3 Hardwood Floor Refinishing Tips for Pet Owners

Hardwood floors are a beautiful feature in any house. Whenever you have pets, however, they create maintaining your hardwood floor looking their finest a challenge. At Ealing Floor Sanding , we install and refinish hardwood floors for many people with pets, from Dachshunds to Dalmatians. The good thing is you can make some decisions that can help you keep your flooring looking great.

Pick a Lighter Stain

Choosing a lighter stain will help to hide any minor damage your pet can cause. It also hides the dirt and dust they tend to bring in from their outings more effectively. You could also consider getting a color that is relatively near your dog's fur to help hide that too!

Avoid Glossy Finishes

Even though a glossy finish could be tempting, pet owners must steer clear. Satin or matte will hide scratches or dings much better and they look great. While most of us tend to think that the scratches from the floor are from our pets, you might be surprised to know we do just as much harm ourselves. High heels, pebbles stuck in the treads of tennis shoes, and moving furniture can cause a great deal of the scratches and scratches from the flooring. Selecting lace or matte will keep your floors looking their best for much longer.

Trim People Toenails

Keeping your dog's nails trimmed will go a long way toward protecting your floors. Dogs must have their nails trimmed once every a couple of months. Use this easy rule of thumb -- if they click when they walk, it's time to get it done. Also, putting mats facing doors will also assist. The mats can accumulate dirt and small rocks that would otherwise scratch your timber floors.
