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: Can I use a floor grinder to remove paint from concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, but with caution. A floor grinder is intended to level and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-polish-concrete-floors.htm">polish concrete</a>, so it is a very powerful tool. To remove paint, the floor grinder should be set to 35 square feet per minute or less to minimize the pressure without the use of pocket weights. You might need to go over the surface two times to get any paint that has sunk into the concrete&rsquo;s pores.</p></div>

Q: How long does cleaning and polishing take?

• <div><p>Services typically take 2-4 hours, depending on the area size and floor material.</p></div>

Q: Can an existing concrete floor be polished?

• <div><p>Yes, you can polish an existing concrete floor&mdash;as long as the slab is structurally sound and in good shape. In fact, that&rsquo;s what makes this type of flooring upgrade so appealing. Polishing works best on bare concrete with minimal surface damage, although you can usually repair cracks and stains before the grinding and buffing begins. Instead of ripping out your existing concrete floor, polishing it can turn it into a high-shine showpiece that&rsquo;s both practical and sleek.</p></div>

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>
