent a proposal within another two days, and was able to start the work within another week. We chose Footprint Floors to do a kitchen backsplash to upgrade our kitchen. The night before the project start date we received a text from Melissa, who was assigned to be the manager for the project. She detailed what to expect the next day. The day of the project, Matt introduced us to Fernando and his son, who did the work. Melissa, came later in the day to check on the progress and to see if Fernando needed anything. Fernando and his son were professional, took great care to protect the surrounding areas, did precise work, and cleaned up almost without a trace, inside and outside. We highly recommend giving Footprints Floors your consideration for your next project.
Chadwick Family 06/11/24 — google
The Footprints Team once again did an amazing job for us. LVP, ceramic tile and new baseboards gave our rooms the refresh we were looking for!
Laura Fiemann 06/3/24 — google
Excellent work and great communication along the way. From the time I reached out the job was completed with a few weeks. Highly Recommend.
Chad DePaoli 05/21/24 — google
We used footprints for a whole home install of luxury vinyl plank flooring and baseboards. We had some repairs that needed to be done over a year later due to a manufacturers defect. They arrived promptly, did a great job and cleaned up. A great experience and we highly recommend them!! Thank you!
Derrick 05/16/24 — google
After getting the run around from several other flooring companies, Matt and Footprints Floors came through! Their company was prompt to respond, regular updates, installers were ontime and focused on doing a quality job. I would highly recommend Footprints Floors for all your flooring needs! Thanks to Matt, Stephanie, and your crew for an excellent job! Look forward to future business opportunities!
