It is possible to buff and polish your floors yourself, but DIY floor polishing is an extremely time-consuming process that isn’t particularly enjoyable. To do the work yourself, you’ll usually need to clean your floors, get on your hands and knees to apply polish manually with a cloth, and avoid puddles and oversaturation. Hiring a professional floor polisher is usually worthwhile because they have industrial equipment that buffs and polishes in a fraction of the time and usually leaves a more even coat.

If you would rather use vinegar to clean the stone fireplace instead of dish soap, this mixture should work fine. Vinegar is slightly acidic, however, so it may etch some kinds of stone without quite a bit of diluting. For a stone fireplace, dilute it to about one cup of vinegar for every gallon of hot water. It’s a smart idea to test the diluted mixture in an inconspicuous area of the fireplace and watch for etching. You can use vinegar to clean quite a few different items around your home, and it’s especially good at removing stains.
