Colorado’s air is crisp and clean, but its dryness causes more damage than most homeowners realize. Your floors—especially hardwood—are particularly vulnerable to low humidity levels indoors.
🚨 What Happens When Humidity is Too Low?
- Wood floors shrink, crack, and separate
- Tile grout becomes brittle and crumbly
- Laminate can start to curl at the edges
- Floorboards become squeaky or uneven
🧪 Warning Signs to Watch For
- Visible gaps between floorboards
- Increased squeaking when walking
- Edges of laminate lifting or cracking
🧼 Cleaning & Maintenance Tips for Colorado Homes
- Use a humidifier in winter to maintain 30–50% humidity
- Never over-wet wood or laminate—clean with a barely damp mop
- Use PH-neutral floor cleaners designed for hardwood or tile
🌿 Bonus Tip: Add indoor plants like peace lilies, rubber trees, or ferns. These help naturally regulate indoor humidity while purifying your air.
