We live in a very sandy area, and the sand is severely scratching our marble floor. How can we keep the sand from getting on the floor?
Estimated Reading Time: < 1 MinuteUnfortunately, there is nothing you can put on the floor that will prevent it from scratching. You may find it useful to place several walk-off mats, both inside and outside the entrances, to help trap most of the sand. Dust-mopping the floor as often as possible should also help.
CAUTION For the professional- If sand is a problem for the customer it will also present a problem for you when you hone the floor. To eliminate the sand vacuum the floor several times and avoid going outside or opening any doors.
