Is steam mopping better than regular mopping?

• <div><p>Steam mopping might be better than regular mopping if you don’t use the right cleaning products or properly rinse or wring out the mop head. However, if you use the right techniques, regular mopping also sanitizes effectively—even if it takes more effort. Plus, you know you can use a regular mop on any flooring—including to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-laminate-floors.htm">clean laminate floors</a> or hardwood, which don’t do well with steam cleaning.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to mop hardwood floors?

• <div><p>Yes, you can mop hardwood floors with a damp flat or string mop as long as it is not soaking wet. Always avoid leaving standing water or fully soaking your hardwood floors, even if they are properly finished. A slightly wet mop, with or without cleaning solutions, will not damage the wood.</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: How do professionals clean laminate floors?

• <div><p>While every professional home cleaner will have their own preference, most will use a commercial floor cleaner specifically manufactured for laminate floors. They will also use a vacuum or microfiber cloth to remove loose grit before breaking out the mop. Some cleaners will also make a final pass with a dry and clean cloth to dry your laminate floors for a smooth shine.</p></div>

Q: Can I clean and polish floors myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small areas. Professional services provide deep cleaning and a polished finish for larger spaces.</p></div>

Our water softener had a leak. Dry Medic came right out, the same day I called them, and assessed the extent of the water damage. They immediately made a plan to dry out the floor. Upon returning to get their equipment they left everything neat and tidy. Thanks so much Scott and Tim!!!
