1. Introduction
The living room is the heart of your home — a place where family gathers, guests are entertained, and daily life unfolds. This also means your living room floor endures maximum wear and tear. Whether you’ve chosen marble, tile, laminate, or wood, proper maintenance is key to preserving its beauty and strength for years.
At Goel World, we guide customers across Lucknow in choosing and maintaining their floors, helping them protect their investment.
2. Why Maintenance Matters
-
Enhances lifespan of flooring
-
Keeps surfaces clean, hygienic, and shiny
-
Prevents long-term damage from spills, dust, or furniture
-
Reduces repair and replacement costs
Neglecting routine care may lead to dull finishes, stubborn stains, and even cracks — especially in Indian households where dust and humidity are common.
3. Common Living Room Flooring Types
At Goel World, the most popular flooring options for living rooms include:
-
Vitrified & Ceramic Tiles (RAK Ceramics, Johnson)
-
Marble & Natural Stone (Cheema Pink, Lakha Red, Rajasthan Black)
-
Wooden & Laminate Flooring (Engineered Wood, WPC)
-
Vinyl & PVC Laminates
Each material has unique care needs, but all benefit from basic cleanliness and protection.
4. General Maintenance Tips for All Floor Types
-
Dust or vacuum daily to remove dirt particles that cause scratches.
-
Mop weekly using a damp microfiber mop. Avoid excess water, especially on wooden floors.
-
Clean spills immediately to prevent stains or warping.
-
Use doormats at entry points to trap dust and moisture.
-
Rotate rugs and furniture occasionally to prevent uneven fading or indentation.
5. Specific Care Based on Flooring Material
🧱 Tile Floors
-
Use pH-neutral cleaners like Roff or diluted Lizol.
-
Scrub grout lines monthly to prevent discoloration.
-
Avoid acid-based cleaners — they can wear down the surface over time.
🪨 Marble Floors
-
Wipe with soft, dry cloth daily; mop with warm water and mild cleaner.
-
Use sealants every 6–12 months to prevent staining.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals, lemon, or vinegar — they etch marble.
🪵 Wooden & Laminate Floors
-
Use dry mops or vacuum with soft brush attachment.
-
Never wet mop — moisture damages wood.
-
Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches.
-
Re-polish or reseal annually, especially in high-use areas.
🧰 Engineered Wood
-
Clean with a wood-safe spray and microfiber mop.
-
Avoid dragging furniture — lift and place.
-
Maintain room humidity between 40–60% to prevent swelling or shrinking.
6. Preventive Measures to Protect Floors
-
Place area rugs in high-traffic zones.
-
Avoid shoes indoors, especially stilettos and muddy footwear.
-
Use furniture coasters or felt pads to avoid indentations.
-
Curtains or blinds can prevent UV rays from fading floors.
-
Keep pet nails trimmed to avoid scratches.
💡 In areas like Sushant Golf City or Faizabad Road in Lucknow, dust levels can be high. Vacuuming twice a day may be ideal during summer months.
