How do I keep my floors spotless?

• <div><p>Now that you know the true pleasure of a squeaky-clean floor, you’re probably wondering how to keep floors clean between mop days. Here are the best tips to keep your floor looking spotless:</p><ul><li><p>Give floors a quick daily swipe with a microfiber mop.</p></li><li><p>Keep a spray bottle of your cleaning solution on hand to use as needed.</p></li><li><p>Sweep daily and vacuum once or twice a week.</p></li><li><p>Clean up spills and messes as soon as they happen.</p></li><li><p>Place a doormat at each entrance to your home to reduce mud tracking.</p></li><li><p>Consider enforcing a “no shoes inside” policy.</p></li><li><p>Wash your pet’s paws before letting them back inside.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What rooms should not have carpet?

• <div><p>Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a new tile floor over an old tile floor?

• <div><p>Yes. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-tile-over-tile.htm">tile over tile</a> if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it&rsquo;s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor. </p></div>

Q: Does carpet tile need padding?

• <div><p>Because carpet tiles are designed to adhere to the subfloor directly, it&rsquo;s usually not a good idea to install padding under them. Some carpet tiles come with padding attached to the tile if you prefer a cushier walking experience. In some cases, you can use a compact underlayment beneath your tiles, but you would likely need help from a pro to accomplish this type of installation. </p></div>

Q: How often should you strip and wax a floor?

• <div><p>You should strip and wax hardwood floors every six months to two years. The actual length of time between stripping and waxing depends on the wear and tear that the floors see.
