"The whole process was smooth from beginning to end. They moved all the furniture and stored it carefully in the area I designated. Their team did an excellent job and were easy to work with during the entire process. They fixed / replaced flooring where it was damaged and made new thresholds where they did not feel they could properly sand the existing ones in place. The new threshold is solid oak and even looks better than the original. The floors look amazing and brand new even though they are over 100 years old. I will be using them again in the fall to do the remaining rooms! They were great!"

"I was thrilled with the cleanup of the bath tub and regrouting. Prior to the cleaning the tub was full of slime and scum, and just utterly disgusting to be in. After the technician’s cleaning, it was like new and no longer slippery. The cleaning of the tile was also excellent, leaving our bathroom to look like new. I couldn’t recommend this company and the quality and professionalism more. It truly feels like a bathroom remodel the way that the results came out."

"A friend of mine recently used Gemini and raved about Dana's work. After confirming this on Angie's List I had to call. He quoted me a price over the phone and was able to come to my home the next day at 7:30am. The next morning, Dana called me at 7am to tell me he was running late. I really appreciated the courtesy of the phone call since I told him he had to be done by 8:30am. Turns out he was only about 5 minutes late. He and his partner worked quickly to complete the job by 8:25am (I had another appointment at 9am). But they didn't cut any corners. They really took their time with stubborn stains. My carpets haven't been cleaned in over a year but they look pretty awesome now. I'll definitely use them again. Thanks Gemini!"

"The partners arrived on time and immediately explained what they were going to do to my floors. The owner started on his knees cleaning the grout and clean every nick and granny by hand. He was ver detailed. I would use this company and highly recommend them. They are very professional moving furniture and replacing it when the job was completed. They were very thorough and were willing to redo any of the provided work but it wasn’t necessary. I am planning to use them again for carpet cleaning. They do what they say and their work speaks for itself."

Floor Cleaning and Waxing FAQs, answered by experts

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. Stripping and waxing floors can help repair hardwood floor damage and give the room a fresh look.

While every professional home cleaner will have their own preference, most will use a commercial floor cleaner specifically manufactured for laminate floors. They will also use a vacuum or microfiber cloth to remove loose grit before breaking out the mop. Some cleaners will also make a final pass with a dry and clean cloth to dry your laminate floors for a smooth shine.

There are many benefits to hiring a professional floor cleaner. First, these flooring pros know the right chemicals for your flooring type, which is essential for its longevity. Likewise, they have the proper deep-cleaning equipment, which is often more complex than a mop or broom. Not only that, but deep cleaning your floors can be a time-consuming process, and by hiring a professional, you can spend that time on other home improvement projects.

Besides feeling icky grit when walking barefoot in your home, not mopping the floors can create health risks. Pollen, dirt, dust, and overall filth lead to allergen, bacteria, and even mold buildup, polluting your home and creating an unhygienic environment. You also risk damaging the floors due to stains and scratches with neglect. Lastly, your home will become less inviting due to odors from the lack of cleaning.

Professionals use various tools and cleaning solutions based on the type of floor they’re cleaning. They often use industrial steam cleaners to pull debris out of the carpet. For localized stains, they may use a commercial cleaner or a mixture of water, vinegar, and dish soap. For tile, they’ll typically use dish soap and hot water, plus a mixture of baking soda and hot water for the grout. For cleaning wood floors, they might use a low-heat steamer, a mop with an oil wood floor cleaner, or a mixture of hot water, vinegar, and lemon juice.
