Q: Can I buff my floors myself?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-buff-hardwood-floor.htm">buff your floors yourself</a> if you have plenty of time, patience, and know-how. This intermediate-level DIY project requires either buying or renting a floor buffer and purchasing a buffing solution. This process can be time-consuming and, if not done correctly, can leave burn-like marks on your floor. </p><p>To ensure this job is done correctly without damaging your floors, consider hiring a professional floor buffer and polisher instead. You might save money on labor costs by DIYing this project, but you could spend more on repairs if not done correctly. </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>

Q: How do you shine waxed floors?

• <div><p>If you have waxed floors or floors with a penetrating stain or oil, you can shine them up with some more wax and a cloth or floor buffer. After cleaning the floor thoroughly, apply wax to the floor in small sections and use a clean, dry cloth or towel to buff it until it shines. You can also use an electric polisher, which is especially handy for large floors.</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: Can I use a floor grinder to remove paint from concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, but with caution. A floor grinder is intended to level and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-polish-concrete-floors.htm">polish concrete</a>, so it is a very powerful tool. To remove paint, the floor grinder should be set to 35 square feet per minute or less to minimize the pressure without the use of pocket weights. You might need to go over the surface two times to get any paint that has sunk into the concrete&rsquo;s pores.</p></div>
