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: 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: What cleaners should not be used for vinyl floors?

• <div><p>You can embrace minimalism when it comes to cleaning vinyl plank flooring. Water or diluted vinegar both work great for mopping and are much better options than some other cleaners that can damage the protective coating on these floors. Ammonia or solvent-based polishes can both break down the top layer. Also, avoid &ldquo;mop-and-shine&rdquo; cleaners, which tend to leave behind residue on vinyl plank floors.</p></div>

Q: How long do polished concrete floors last?

• <div><p>If properly installed and maintained, polished concrete floors can last 50 years or longer. Concrete can be a difficult material to handle, requiring expert knowledge in mixing and application. Make sure you&rsquo;re working with a licensed masonry contractor and that you&rsquo;re investing in an annual deep cleaning to maintain its life span.</p></div>

Q: How do you maintain hardwood floors?

• <div><p>Keep your floors clean by sweeping or vacuuming them weekly to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface. Mats at entryways are also a good idea to catch excess dirt and moisture before it reaches the floors. Additionally, pads under furniture legs will help protect your floors from scratches. </p></div>

The Work performed by Kevin was excellent. He power cleaned and scraped off the old paint efficiently. Then on another day when the weather was sunny and bright, he painted all 3 decks and completed the job promptly and very well. We will surely be using his services again.

It was outstanding! He knew the chemistry of paint. He had a keen sense of color blending/matching. The quality of the work was meticulous. He was very clean (no paint spilled). He also can cut a fine paint line like no other. The price is definitely worth what you get.
