Fix My Ugly Floor- Six Years of Transformations

“The old carpet was revolting and I always tried not to let people in the house I was so embarrassed by it. It was stained and no matter what I did I couldn’t get the smell out. I loathed my house before and now I love it, it’s so soft to walk on, it’s easy to vacuum- it’s just beautiful. I was shocked when I got that email congratulating me, I was ecstatic. I really needed this, it’s changed our house so much.”

Waterproof flooring is an incredible addition for those wanting a low-maintenance and easy-care lifestyle at home. All flooring needs to be cared for though, regardless of the material. Sweep or vacuum frequently to remove any dirt or grit (that might scratch the floor surface) and always mop up any spills as quickly as possible.
