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>

How do I keep my floors spotless?

• <div><p>Now that you know the true pleasure of a squeaky-clean floor, you’re probably wondering how to keep floors clean between mop days. Here are the best tips to keep your floor looking spotless:</p><ul><li><p>Give floors a quick daily swipe with a microfiber mop.</p></li><li><p>Keep a spray bottle of your cleaning solution on hand to use as needed.</p></li><li><p>Sweep daily and vacuum once or twice a week.</p></li><li><p>Clean up spills and messes as soon as they happen.</p></li><li><p>Place a doormat at each entrance to your home to reduce mud tracking.</p></li><li><p>Consider enforcing a “no shoes inside” policy.</p></li><li><p>Wash your pet’s paws before letting them back inside.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Why don't you put flooring under kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Sometimes, it’s best to avoid putting flooring under cabinets or installing the cabinets first. Installing cabinets on top of the flooring can void the flooring warranty. This can be a costly problem, especially if accidental flooring damage occurs during installation. Also, it’s not a good idea to install cabinets over floating floors, such as laminate, that need room to expand and contract. Finally, avoiding installing flooring under kitchen cabinets is a more budget-friendly option as you will use fewer materials.</p></div>

We scheduled an appointment and they called to confirm. They also called on the day of the appointment indicating that they could work us in earlier if we were available which worked out well for us. We were dreading having the long water and vacuum hoses stretched out all the house on our...

This was an amazing and satisfying service. The Twin Brothers Mark and David provided the on site free estimate of work hours and Lowe's provided the price; which was very low considering the enormity of the job. The crew arrived on time, was professional and pleasant. The demolition with...

Matt did the estimate- came out almost to the board-perfect, no leftover material. John built/stained the new stairs. He is a perfectionist- he torn out all the old treads and risers down to the stringer. Then he started placing ones he had made in his shop. It took him two days. They...

"I have never dealt with a more incompetent company as Best Flooring. It started with the removal of all the original flooring which left holes in my wall, chipped cabinets and every corner of my house walls scuffed. They were very apologetic and promised to make it right…They didn’t. I brought up many concerns during demolition and installation. My floors upstairs were creaking like I lived in a 100 year home. There were cracked planks in every room. The floors were moving when stepped on. They came out twice to fix the problems and used my 4 un-opened boxes to replace the “problem” areas. I finally had to get a certified floor specialist to come to my home to give an unbiased opinion on what was going on. Which cost more money out of my pocket. Come to find out they never leveled my floors correctly. So As of right now I am out of over $22,000…What I paid them for the flooring, what the flooring cost and plumber fees. They broke my flanges on 2 toilets and reinstalled my master bath toilet when repairing the floors for the second time and the toilet leaked to my downstairs. There is countless other problems like ruining my rug, spilling something on my outside freshly painted porch that is now discolored. I could go on and on. My floors are only 3 months old!!! Please do not use this company. They are awful and have no clue what they are doing!"
