How do I repair damaged tiles or flooring?
The repair process for damaged tiles or flooring depends on the extent and type of damage. For minor tile cracks, you can use a tile repair kit or replace individual tiles. In the case of hardwood flooring, damaged sections can be replaced by a professional. It's best to consult a flooring specialist to assess the damage and recommend the appropriate repair method.
Can I install hardwood flooring in areas prone to moisture, like bathrooms or basements?
Traditional hardwood flooring is not recommended for areas with high moisture levels, as it can warp or become damaged. However, there are alternatives available, such as engineered hardwood flooring, which is more moisture-resistant and suitable for areas prone to moisture.
How do I maintain and clean my tile or hardwood floors?
For tile floors, regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove loose dirt and debris is recommended. Mopping with a mild detergent or tile cleaner and avoiding abrasive cleaning agents are essential to preventing damage to the tiles. Hardwood floors should be swept or vacuumed regularly and cleaned with a hardwood floor cleaner specifically designed for the type of finish.
