It’s the holiday season and for some that means an increased amount of entertaining guests. For people with carpeting, the thought of high foot traffic and possible spills on your warm and inviting flooring may cause your heart to beat a little faster. Don’t fear! We’ve compiled a list of the top three ways to keep your carpet looking fresh and stain-free. Carpet cleaning experts all agree – to keep your cozy floors long-lasting, time and effort are needed.

Here are three tips to help you keep your carpets clean:

  1. Dust and Vacuum Often – As soft and welcoming as your carpet does look, it is home to allergens and dust particles that collect in all of your living spaces. The more you neglect to dust and vacuum, the more dust bunnies and their small friends take up residence in your carpeted home. So stop the migration of unwanted guests and start small. One way that you can slowly change your routine and help your carpets last longer, is to focus on the high-traffic areas.

A New Floor For The Holidays

You have wanted a new floor for ages. What better time than the Holiday Season is there to show off your new look to friends and family?

I can hear the howls of protest already. Hire contractors, demolition, renovation…. Over The Holidays? You must be crazy!

Yet despite what seems like a very common sense response, this is actually the best time of year to have flooring work done. I’m going to qualify that statement a little, because as always, you need the right people.

What makes the right person? We all know this one: price and quality.

Price of a New Floor – The Holidays give you the best opportunity to negotiate from a strong position

Quality is a tough one and we’ll spend some time covering that topic a little later in this post. Price, however, is the easy part around the holiday season. Why? Because work is slow and schedules are flexible.

The general reluctance to do home renovation work over the season means jobs are coming in at half the normal speed, or even slower. On the other hand,

Floor Flattening: The Best Kept Secret For The Best New Flooring Installation

Get Your Floors Professionally Leveled with Speedy’s Floor Flattening Services

Are you thinking about putting new flooring into your North Central Florida home? Have you been perusing trendy products such as classic hardwood, engineered hardwood, modern laminate, or ceramic, stone, or wood plank tile? It seems that options for what you can use to cover your floors are always increasing, but one thing is true about most of them: you need a very flat floor to achieve the perfect installation.

Up-to-Date Flooring Demands Up-to-Date Subfloor Standards

Certain flooring products require the flattest of subfloors in order to prevent visible unevenness that could result in various problems. Misaligned floors are more likely to cause chips, cracks, breaks, wobbly furniture, and injured humans.

The increasingly popular wood plank tile is particularly prone to these problems as these tiles themselves are not perfectly flat. The center of wood plank tiles is higher than the ends, and when people try to genuinely replicate the look of wood by offsetting the planks, improperly leveled floors will only worsen these potentially hazardous height differences.

In order to lay wood plank tile for the utmost safety and longevity,

The Hottest New Flooring Trend: Wood Plank Tile

The Many Wonders of Wood Plank Tiles

In order to best serve the flooring needs of North Central Florida, Speedy Floor Removal wants to continue to share the best information and the latest trends in flooring. One flooring trend in particular that has recently skyrocketed in popularity is wood plank tile, which is ceramic or porcelain tile that imitates the look of real wood floors. Traditional wood flooring has long embodied a classic, sophisticated, and luxurious look, but particular qualities of hardwood flooring make it impractical or impossible for certain rooms in the home or regions in the world.

In our blog about hardwood and engineered wood flooring, Speedy Floor Removal discussed the struggle with real hardwood flooring that living in Florida produces. Hardwood flooring is difficult to maintain in Florida because of the high humidity levels of the state’s climate. Hardwood flooring does not do well in moist environments, which is why it is not recommended for bathrooms and kitchens; yet in Florida, hardwood flooring is not recommended for the near-sea level ground floor at all due to the dangers of flooding and rapid mold growth.Therefore, tile flooring is a much better option for states with sea water wafting through the air like Florida,
