Why is my floor still sticky after mopping?

• <div><p>If your floor is still sticky after mopping, chances are you used too much or too little of the cleaning solution. Using too little won’t get all of the grime off, but using too much can leave its own residue. Refer to the cleaning solution’s instructions and dilute it as directed.</p></div>

Q: How do you make a no-rinse floor cleaner?

• <div><p>Most DIY floor cleaners don&rsquo;t require rinsing, but you&rsquo;ll want to make sure you don&rsquo;t add too much dish soap or oil to the cleaner to avoid having to rinse it after cleaning. For non-wood floors, mix 8 parts warm water, 1 part vinegar, and 1 part baking soda with a few drops of dish soap. For wood floors, use olive oil in that same mixture instead of the vinegar. You can let these solutions air-dry after cleaning your floors with them, although you should manually dry your floors if they aren&rsquo;t waterproof.</p></div>

Q: How do you shine waxed floors?

• <div><p>If you have waxed floors or floors with a penetrating stain or oil, you can shine them up with some more wax and a cloth or floor buffer. After cleaning the floor thoroughly, apply wax to the floor in small sections and use a clean, dry cloth or towel to buff it until it shines. You can also use an electric polisher, which is especially handy for large floors.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain polished stone surfaces?

• <div><p>Use pH-neutral cleaners, avoid acidic substances, and reseal porous stones periodically to maintain their finish.</p></div>

Q: How frequently should I have my floors polished?

• <div><p>You should hire a flooring professional polish hardwood floors <b>once per year</b>. This annual schedule will help keep any surface scratches from getting more profound and restore a shine to your floor. However, if you have a high-trafficked home with excess dirt and debris, you might consider twice-yearly polishing to help it stay fresh. In between professional cleanings, stay on top of weekly floor cleanings and scratch-resolving to maintain the floor&rsquo;s integrity.</p></div>

Responded quickly. Job very well done. Installers were polite, efficient, cleaned up (including vacuuming) before leaving. It also provided advice on how to maintain and how long to wait for caulking to cure before painting. I would definitely hire again for such work.
