How long will tile flooring last?

• <div><p>Tile flooring will last anywhere from 10 to 20 years and even up to 30 years or more with proper care and maintenance. </p><p>You can help your tile floor achieve a longer lifespan by maintaining it properly. This includes cleaning it regularly (including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-tile-and-grout.htm">cleaning the tile floor grout</a>), keeping the floor dry, and not setting super heavy items on it to keep it from cracking. You'll also want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-regrouting-tile-flooring.htm">regrout your tile floor</a> every 10 years. Using a grout sealer will help your floor last longer.</p></div>

Can I reuse materials like blankets and towels for floor protection?

• <div><p>It’s possible to reuse household materials to cover floors, but they won’t provide the same level of protection as dedicated materials. They’re also more difficult to tape down and more prone to slipping and bunching up—and any dirt or debris on them could scratch or stain your floors. That being said, extra materials like these can be useful for protecting the sides of furniture and placing in areas that could use added protection.</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: What should I do after removing the carpet?

• <div><p>After carpet removal, prepare for new flooring by assessing the subfloor. You will want to address any imperfections to create a smooth and level base for installation. Remember, proper subfloor preparation is crucial for optimal new flooring results. Consider repairing and replacing damaged areas for a stable foundation. For both wood and concrete subfloors, consider sanding to remove any debris or adhesives remaining thoroughly. </p></div>

Q: What kind of bamboo is used for flooring?

• <div><p>Moso bamboo, <i>Phyllostachys edulis</i>, is the most commonly used species for bamboo flooring. Moso bamboo is native to China and Taiwan, and it was later introduced to Japan and then the United States. In addition to flooring, Moso bamboo is used in textile production, and the shoots are edible. Moso is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, which is why it&rsquo;s an affordable and sustainable option compared to traditional hardwood.</p></div>
