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: How do I hire a house cleaner?

• <div><p>There are several steps to hiring a professional house cleaner, starting with searching online for house cleaning services near you and reviewing their company websites and social media accounts to get a better understanding of their business. Read online customer reviews and call to ask about the services they offer and how much they charge. Always do your research before choosing a cleaning service to ensure it&rsquo;s the right fit for you.</p></div>

Q: Is a house supposed to be clean when you buy it?

• <div><p>Unless it&rsquo;s written into the purchase agreement, there&rsquo;s no legal obligation that a house you&rsquo;ve bought has to be clean before you move in. The previous owner is generally required to sweep the house, but that doesn&rsquo;t guarantee everything will be spotless upon your arrival. If possible, discuss the cleaning requirements with the real estate company before moving in.</p></div>
