Floor care & maintenance guide
How to clean every type of floor without ruining the finish
The wrong cleaner or a high-heat steam mop can cloud urethane, swell wood seams, or warp vinyl click-lock joints. Follow our field-tested care guide for each flooring material we sell and install.
01 · Solid Hardwood
Daily / Weekly
Best vacuum for hardwood floors & pet hair: Use a suction-only canister or cordless vacuum with a soft horsehair bare-floor brush head (beater bar OFF) and a dry microfiber dust pad.
Best Mop
How to clean hardwood floors (flat microfiber spray mop): Mist an NWFA-approved pH-neutral wood cleaner (Bona Pro or Pallmann) onto a flat microfiber mop pad and wipe with the grain.
Never Use
No wet string mops, steam mops, vinegar, or oil soaps: Standing water cups oak edges, vinegar dulls satin urethane, and oil soaps prevent future recoating.
CRG Field Tip: Keep indoor humidity between 35%–55% year-round and schedule a light screen-and-recoat every 3–5 years to renew the protective topcoat.
02 · Engineered Hardwood
Daily / Weekly
Sweep grit from micro-bevels: Wide planks have subtle V-groove bevels. Vacuum along the plank seams weekly so kitchen crumbs and grit don't collect.
Damp Clean
Atomized spray cleaner + dry buff: Use a low-moisture hardwood spray cleaner that evaporates within 30 seconds so moisture never sits in the end-joints.
Never Use
No abrasive green scrub pads, ammonia, or acrylic restorer: Factory aluminum-oxide finishes are ultra-hard; acrylic waxes create milky peeling patches.
CRG Field Tip: Put heavy-duty felt glides on every dining chair and barstool leg, and replace the felt pads once a year when grit embeds in them.
03 · Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Daily / Weekly
Dry microfiber dust or vacuum (beater bar OFF): Pick up grit and pet hair before damp mopping so sand never grinds into the wear layer.
Damp Clean
Warm water + pH-neutral LVP cleaner: Mist lightly and mop with a flat microfiber pad. For textured grain, gently brush scuffs with a soft nylon pad.
Never Use
No steam mop on LVP or laminate floors: High-heat steam mops force vapor into click-lock seams and warp vinyl or laminate cores, while wax polish leaves a cloudy haze.
CRG Field Tip: Never place black rubber-backed mats on LVP — rubber antioxidants cause permanent yellow staining. Use woven or felt-backed mats instead.
04 · Carpet & Carpet Tile
Daily / Weekly
CRI-approved vacuuming 2–3x weekly: Slow, overlapping passes pull dry soil out before shoes mat it into the yarn base. Use suction-only on loop pile.
Spill Care
Blot inward — never rub in circles: Press a clean white cotton towel onto spills from the outer edge inward, apply a neutral enzymatic spotter, and blot with cool water.
Never Use
No soapy rental machines or bleach spotters: Unrinsed detergent leaves a sticky film that attracts dirt twice as fast right where you cleaned.
CRG Field Tip: With modular carpet tile, if one 24"×24" tile gets permanently ruined by ink or pet stains, lift just that tile and pop in a fresh spare in 60 seconds.
Engineered hardwood, waterproof & commercial FAQ
Common questions about flooring in Raleigh, NC
Straight answers on engineered hardwood vs. solid wood, 100% waterproof flooring for kitchens and pets, and commercial flooring installation in Raleigh & The Triangle.
Why is engineered hardwood flooring popular in Raleigh, NC?
Engineered hardwood flooring bonds a thick genuine European White Oak, Red Oak, or Hickory wear layer (up to 4mm dry-sawn on MSI McCarran Reserve™) to a cross-laminated hardwood core. It handles North Carolina's humid summers and crawlspace or concrete slab moisture swings much better than wide-plank solid wood, making 7.5" and 9.5" wide planks stable across open-concept homes in Raleigh, Cary, Apex, and Wake Forest.
Do you sell and install commercial flooring in Raleigh, NC?
Yes. CRG Flooring supplies and installs commercial flooring in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Research Triangle Park, including 20-mil to 28-mil commercial luxury vinyl plank (LVP), 24" × 24" modular commercial carpet tile, commercial broadloom carpet, and rubber cove base for offices, medical suites, retail spaces, and tenant upfits.
What are the best waterproof flooring options in Raleigh, NC?
For 100% waterproof flooring in Raleigh, NC, we offer MSI Everlife® rigid-core Luxury Vinyl Plank (XL Prescott™, Andover™, Cyrus 2.0™, Laurel™ Reserve, and Trecento® stone-look LVP) as well as MSI Kelmore™ waterproof genuine hardwood. Both handle kitchen spills, wet paws, basements, and slab-on-grade installations with zero swelling.
Can I buy flooring supply-only without installation?
Yes. Homeowners, builders, and contractors can buy solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, waterproof LVP, carpet, and commercial carpet tile supply-only by the square foot with coordinating stair treads and transitions — or choose turnkey installation with digital subfloor moisture testing, leveling, and trim.
