You can use dish soap mixed with warm water to clean just about any type of flooring, and while vinegar is a great addition to some floor cleaners, it’s not a good idea to use it on wood flooring or engineered wood flooring. Vinegar is very acidic, and it can gradually eat away at the protective finish on wood floors. If you’re cleaning laminate, tile, concrete, or vinyl floors, feel free to use vinegar and water in a 1-to-1 ratio with a few drops of dish soap. For wood floors, substitute the vinegar for olive oil.

There is value in hiring a professional maid service. First and foremost, having a professional maid service helps save your time; after all, no one wants to spend an entire weekend cleaning their home.

It’s also important to consider that your maid service can get to time-intensive projects like deep-cleaning the fridge or carpets.

Cleaning typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the property size and debris amount.
