Q: How do professionals clean laminate floors?

• <div><p>While every professional home cleaner will have their own preference, most will use a commercial floor cleaner specifically manufactured for laminate floors.

Some cleaners will also make a final pass with a dry and clean cloth to dry your laminate floors for a smooth shine.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best way to clean vinyl flooring?

• <div><p>The best way to clean vinyl floors is to vacuum or sweep away debris and then mop the floors using a mixture of warm water and dish soap or vinegar. You can also use store-bought cleaners if they&rsquo;re marked safe for vinyl surfaces. </p></div>

Q: Can I mix Bon Ami with vinegar?

• <div><p>While it is not recommended, you can mix Bon Ami with vinegar for a more powerful cleaning mixture. However, you should avoid mixing other types of powder cleaners, such as Comet and Ajax, with vinegar or with each other, as the reaction often creates a toxic gas that&rsquo;s dangerous to the human body.</p></div>

Q: How often should I polish my wood floors?

• <div><p>Wood floors should be polished every two to four months to maintain a shine and to keep them protected from daily wear and tear. More frequent maintenance includes dry mopping the floors daily and cleaning spills immediately, using a spray mop and cleaner weekly to remove any built up dirt or grime, and sanding and refinishing the floors every three to five years.</p></div>

Ordered garden soil with compost, delivered sand with compost, refuses to take responsibility and now I'm stuck with 9 tons of worthless soil. Had another landscaper come and evaluate the solid and said it was sand with some kind of compost material, unfit for growing anything!

They were very good and reasonably priced, because I did a lot of pricing before I used them. I just went out in my room and they had not done that one, it was hot and they were busy but they still went over there and did it real quick.

"Leon is the best!! In my six years of property management I've never seen an apartment so dirty and demolished. Leon came the next day and worked endlessly until the job was done. Him and his team were very polite and friendly. (Despite the horror inside) They took out all of the trash, broken fixtures, and even the carpet. And then cleaned the whole apartment!! I would recommend his company to anyone."
