"The people who came were hard workers. However, there was still some shadows (ghosting on the walls) they couldn't clean. I didn't like the steam cleaning because it took a few days to dry and was somewhat messy."
"They were timely with appointments. Floors look great! They explained everything we needed to know. Their working with our schedule was very nice. Their price was right. Left the house clean and in order. Would use them again."
"ServiceMaster was efficient and cleaned two entire homes for me. They are friendly and very trustworthy. I would highly recommend them for anything you need cleaned. Wonderful group of people and I would definitely hire them again."
"I've been working with Steadfast Cleaning since the pandemic. During those times, their team was very mindful and provided a clean safe environment for our pizzerias with monthly cleanings. It helped during a time of being shorthanded, as well as ensuring we had a safe space. Staffing since has been better at our stores and we're able to handle the day to day cleanings a lot more, so we've moved to deep cleanings with steadfast. They are very good at what they do and take the time to ensure that everything is A1. Anytime there has been an issue or concern, they handle it with the upmost professionalism. I recommend them 10/10 to handle any cleaning need for kitchen/office."
"2nd time we have used Restoration Tile & Grout for our home. Both times the work has been performed well and on time. Dan provided us with the quote and scheduling. Nick did the work at our home. We had kitchen & hallway tile cleaned and grout cleaned, sealed and repaired where needed. Also 3 bathroom floors and one shower stall tiles cleaned and grout cleaned, sealed and repaired where needed. Nick did an excellent job. Would definitely recommend Restoration Tile & Grout. Also they use an epoxy grout sealer and the other other companies we received quotes from use acrylic (water based) sealers and their quotes were higher."
Floor Cleaning and Waxing questions, answered by experts
Commonly used in garages, epoxy is a synthetic resin coating that goes over the top of concrete surfaces. If you’re deciding between polished concrete and epoxy flooring, the best choice depends on your needs and personal preference. Epoxy is durable and highly customizable, while polished concrete tends to require less maintenance. They’re both long-lasting with similar price points, and professional installation is recommended for each.
Steam mops can be a better option than traditional mops because the steam can lift stubborn dirt from floors without using chemicals, and it also kills bacteria and dust mites. However, steam mops have drawbacks: they are more expensive, require an electrical outlet, and are not suitable for all flooring types, such as laminate or hardwood, which can be damaged by the steam.
Regular mopping can also sanitize floors effectively when done with the right cleaning products and techniques, though it may require more effort. The main advantage of a traditional mop is its versatility, as it can be used on any type of flooring. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your floor type, budget, and cleaning preferences.
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’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’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.
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’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’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.
To properly maintain and care for hardwood floors without damaging the finish, establish a regular cleaning routine. Sweep with a broom or microfiber dust mop daily, or vacuum weekly, to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface; be sure to clean in tight corners and under furniture. For a deeper clean, use a damp mop with a cleaner specifically designed for hardwood floors, but avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the wood. You can further protect your floors by placing mats at entryways to catch dirt and moisture and putting felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches. For long-term care, refinish the floors as needed to keep them looking their best.
