Why is my floor still sticky after mopping?

• <div><p>If your floor is still sticky after mopping, chances are you used too much or too little of the cleaning solution. Using too little won’t get all of the grime off, but using too much can leave its own residue. Refer to the cleaning solution’s instructions and dilute it as directed.</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>

Q: Will a floor polisher remove scratches?

• <div><p>A floor polisher won&rsquo;t remove scratches from a wood floor, but the polish can fill in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-wood-floor-scratches.htm">surface scratches</a> and make them all but invisible. If you run your fingernail gently over the scratch and it doesn&rsquo;t catch, chances are that the polish will hide it. If it does catch, you might want to have your floors fully refinished, and you might need to have a professional floor sander in for particularly deep scratches. When in doubt, call a professional floor polisher to determine if polish will fill in your scratches or if you need more in-depth services.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar remove candle wax?

• <div><p>Distilled white vinegar can help you remove candle wax from surfaces like countertops. You&rsquo;ll need to scrape off most of the wax and use the distilled white vinegar to help soften and remove the rest and leftover residue. Keep in mind that while it&rsquo;s possible, using distilled white vinegar isn&rsquo;t an effective method for removing wax compared to the methods listed above.</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>

"I have three house dogs and a husband. My father passed and mother needs considerable care. I work part time. I have not had the physical or emotional energy to clean my house since February. Licensed, bonded and insured, TAS returned my call the same day I contacted them. They arrived as scheduled with their own equipment and immediately set to work. The owner and her team, each with her specific area, cleaned my house top to bottom.. Literally!! From polishing the crown molding in my living room to washing all the baseboards! My house looks amazing and I feel encouraged.
