Why You Don’t Want Tracked-in Leaves on Your Hardwood Floors
Fall is officially upon us. Though you might not be thrilled about summer’s end, there’s so much to look forward to this season — colorful landscapes, crisp air, delicious harvests, etc. On the other hand, fall conditions can wreak havoc on your home both inside and out.

Leaving leaves around your home isn’t just a major eyesore, either — doing so can damage your hardwood floors. Let’s discuss some potential negative effects of allowing tracked-in leaves to linger on hardwood flooring.
