Self-cleaning floors do exist; however, they are not quite magic. Some surfaces have coatings or treatments that can reduce the accumulation of dirt, bacteria, or moisture, but as of yet, there is no flooring that requires absolutely no maintenance to stay clean. Somewhere between the scientific explanation of self-cleaning floors and what some manufacturers want […]

When your flooring makes a statement in your home, the eye is typically drawn there first. Pattern, contrast, texture, and layout can create that impact.
