Q: Can I mix Bon Ami with vinegar?

• <div><p>While it is not recommended, you can mix Bon Ami with vinegar for a more powerful cleaning mixture. However, you should avoid mixing other types of powder cleaners, such as Comet and Ajax, with vinegar or with each other, as the reaction often creates a toxic gas that&rsquo;s dangerous to the human body.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between buffing and polishing a floor?

• <div><p>Both buffing and polishing increase the longevity of your floors by removing scratches and buildup, but they are different processes. Polishing removes the top layer of your floor, removing surface-level scuffs and scratches. Buffing your floor involves filling the scratches and scuffs with a buffing solution. No matter which method you choose, you can rest assured that both techniques will leave your floor looking shiny and new. </p></div>

Q: What additional home improvement tasks should I consider undertaking concurrently with shoe molding installation?

• <div><p>Before installing shoe molding, evaluate redoing or refinishing any floors and painting your walls or baseboard before putting on your shoe molding. If you don&rsquo;t already have baseboard trim, you should install that before adding shoe molding. Shoe molding is the final touch. Additionally, a carpenter or other professional that&rsquo;s installing shoe molding might also give you a deal on installing crown molding and replacing other trim if you get them done at the same time.</p></div>

Q: How long does cleaning and polishing take?

• <div><p>Services typically take 2-4 hours, depending on the area size and floor material.</p></div>
