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 best product for cleaning epoxy floors?

• <div><p>Most experts agree that the best thing with which to clean epoxy floors is a diluted mixture of ammonia and warm water. You can also use mild dish soap diluted with warm water or a degreaser (such as Simple Green or Goof Off) diluted with warm water. Some soap-based cleaners can leave a haze. If you notice this, further dilute the mixture with water or use a different detergent that does not leave a film. You should never use harsh cleaning chemicals, any type of acidic compound (such as vinegar or citrus-based cleansers), or harsh scrubbers like steel wool or hard bristle brushes.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to strip and wax floors?

• <div><p>The answer to this question depends on how large the room is and how much experience you have stripping and waxing floors. It will take at least 24 hours to strip the floors, then you must allow time for drying, waxing, waiting for them to cure, and, finally, buffing them. Since you likely will not be working for the full 24 hours, it is safe to say that this is a two- or three-day job.</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>

Q: What if the floor has only lost its luster and not been damaged or blemished?

• <div><p>Before starting on a full refinishing project, determine if your floors need to be completely sanded down to the bare wood or if the damage is shallow and mostly cosmetic. Deep scratches and gouges will require you to rough sand using a drum sander or belt sander, but small surface scratches or floors that have only lost their luster don&rsquo;t need a complete overhaul. Instead, you can skip the rough sanding step and sand-screen the old finish with a buffer, removing only the top layer of polyurethane.</p></div>
