Q: Will buffing remove scratches?

• <div><p>Buffing will only remove scratches at the surface level of your flooring. You may also need to apply hardwood floor wax to restore the wax layer. To remove deeper scratches, you&rsquo;ll need another floor repair method like sanding; however, if you sand the floor, you&rsquo;ll also need to stain and seal it. </p></div>

Q: Is dish soap and vinegar good for cleaning floors?

• <div><p>You can use dish soap mixed with warm water to clean just about any type of flooring, and while vinegar is a great addition to some floor cleaners, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to use it on wood flooring or engineered wood flooring. Vinegar is very acidic, and it can gradually eat away at the protective finish on wood floors. If you&rsquo;re cleaning laminate, tile, concrete, or vinyl floors, feel free to use vinegar and water in a 1-to-1 ratio with a few drops of dish soap. For wood floors, substitute the vinegar for olive oil.</p></div>

Q: What neutralizes dog urine on hardwood?

• <div><p>Baking soda is an excellent choice for a natural dog urine neutralizer. You can sprinkle it on a stain, leave it overnight, and then vacuum it in the morning to help rid your hardwoods of the dog urine smell. Hydrogen peroxide is another odor neutralizer, but be careful not to mix it with other household cleaners.</p></div>

Q: Do vinegar and water strip wax?

• <div><p>Yes, vinegar and water can strip wax. For a DIY wax stripper, mix about a quarter cup of vinegar with one gallon of warm water. You can also mix one cup of cream of tartar, one cup of white vinegar, and one gallon of water. Before using it on a large area of the floor, you should test it in an inconspicuous place to make sure it works like you want it to.</p></div>

Q: Is it expensive to polish a concrete floor?

• <div><p>Polishing a concrete floor isn&rsquo;t as expensive as it sounds&mdash;it&rsquo;s actually one of the more budget-friendly upscale flooring options out there. On average, it costs <b>$4,500</b>, with most projects falling between <b>$1,000 </b>and <b>$8,000</b> . When you&rsquo;re working with an existing slab of concrete, you skip material costs entirely, so it&rsquo;s even more affordable. If you want a glossy, durable floor without paying hardwood or tile prices, polished concrete delivers serious shine without the sticker shock.</p></div>

"High quality work!! We needed some board replaced on our deck and he did a fantastic job and cleaned up his mess so well - deck cleaning could be another service they offer!!! Very pleased with the work and the price. I knew up front what it would cost and he allowed me to make changes when he arrived to do the work. The estimate was fair and he worked very hard - and late into the evening to finish up the deck. Would certainly recommend Dallas!!"
