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>

Q: What is the best solution for mopping floors?

• <div><p>The best solution for mopping floors depends on the type of floor you have, but a good all-around or multi-purpose DIY floor cleaner is 2 cups of warm water, 5 to 10 drops of liquid dish soap, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. This is safe to use on tile, laminate, wood, polished concrete, vinyl, and more, as it&rsquo;s relatively neutral and lacks caustic and abrasive chemicals that could be harmful to children and pets. You can also use a multi-purpose commercial cleaner, but make sure to follow the directions for safety.</p></div>

Q: Will buffing remove scratches?

• <div><p>Buffing will only remove scratches at the surface level of your flooring. You may also need to apply hardwood floor wax to restore the wax layer. To remove deeper scratches, you&rsquo;ll need another floor repair method like sanding; however, if you sand the floor, you&rsquo;ll also need to stain and seal it. </p></div>

Q: What types of floors can be cleaned and polished?

• <div><p>Common options include hardwood, tile, and vinyl floors. Professionals tailor methods to the specific material.</p></div>

Q: How long do polished concrete floors last?

• <div><p>If properly installed and maintained, polished concrete floors can last 50 years or longer. Concrete can be a difficult material to handle, requiring expert knowledge in mixing and application. Make sure you&rsquo;re working with a licensed masonry contractor and that you&rsquo;re investing in an annual deep cleaning to maintain its life span.</p></div>

The hardwood cleaning equipment did not get into the corners well and no one cleaned that area manually. The carpets were still so dirty that I had to have another carpet cleaner re-clean them. The second cleaning brought out an enormous amount of dirt.

They gave us an estimate first and stuck to it. The only problem I had was a tile broke when they were loading the truck so I had to wait an extra week, but that couldn't be helped. Other than that, it was great.
