Is steam mopping better than regular mopping?

• <div><p>Steam mopping might be better than regular mopping if you don’t use the right cleaning products or properly rinse or wring out the mop head. However, if you use the right techniques, regular mopping also sanitizes effectively—even if it takes more effort. Plus, you know you can use a regular mop on any flooring—including to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-laminate-floors.htm">clean laminate floors</a> or hardwood, which don’t do well with steam cleaning.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't mop the floor?

• <div><p>Besides feeling icky grit when walking barefoot in your home, not mopping the floors can create health risks. Pollen, dirt, dust, and overall filth lead to allergen, bacteria, and even mold buildup, polluting your home and creating an unhygienic environment. You also risk damaging the floors due to stains and scratches with neglect. Lastly, your home will become less inviting due to odors from the lack of cleaning.</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: What equipment or products are used in a professional cleanup?

• <div><p>Professionals use HEPA vacuums, industrial-strength cleaners, and microfiber cloths for effective cleaning without damaging surfaces.</p></div>

Q: Can you buff hardwood floors without refinishing?

• <div><p>You can buff out small scratches or indentations from your hardwood floor, but refinishing is your best bet if you have larger areas that need work. Floors in relatively good shape but have lost their luster can be restored with thorough buffing. If your finish has worn off in areas or if you have sun or water damage, you should go with refinishing instead.</p></div>

It went OK, the house had not been cleaned and it was very dirty. We had the cleaner clean the carpets and steam clean counters countertops and all floor surfaces. We wanted a very clean septic job which this thing did very well, but it also did not get all areas clean like we wanted near...

I tried to clean the floor that had years of Swiffer, Mop and Glow, Pine Sol, etc., build up on it. The laminate was originally a very blonde wood color but it was very dark. I used a home floor cleaner and spent 3 hours working only on about 1/3 of the floor. Not only was it very tiring and...

First, there is a communication conflict between an employee and the owner. The owner leaves the sale of the used appliances to the employees. An employee showed me a washer and dryer set. He said that he was waiting on a part for the washer. The employee quoted a price of $250.00 for the set...
