3 Types of Hardwood Damage That Can Occur In a House with Young Kids

Water Fight
Posted on July 17, 2020 by Brandi Jonasson

Children need outdoor spaces to channel their energy into play and enjoy their childhood to the fullest.

But the pandemic has grounded them indefinitely, and there’s nothing that can get them their freedom. This is why they bring all sorts of outdoor games inside the house – and beware, that’s bad news for your interiors!

The risk of damaging your hardwood floors won’t stop the kids and they’ll always find ways to entertain themselves. Which often means water fights, or bowling with tin cans and bottles.

Water Fight

Watch your step because you might step into a puddle of water on the floor! That’s what a water fight inside the house does.

There’s no way to stop children once they get a hold of their water guns or (worse) water balloons. They’ll turn the house into a pool in under fifteen minutes!

You can wipe and mop your floors all you want, but you can’t reverse the water damage to your hardwood. Unless you can find other activities for your kids, they won’t listen either.

If you’re in Seattle, we can restore your hardwood floors, while the kids have their fun.

Indoor Bowling

Remember when your cans of soups and beans went missing from the grocery bags? Yeah, the kids must be using them as bowling pins.

Since there are no rules except the ones they make themselves, you can expect this bowling to turn into baseball and all sorts of games that will damage your hardwood.

These games will definitely leave dents and cracks in your hardwood. As always, the people at Five Star Hardwood Floor are at your beck and call to fix the damages!

Wrestling Match

When nothing else works, your toddlers can try some of the most popular wrestling moves on each other. You can place cushions or blankets on the floor to protect them from hurting themselves, but it’s hard to protect your floors.

When the kicks and punches get out of hand, the furniture in their surroundings can topple and fall too. Heavy objects can leave cracks and dents in your hardwood panels.

Even with all the damages, you can’t deny that the games keep your kids busy. And with our best men looking after your floors for a reasonable price, you shouldn’t worry.
