Q: Why are my laminate floors still dirty after mopping?

• <div><p>Using too much soap or floor cleaner can leave your laminate floors looking dirty or cloudy after mopping. Only use a teaspoon of soap or cleaning solution in a gallon of water. Additionally, always be sure to sweep or vacuum laminate floors before mopping to ensure you pick up dried grit, hair, and dust that can be harder to catch with a wet mop.</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 often should you strip and wax a floor?

• <div><p>You should strip and wax hardwood floors every six months to two years. The actual length of time between stripping and waxing depends on the wear and tear that the floors see.

Bryce reconstructed both my master bath and bedroom after flooding. It wasn't just the floors involved, as he repaired the walls and painted, too. His work ethic, workmanship, and reliability was exceptional. Thank you! What a find!

A good experience. Richard Jones understood what we needed and met our tight schedule so we could show the house. They did a good job with bad floors. I think the pricing was fair considering the taking up tack strips, cleaning the floor, polishing over 600 or so square feet.
