Q: Does vinegar remove candle wax?

• <div><p>Distilled white vinegar can help you remove candle wax from surfaces like countertops. You&rsquo;ll need to scrape off most of the wax and use the distilled white vinegar to help soften and remove the rest and leftover residue. Keep in mind that while it&rsquo;s possible, using distilled white vinegar isn&rsquo;t an effective method for removing wax compared to the methods listed above.</p></div>

Q: Is steam cleaning more effective than traditional mopping?

• <div><p>Steam mops can be a better option than traditional mops because steam can lift even the most stubborn dirt from your floors without using chemicals. Steam can also kill bacteria and dust mites. However, steam mops are more expensive than traditional mops and require an electrical outlet to function, so they might not be ideal for everyone.</p></div>

Q: Will a floor polisher remove scratches?

• <div><p>A floor polisher won&rsquo;t remove scratches from a wood floor, but the polish can fill in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-wood-floor-scratches.htm">surface scratches</a> and make them all but invisible. If you run your fingernail gently over the scratch and it doesn&rsquo;t catch, chances are that the polish will hide it. If it does catch, you might want to have your floors fully refinished, and you might need to have a professional floor sander in for particularly deep scratches. When in doubt, call a professional floor polisher to determine if polish will fill in your scratches or if you need more in-depth services.</p></div>

Q: How much does professional floor cleaning cost?

• <div><p>The cost for professional floor cleaning is <b>$250</b> on average. This cost can range from <b>$100 to $1,500</b>, depending on the type of flooring and its square footage. </p><p>For example, natural stone flooring requires specialized techniques and care, so you'll spend closer to the higher end of the cost range. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-cleaning-tile-and-grout-cost.htm">cost of cleaning tile and grout</a> is more cost-effective, where you'll pay an average of <b>$0.50 to $3.50</b> <b>per square foot</b>.</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>

They did an excellent job, showed up on time, cleaned up after they finished. My garage floor looks wonderful , it was crumbly, cement loose and flaking, little stones all over. Now it is clean and pretty!
