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 often should I have my floors cleaned?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re doing regular cleaning&mdash;like vacuuming and mopping&mdash;<b>once every two weeks</b>, then call in a professional floor cleaner about <b>twice per year</b> to complete a deep clean. A deep clean service includes cleaning the grout between tiles, removing stains from carpets, and addressing water spots or other discoloration on wood floors. You may want to consider getting your floors professionally cleaned more often if you have children or pets that leave messes. In those cases, once per quarter or even more frequently is probably a better option.</p></div>

Q: Can I polish stone surfaces myself?

• <div><p>DIY kits exist, but professional services ensure even polishing, stain removal, and proper sealing for long-lasting protection.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain vinyl or linoleum floors?

• <div><p>Regular sweeping, damp mopping, and avoiding harsh chemicals help maintain their appearance.</p></div>

Q: Is dish soap and vinegar good for cleaning floors?

• <div><p>You can use dish soap mixed with warm water to clean just about any type of flooring, and while vinegar is a great addition to some floor cleaners, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to use it on wood flooring or engineered wood flooring. Vinegar is very acidic, and it can gradually eat away at the protective finish on wood floors. If you&rsquo;re cleaning laminate, tile, concrete, or vinyl floors, feel free to use vinegar and water in a 1-to-1 ratio with a few drops of dish soap. For wood floors, substitute the vinegar for olive oil.</p></div>

It all began with a very tired-looking kitchen. I didn't have high expectations for the "wow" factor, but I was wrong. I ended up "wowed" by the contractor, the extremely reasonable cost and my new kitchen. One of the things I liked most about working with Tom was his insistence on quality. He...
