Is steam mopping better than regular mopping?

• <div><p>Steam mopping might be better than regular mopping if you don’t use the right cleaning products or properly rinse or wring out the mop head. However, if you use the right techniques, regular mopping also sanitizes effectively—even if it takes more effort. Plus, you know you can use a regular mop on any flooring—including to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-laminate-floors.htm">clean laminate floors</a> or hardwood, which don’t do well with steam cleaning.</p></div>

Q: Are there low-maintenance materials available for indoors?

• <div><p>Yes, options like MDF or polyurethane require less upkeep while maintaining style.</p></div>

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: What should I do after removing the carpet?

• <div><p>After carpet removal, prepare for new flooring by assessing the subfloor. You will want to address any imperfections to create a smooth and level base for installation. Remember, proper subfloor preparation is crucial for optimal new flooring results. Consider repairing and replacing damaged areas for a stable foundation. For both wood and concrete subfloors, consider sanding to remove any debris or adhesives remaining thoroughly. </p></div>

Q: How long does cleaning and polishing take?

• <div><p>Services typically take 2-4 hours, depending on the area size and floor material.</p></div>
