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 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 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: How often should I polish my wood floors?

• <div><p>Wood floors should be polished every two to four months to maintain a shine and to keep them protected from daily wear and tear. More frequent maintenance includes dry mopping the floors daily and cleaning spills immediately, using a spray mop and cleaner weekly to remove any built up dirt or grime, and sanding and refinishing the floors every three to five years.</p></div>

Q: Can I polish stone surfaces myself?

• <div><p>DIY kits exist, but professional services ensure even polishing, stain removal, and proper sealing for long-lasting protection.</p></div>

They were very friendly, thorough and clean. Actually, they did something above and beyond for me, as I was getting some flooring done and they pulled up the whole carpeting for me. I will use them again in future.

Beautiful refinishing job. Got color just right, not too glossy so grain of wods shows itself off nicely. I appreciate Andrews' attention to detail, such as not only polishing aged brass feet on pedestal base but also adding teflon sliders to raise them up slightly so metal won't scratch floor.
