Review the hardwood refinishing experts’ best tips for protecting floors from four-legged friends:

  • Trim Pet Claws: Keep your furry family members’ claws clipped using pet-safe clippers. Ask your veterinarian for instructions if you’re unsure how to clip claws correctly or take the animals to your local groomer.
  • Use Nail Caps: Affix soft nail caps on Rover’s claws to prevent hardwood floor damage. Cat nails are retractable and generally will not scratch floors. Nail caps also keep pets from slipping on newly waxed hardwood floors, as they provide the traction necessary for sidestepping injury.
  • Restoring Hardwood FloorsClean Messes Immediately: Clean pet messes as soon as possible to prevent warping, staining, odors, and other damage. While animals sometimes make messes when you are not at home, the sooner you attend to accidents, the better.
  • Add Runners: Add runners, aka long, thin rugs, to high-traffic pet areas. Place mats in front of doorways to stop your pet from tracking in dirt and debris, and consider adding beautiful rugs to rooms with hardwood floors if you have not already.
  • Train: Train your animals to avoid rooms featuring hardwood flooring. You may also decide to put up baby gates in doorways to keep animals out of the living room, dining room, and any other room with hardwood floors.
