Like high
high heels there
is no perfect solution
eliminating problems
with scratching,
dings, and dents
 when
it comes to dogs,
kids, and hardwood
floors. Larger,
heavier pets can
damage hardwood floors
quickly. Their
favorite sport
seems to be running to
the door when the
doorbell rings. Using
rugs in this area can
reduce scratching when
Fido finds he can't
stop and keeps banging
into the front door
while scratching the
floor at the same
time.
On
another note we found
a decent solution for
preventing or
minimizing dog nail
damage we like to call
doggie boots.
In a nutshell, doggy
boots are a protective
coating that is
applied on a regular
basis to dogs nails.
Other protective
solutions call for
trimming animal nails
on a regular basis or
just keeping them in
their backyard
doghouse.
Kids? That's a
mouthful just thinking
about it. The current
popularity of
hand scraped
flooring could be an
answer. Many can be
somewhat pricey unless
you look for some
Chinese imports online
in the four to five
dollar a square foot
range. Other solutions
with kids are a basic
understanding how you
feel about your
hardwood floors. But
as any parent knows,
kids don't have
attention spans like
adults, so any
lecturing may go in
one ear and out the
other. |
