New Floor, New Look Thursday, March 1, 2007 eedai New Floor, New Look (NAPSA)—There’s nothing quite like a new floor to give your homea new look. But you may want to consider the maintenance required when choosing a new surface, say experts at The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (ICRC): According to The Freedonia Group, an industrial research firm, by 2010, 14.6 billion square meters of carpet and flooring will be shipped out annually. * Carpet requires regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning. To protect hardwood floors from abrasive soil and particles, place rugs and matsat entryways. * Cost-effective laminate requires regular sweeping, dry mopping or vacuuming to keep floors from becoming dull. * Ceramic tile is moisture and scratch resistant. Vacuuming and damp mopping will help maintain appearance. To ensure quality service once new flooring is installed, choose an IICRC-Certified Firm for maintenance contracts and professional cleanings.
