• <div><p>Common options include hardwood, tile, and vinyl floors. Professionals tailor methods to the specific material.</p></div>

Q: Is steam cleaning more effective than traditional mopping?

• <div><p>Steam mops can be a better option than traditional mops because steam can lift even the most stubborn dirt from your floors without using chemicals. Steam can also kill bacteria and dust mites. However, steam mops are more expensive than traditional mops and require an electrical outlet to function, so they might not be ideal for everyone.</p></div>

Q: Is polished concrete or epoxy better?

• <div><p>Commonly used in garages, epoxy is a synthetic resin coating that goes over the top of concrete surfaces. If you&rsquo;re deciding between polished concrete and epoxy flooring, the best choice depends on your needs and personal preference.

They&rsquo;re both long-lasting with similar price points, and professional installation is recommended for each. </p></div>
