Learn More About Residential & Commercial Flooring Surfaces

At Prince Carpet & Floors, we understand the ins and outs of contemporary flooring surfaces. Whether you're interested in learning more about commercial carpets or residential flooring surfaces, our team has got you covered every step of the way. In fact, we've developed this helpful FAQ section to inform our clients about floor care techniques and our selection of flooring options.

  • What is the best way to maintain my carpet?

    Vacuum frequently; clean spills promptly; periodic professional cleanings (once a year).

  • Why is vacuuming important?

    Vacuuming removes dirt particles that can dull the appearance of your carpet. To keep your carpet looking fresh, consider buying less expensive entryway rugs to catch soil before it is tracked further into your home. 

  • What if the appearance of my carpet changes?

    Sprouting (when loose ends rise above the rest); pile crushing (most commonly indents from furniture); and shading (heavy traffic or sunlight areas) are all very common changes that can occur in your carpet. Just give us a call and we can walk you through a simple and easy solution for each.

  • What areas do you serve?

    We proudly serve Long Island, Nassau County, Suffolk County, NY and beyond.

  • What flooring types do you carry?

    We proudly offer carpet, linoleum, laminate, hardwood, and vinyl tile. 

  • Do you provide commercial flooring?

    Yes, we proudly offer our services to both residential and commercial properties. 

  • How should I prepare for the carpet installation process?

    Your carpet installer can handle the most difficult steps and even most of the preparation before installation begins. You should move any furniture, technology, or smaller items that you would prefer to handle yourself. This makes it as easy as possible to complete the carpet installation project efficiently. Make sure you leave clear pathways to get into and out of the room in case of emergency. 

  • How do I know it’s time for carpet replacement?

    Wear and tear on your carpet can make any home or business look worse, no matter how clean it is. If you notice mold or mildew growth, irreparable stains, a persistent smell, and a generally beat-up appearance, it’s likely time for carpet replacement. 

  • How do I care for my commercial flooring?

    Regularly cleaning your commercial flooring will help it last longer, keep your employees safe, and ensure that your business is always looking its best. Periodic maintenance will depend on the flooring type: use a neutral cleaner to mop ceramic, laminate, or hardwood flooring, and vacuum your commercial carpets often. Spot clean any spills as they happen to avoid staining.

  • Why should I consider laminate flooring?

    Laminate flooring is incredibly durable and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic rooms. It is relatively eco-friendly, affordable, and easy to install. Laminate flooring tends to last for a long time because it doesn’t discolor or scratch easily. 

  • How do I care for laminate flooring?

    Establishing a regular cleaning routine is important for keeping laminate floors clean. Sweep and vacuum weekly to get rid of dust and pet hair. Use a damp (not wet) mop every two to three months, then dry with a microfiber cloth or a dry mop to make sure there is no water left on the floor. Spot treat stains as they happen and be careful to avoid scratching your laminate floors.

  • How do I care for natural hardwood flooring?

    Natural hardwood floors can be damaged more easily than other types of flooring, so it’s important to take proper care of them. Use furniture pads to protect your floor against scratching and clean any spills immediately. Dust or sweep every day to prevent it from settling between your floorboards, especially if you have pets. Vacuum weekly to make sure that any crumbs or dirt you miss don’t scratch your floors. Use a designated wood cleaner every month to take proper care of your natural hardwood flooring.
