Q: Do you need to have floors polished?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-shine-hardwood-floors.htm">Floor polishing</a> isn&rsquo;t technically necessary, but it will help your floors last longer and hold up better to scratches. Floor polish is a thin coating that fills in small abrasions on your floor and makes them less visible, and it can act as a protective covering that prevents future damage to the floor underneath. Floor polish helps protect against water and moisture, so it&rsquo;s a great service if you want to extend the lifespan of your floors. Additionally, polish makes your floors shine, making your home look cleaner and more inviting.</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>

Q: Is it okay to mop hardwood floors?

• <div><p>Yes, you can mop hardwood floors with a damp flat or string mop as long as it is not soaking wet. Always avoid leaving standing water or fully soaking your hardwood floors, even if they are properly finished. A slightly wet mop, with or without cleaning solutions, will not damage the wood.</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>

After setting the appointment they arrived 2 hours late. After inspecting the house I found dusty cabinets, drawers and lamps that were not cleaned. I am not happy with this service at all after paying $200.00 and the job was very simple cleaning.

They were okay. They did a good job. It was one girl and she really worked hard. One thing I didn't care for was they did the floors, they wiped them with rags instead of mopping them and I didn't like that. They didn't use any bleach, no bleach at all. The price was good. I think the other work...
