What do professionals use to clean floors?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-and-maintain-hardwood-floors.htm">cleaning wood floors</a>, 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.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar remove candle wax?

• <div><p>Distilled white vinegar can help you remove candle wax from surfaces like countertops. You&rsquo;ll need to scrape off most of the wax and use the distilled white vinegar to help soften and remove the rest and leftover residue. Keep in mind that while it&rsquo;s possible, using distilled white vinegar isn&rsquo;t an effective method for removing wax compared to the methods listed above.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between buffing and polishing a floor?

• <div><p>Both buffing and polishing increase the longevity of your floors by removing scratches and buildup, but they are different processes. Polishing removes the top layer of your floor, removing surface-level scuffs and scratches. Buffing your floor involves filling the scratches and scuffs with a buffing solution. No matter which method you choose, you can rest assured that both techniques will leave your floor looking shiny and new. </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: Can an old cement floor be polished?

• <div><p>Yes, you can polish an old cement floor. However, be aware that the first pass with the concrete grinder may reveal a few surprises and imperfections. You may also have to contend with the consequences of previous floor coverings, such as tile or carpet, which can leave a pattern in the concrete. Old concrete is more likely to produce uneven results if you want to use a dye or other coloring.</p></div>

I hired Rylee to re-do my hard wood floors in a bedroom and downstairs living room. He made sure to keep the project on schedule and when problems arose, he would communicate with me in order to keep on track. He kept the workspace very tidy and made sure to minimize any damage to the walls....
