Summer in Omaha brings plenty of sunshine, foot traffic, and outdoor fun—all great for making memories, but not always friendly to your hardwood floors. Whether you’re hosting backyard barbecues or just dealing with daily wear, now’s the time to give your flooring the extra care it deserves.

At The Floor Club, we help local homeowners and trade professionals find premium hardwood flooring at unbeatable prices. And we know from experience: simple habits in the summer can help your floors look better, longer.

Keep Dirt and Grit Outside

• Place heavy-duty mats at all entry points
• Encourage guests and family to remove shoes indoors
• Shake out rugs regularly to avoid buildup underneath

Use Soft Pads on Summer Furniture

• Add felt pads or soft coasters to chair and table legs
• Avoid dragging furniture—lift when possible
• Check pads monthly to ensure they’re clean and still attached

Watch for Water from the Outdoors

• Keep a towel or absorbent mat near doors leading outside
• Wipe up puddles as soon as they appear
• Don’t place wet items (like swimsuits or coolers) directly on the floor

Limit Direct Sunlight Exposure

• Use light-filtering curtains or blinds during peak hours
• Rearrange rugs and furniture occasionally to even out sun exposure
• Choose UV-resistant finishes when selecting new hardwood flooring

Stick to a Routine Cleaning Schedule

• Sweep or vacuum regularly using a hardwood-safe attachment
• Clean with a damp (not wet) microfiber mop and floor cleaner made for hardwood
• Avoid harsh chemicals, wax-based products, or steam mops

Bonus Tip: Give Your Floors a Seasonal Check-Up

Summer is a great time to assess how your floors are holding up. Are there scratches, dull areas, or signs of wear in high-traffic spots? If so, this could be the season to plan for refinishing—or even upgrading your floors altogether.
