Fall Floor Care Tips for South Carolina Homes

September 21, 2023

Fall in South Carolina, especially in the picturesque locale of Myrtle Beach, is unlike anywhere else. The blend of moderately cooler temperatures, infrequent rain, and a lighter touch of foliage calls for a specific set of floor care recommendations.

Why Fall Floor Care Matters in Myrtle Beach

The coastal beauty of Myrtle Beach offers both charm and challenge. Fall months might not drop leaves like our northern neighbors, but we do experience subtle changes. The diminished humidity, mixed with beach sand and sea breezes, means homeowners should adapt their cleaning regimens to maintain pristine floors.

Keeping Hardwood Floors Shining

  • Tip 1: Vacuum and sweep regularly. Sand and debris can act like sandpaper on hardwood, causing unsightly scratches.
  • Tip 2: Use a damp mop, not a wet one. Excessive moisture can damage hardwood.
  • Tip 3: Always use cleaning products specifically designed for hardwood to ensure protection against fall’s unique challenges.

Tile and Stone Floor Maintenance

  • Tip 1: Avoid acidic cleaners which can erode grout and damage the finish of some tiles.
  • Tip 2: Wipe up spills promptly. Although tiles resist stains, grout can discolor quickly.
  • Tip 3: Once a month, indulge your tiles with a deep clean using a special tile cleaner, ensuring a radiant shine all fall.

  • Tip 1: Vacuum at least once a week. More frequent vacuuming helps lift dirt and allergens, making the home healthier.
  • Tip 2: Spot clean as needed. The occasional spill is inevitable, but immediate action can prevent lasting stains.
  • Tip 3: Consider a professional cleaning. Fall can be an excellent time to freshen up carpets before the holidays.
