Q: How long does stone polishing take?

• <div><p>Most jobs take 4-8 hours, but larger areas or heavily damaged surfaces may require multiple sessions.</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>

Q: Do services include waxing?

• <div><p>Yes, many services offer waxing as part of the polishing process. Confirm with your provider.</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>

Very professional and listened to my concerns. Did a great job putting down my flooring. Came back and took care of some issues. They put down vinyl planks, that look like wood, but are more durable. They’ll do a good job for you. Tania and another installer were great.
