Q: Can you clean laminate floors with baking soda or vinegar?

• <div><p>Yes. Baking soda and vinegar&mdash;when diluted with water&mdash;are safe to use to clean sticky laminate floors.</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: Is dish soap and vinegar good for cleaning floors?

• <div><p>You can use dish soap mixed with warm water to clean just about any type of flooring, and while vinegar is a great addition to some floor cleaners, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to use it on wood flooring or engineered wood flooring. Vinegar is very acidic, and it can gradually eat away at the protective finish on wood floors. If you&rsquo;re cleaning laminate, tile, concrete, or vinyl floors, feel free to use vinegar and water in a 1-to-1 ratio with a few drops of dish soap. For wood floors, substitute the vinegar for olive oil.</p></div>

Q: What additional home improvement tasks should I consider undertaking concurrently with shoe molding installation?

• <div><p>Before installing shoe molding, evaluate redoing or refinishing any floors and painting your walls or baseboard before putting on your shoe molding. If you don&rsquo;t already have baseboard trim, you should install that before adding shoe molding. Shoe molding is the final touch. Additionally, a carpenter or other professional that&rsquo;s installing shoe molding might also give you a deal on installing crown molding and replacing other trim if you get them done at the same time.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain tile surfaces?

• <div><p>Clean regularly with non-abrasive cleaners and reseal grout every 1-2 years to maintain durability.</p></div>
