What do professionals use to clean floors?

• <div><p>Professionals use various tools and cleaning solutions based on the type of floor they’re cleaning. They often use industrial steam cleaners to pull debris out of the carpet. For localized stains, they may use a commercial cleaner or a mixture of water, vinegar, and dish soap. For tile, they’ll typically use dish soap and hot water, plus a mixture of baking soda and hot water for the grout. For <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-and-maintain-hardwood-floors.htm">cleaning wood floors</a>, they might use a low-heat steamer, a mop with an oil wood floor cleaner, or a mixture of hot water, vinegar, and lemon juice.</p></div>

Q: What if the floor has only lost its luster and not been damaged or blemished?

• <div><p>Before starting on a full refinishing project, determine if your floors need to be completely sanded down to the bare wood or if the damage is shallow and mostly cosmetic. Deep scratches and gouges will require you to rough sand using a drum sander or belt sander, but small surface scratches or floors that have only lost their luster don&rsquo;t need a complete overhaul. Instead, you can skip the rough sanding step and sand-screen the old finish with a buffer, removing only the top layer of polyurethane.</p></div>

Q: Is steam cleaning more effective than traditional mopping?

• <div><p>Steam mops can be a better option than traditional mops because steam can lift even the most stubborn dirt from your floors without using chemicals. Steam can also kill bacteria and dust mites. However, steam mops are more expensive than traditional mops and require an electrical outlet to function, so they might not be ideal for everyone.</p></div>

Q: How often should you clean vinyl plank floors?

• <div><p>Clean your vinyl plank floors at least one to two times per week with a broom, vacuum, or microfiber mop. You can save the mopping and disinfecting for your deeper cleans about two to three times a month. Keep in mind that if you find sticky spots, spills, or stains, it's best to take care of them ASAP.</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>
