Get matched with top floor cleaners and waxers in Warwick, NY

Q: What is the difference between buffing and polishing a floor?

• <div><p>Both buffing and polishing increase the longevity of your floors by removing scratches and buildup, but they are different processes. Polishing removes the top layer of your floor, removing surface-level scuffs and scratches. Buffing your floor involves filling the scratches and scuffs with a buffing solution. No matter which method you choose, you can rest assured that both techniques will leave your floor looking shiny and new. </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: 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: Does a magic eraser remove candle wax?

• <div><p>Yes, a magic eraser can remove candle wax. You can use it to remove all the candle wax from start to finish. Another option is to remove all large clumps with a dull knife and then pull out your magic eraser to finish the job. However, while the results can be impressive, a magic eraser shouldn&rsquo;t be used on all surfaces since it can potentially damage them. If you try this method, test a small, hidden spot first and proceed cautiously.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance keeps stone surfaces looking their best?

• <div><p>Maintenance includes regular cleaning with appropriate products, periodic sealing to protect against staining and wear, and addressing minor issues before they escalate.</p></div>

"I cannot say enough about Angela & Dennis. We found them on Angi for an emergency couch cleaning (our darling dog peed on our suede couch) and they were so flexible, professional, fast and saved my couch! This team is the ABSOLUTE best. We have had them come in for 2 couch cleans, a carpet clean, and a deep apartment clean, and let me tell you, there is truly no other team we'd let clean our apartment!!! And I mean it!! We have now retained them for monthly cleaning services as well. Angela and Dennis are the kindest souls and will give you the best service. They even moved a pesky piece of furniture for me which saved me $100s. I cannot recommend them enough - HIRE THEM FOR ALL YOUR CLEANING NEEDS! Keep up the amazing work!"
