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: How long does it take to strip and wax floors?

• <div><p>The answer to this question depends on how large the room is and how much experience you have stripping and waxing floors. It will take at least 24 hours to strip the floors, then you must allow time for drying, waxing, waiting for them to cure, and, finally, buffing them. Since you likely will not be working for the full 24 hours, it is safe to say that this is a two- or three-day job.</p></div>

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>

Floor Cleaning and Waxing questions, answered by experts

Professionals use various tools and cleaning solutions based on the type of floor they’re cleaning. They often use industrial steam cleaners to pull debris out of the carpet. For localized stains, they may use a commercial cleaner or a mixture of water, vinegar, and dish soap. For tile, they’ll typically use dish soap and hot water, plus a mixture of baking soda and hot water for the grout. For cleaning wood floors, they might use a low-heat steamer, a mop with an oil wood floor cleaner, or a mixture of hot water, vinegar, and lemon juice.

The cost to polish floors averages around $200 per room, but you could pay anywhere from $100 to $300. Some factors that influence the total cost of floor polishing include the following:

Square footage of flooring
Type of floor
Whether you need floor repairs done beforehand
Whether or not you want professional floor cleaning done beforehand

Since square footage is the most significant cost factor, you might get a more accurate estimate by using the average cost per square foot for floor polishing, which is between $1.00 and $2.50.
