## Story

First-ever Minneapolis Footprints Floors franchisee and flooring expert Hayden Sutton was featured in a segment on WCCO-TV, where he demonstrated three different mats to help keep floors scratch-free during the harsh winter months. Before becoming a Footprints franchisee, Hayden was a project manager in Denver, and continues to try to provide excellent customer care and unparalleled results when it comes to floor-care.

Hayden insists that salt can eat away at the finish on hardwood floors, especially in winter where people can track in salt, dirt, and mud. Water absorbent mats are easily washable and although plastic mats are not the most attractive of floor protectors, they are still necessary. Hayden is adamant when it comes to using such practices like including using felt protector pads on the bottom of chairs, tables, and couches. Putting a mat or a rug outside of the entrance lets guests and family wipe their shoes, and a second rug traps in more dirt once guests are inside.
