Before investing in new hardwood floors, check with a professional, about looking at the current floors in your home. Sometimes, you may have beautiful, natural hardwood hiding underneath layers of carpet or linoleum, that is just waiting to be refinished. You will wind up with a nicer looking, higher quality floor for less money.

If you’re thinking about putting down carpeting for your home, make sure to choose carpeting in dark colors only. Light colors such as beige, white, or light brown tend to pick up dirt and stains, making your carpeting appear cheap and used. Opt for colors like dark green or dark brown to hide what shouldn’t be seen and prolong the life of your carpet. And if you do go light, make sure you get a quality cleaner like the Hoover Steamvac Supreme Deep Cleaner.

Putting in carpet in high traffic areas like hallways and entryways will always cost you more money than it’s worth. Within one season of mud and rain your high traffic carpeted areas will show much more dirt and wear than the rest of your carpet. It will need to be replaced sooner too. Instead, add tile, linoleum or other wear resistant and dirt resistant materials.

When you are remodeling your bathroom, make sure not to add carpeting to the floor. Not only does carpeting stain easily, but the water from the shower will give the carpet, and subsequently your whole bathroom, a foul odor. Instead, go with a tile that can withstand any water that may get on the floor.
