High heels, wet boots, chairs that can be slipped from one end of the room to the other... Hosting can be damaging to your wooden floors. Keep them protected!

A floor's resistance varies from one product to another. For example, floating wooden floors are often stronger than hardwood floors. The choice of wood is also a factor that affects its resistance level. We can think of oak flooring that is difficult to stain or mark or cherry wood, which is more fragile.

No matter what floor you have in your home, it's better to protect it from the horde of guests who are about to invade your home during the holiday season. Because you don't want to worry about your floor during this time of celebration, here are some tips to protect them... and lighten your mind!

Having family and friends over for the holidays can be stressful. We want the house to be spotless, the guests to eat well and the atmosphere to be magical. And all this without sacrificing money! What if someone took a weight off your shoulders and suggested tips to reduce costs?

The first step is to plan your budget. Although it can be dull, it is essential to get down to the task in order to set a maximum amount to spend. This amount must include the meal, alcohol and decoration. One trick to avoid cheating is to withdraw the exact amount in cash and leave your credit cards at home. Now that your budget is done, here are our tips!
