Sweeping instead of vacuuming
According to experts, when cleaning a room with a hardwood or laminated floor, try not to sweep and use the vacuum cleaner instead. This way you will protect your flooring and prevent damage in the long run.
“If you’re going to mop or sweep, make sure you vacuum first to prevent moving those itty-bitty particles and abrasives — like sand — along the floor’s surface, which can scratch or damage floors,” says Carter.
