Is steam mopping better than regular mopping?

• <div><p>Steam mopping might be better than regular mopping if you don’t use the right cleaning products or properly rinse or wring out the mop head. However, if you use the right techniques, regular mopping also sanitizes effectively—even if it takes more effort. Plus, you know you can use a regular mop on any flooring—including to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-laminate-floors.htm">clean laminate floors</a> or hardwood, which don’t do well with steam cleaning.</p></div>

Q: Can you buff hardwood floors without refinishing?

• <div><p>You can buff out small scratches or indentations from your hardwood floor, but refinishing is your best bet if you have larger areas that need work. Floors in relatively good shape but have lost their luster can be restored with thorough buffing. If your finish has worn off in areas or if you have sun or water damage, you should go with refinishing instead.</p></div>

Q: What cleaners should not be used for vinyl floors?

• <div><p>You can embrace minimalism when it comes to cleaning vinyl plank flooring. Water or diluted vinegar both work great for mopping and are much better options than some other cleaners that can damage the protective coating on these floors. Ammonia or solvent-based polishes can both break down the top layer. Also, avoid &ldquo;mop-and-shine&rdquo; cleaners, which tend to leave behind residue on vinyl plank floors.</p></div>

Q: How do you maintain Marmoleum® floors?

• <div><p>You can regularly clean your Marmoleum&reg; flooring by sweeping, vacuuming, and damp mopping with a neutral cleaner. Avoid using highly abrasive materials or high-pH cleaners to prevent cracking, warping, or discoloration, and never wet mop, as heavy water exposure can damage the floors. Marmoleum&reg; floors have a topcoat called TopShield preinstalled, so you do not need to polish them.</p></div>

Q: How often should I polish my wood floors?

• <div><p>Wood floors should be polished every two to four months to maintain a shine and to keep them protected from daily wear and tear. More frequent maintenance includes dry mopping the floors daily and cleaning spills immediately, using a spray mop and cleaner weekly to remove any built up dirt or grime, and sanding and refinishing the floors every three to five years.</p></div>

Vanessa did a wonderful job on the deep cleaning of our home! We have lived here for a few years, and were recently away for five months, so we were definitely in need of a deep clean. Vanessa was thorough, communicative and kind. We would 100% hire here again. Thank you!

We could have simply replaced the wax ring (that was no longer existent), however, the toilet flange didn't have any flooring around it (it was not secured to anything). And, although the toilet itself didn't appear to be rocking (was on a solid tile floor), we felt it was a better solution to...
