Q: What is the best product for cleaning epoxy floors?

• <div><p>Most experts agree that the best thing with which to clean epoxy floors is a diluted mixture of ammonia and warm water. You can also use mild dish soap diluted with warm water or a degreaser (such as Simple Green or Goof Off) diluted with warm water. Some soap-based cleaners can leave a haze. If you notice this, further dilute the mixture with water or use a different detergent that does not leave a film. You should never use harsh cleaning chemicals, any type of acidic compound (such as vinegar or citrus-based cleansers), or harsh scrubbers like steel wool or hard bristle brushes.</p></div>

Q: Which type of flooring is best for the kitchen?

• <div><p>Impervious or vitreous tile and vinyl flooring work best for the kitchen. These surfaces are non-porous (or have a very low porosity) that can stand up against spills, splashes, and plumbing leaks. Some natural stones are also a good fit, but keep porosity in mind. You may need to seal them to avoid stains and water damage to the subfloor.</p></div>

Q: What type of carpet is the most expensive?

• <div><p>Berber is the most expensive type of carpet, followed by textured carpet. Berber costs $3 to $20 per square foot, and textured carpet ranges from $1 to $12 per square foot. Berber features fibers arranged in short, thick loops, making it extraordinarily durable. The most expensive carpet material is wool, followed by acrylic, Triexta, and cotton. Wool costs $4 to $20 per square foot and is a beautiful, luxurious, and durable material. Acrylic, Triexta, and cotton range from $2 to $8 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: How often should I replace my carpet in a home with kids and pets?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">The life span of carpet</a> in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material&rsquo;s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.</p></div>

The service was good and efficient in time. He was courteous and friendly. We got to see pictures of "the before" and "the after" on each duct. The floor vents were cleaned after the ducts were cleaned. We didn't realize how dirty the vents really were until this service was conducted.
