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: What are the benefits of having my floors cleaned professionally?

• <div><p>There are many benefits to hiring a professional floor cleaner. First, these flooring pros know the right chemicals for your flooring type, which is essential for its longevity. Likewise, they have the proper deep-cleaning equipment, which is often more complex than a mop or broom. Not only that, but deep cleaning your floors can be a time-consuming process, and by hiring a professional, you can spend that time on other home improvement projects. </p></div>

Q: How do you make a no-rinse floor cleaner?

• <div><p>Most DIY floor cleaners don&rsquo;t require rinsing, but you&rsquo;ll want to make sure you don&rsquo;t add too much dish soap or oil to the cleaner to avoid having to rinse it after cleaning. For non-wood floors, mix 8 parts warm water, 1 part vinegar, and 1 part baking soda with a few drops of dish soap. For wood floors, use olive oil in that same mixture instead of the vinegar. You can let these solutions air-dry after cleaning your floors with them, although you should manually dry your floors if they aren&rsquo;t waterproof.</p></div>

Q: Can you clean laminate floors with baking soda or vinegar?

• <div><p>Yes. Baking soda and vinegar&mdash;when diluted with water&mdash;are safe to use to clean sticky laminate floors.</p></div>

Q: How much does floor cleaning and polishing cost for businesses?

• <div><p>Depending on flooring type and condition, costs range from $0.25 to $2 per square foot.</p></div>
