Why is my floor still sticky after mopping?

• <div><p>If your floor is still sticky after mopping, chances are you used too much or too little of the cleaning solution. Using too little won’t get all of the grime off, but using too much can leave its own residue. Refer to the cleaning solution’s instructions and dilute it as directed.</p></div>

What type of flooring is best for dogs, cats, and other pets?

• <div><p>Luxury <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/luxury-vinyl-flooring-good-choice-pets.htm">vinyl flooring is the best for pet owners</a>, as it holds up well against scratches and accidents. Non-slip stone or porcelain tile are great options as well. Each of these also provide a less slippery surface for pups that like to run around.</p><p>As for the flooring options to avoid, these are hardwood, laminate, and carpeting. Claws can scratch hardwood and tear up carpeting. On top of that, removing dog urine from hardwood floors can be difficult; likewise with carpeting. Laminate holds up much better, but it’s super slippery (especially for dogs).</p></div>

Q: What are common laminate flooring issues?

• <div><p>Common problems include scratches, warping, and separating seams. Regular cleaning and moisture control prevent most issues.</p></div>

Q: Does replacing flooring constitute a remodel?

• <div><p>No, replacing flooring is considered a renovation. You're updating an existing feature without changing the layout or structure of the space. However, it can be a remodel if extensive work is needed to update the subflooring.</p></div>

Q: Does damaged subfloor need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Dry rot or severe water damage may warrant a replacement, but you don&rsquo;t always need to replace damaged subflooring. If your subfloor has warped because it was installed incorrectly, you can sometimes shim the panels (in other words, add a thin, wedge-shaped piece of wood to level the surface). If your subfloor bows upward, you may be able to sand it down at the joist so it&rsquo;s level, depending on the extent of the damage. </p></div>

he left my house a mess!! Tracked mud all over, left water all over the bathroom floors, moved personal items and didn't return them, and left a (used ) toilet brush in my bathtub. Never returned our calls or responded to emails. Very unprofessional and not to be trusted in the house.
