Why is my floor still sticky after mopping?

• <div><p>If your floor is still sticky after mopping, chances are you used too much or too little of the cleaning solution. Using too little won’t get all of the grime off, but using too much can leave its own residue. Refer to the cleaning solution’s instructions and dilute it as directed.</p></div>

Q: How do you clean hardwood floors without damaging the finish?

• <div><p>To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-care-your-hardwood-floor.htm">care for hardwood floors</a> and avoid damaging the finish, establish a regular cleaning routine. Sweep up loose dust and debris with a broom or microfiber dust mop daily to prevent debris from scratching the surface of the wood. Vacuum weekly, being sure to get into tight corners and under furniture. </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: Do services include waxing?

• <div><p>Yes, many services offer waxing as part of the polishing process. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: Can you use bleach on Dekton?

• <div><p>No, you cannot use bleach on Dekton. Avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning and treating Dekton. Such chemicals are unnecessary since Dekton is highly stain-resistant and nonporous. Instead, use a mild solution of water and soap or vinegar when cleaning your Dekton countertops and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.</p></div>

Condescending and rude. Didn't know why the floor drain was backing up in my basement; but had all kinds of "possibilities", none of which he could help me with ("the neighbors sewage is backing up into my basement", "the manholes on the street are plugged up", blah, blah, blah). I'd be...
