Different floors have different floor cleaning needs<\/a>. Today we wanted to share some tips on cleaning<\/span> the<\/span> different types of floors in your McKeesport<\/span>,<\/span> PA home. <\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps the best tip we can offer <\/span>is<\/span> to give us a call and let us handle the dirty work for you, but <\/span>if you\u2019re looking to get a start on your own, <\/span>here are some strategies for cleaning and maintaining <\/span>the <\/span>different types of floors in your home. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bamboo Floors<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bamboo floors can be especially difficult to maintain due to their thin fibers. For proper floor cleaning, sweep vigorously and often. For a deep floor cleaning solution, use a mixture PH-neutral soap and water. Apply a light amount of water to your broom, making it damp, and sweep your floors. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ceramic Tile Floors<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

First, do an initial sweep of the floors to remove loose debris and dirt. Next use a soft mop with a mixture of water and a small amount of dish soap, making sure to change the water if it becomes too cloudy. You can simply let the floor air dry afterwards. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Linoleum Floors<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Linoleum floors lose their glossy top layer after enduring foot traffic for long periods of time. First<\/span>,<\/span> do a thorough sweep. Second, apply a commercial<\/span>–<\/span>grade floor polishing solution. You may have to re-polish certain areas that are more worn than others. <\/span><\/p>\n

Marble and Granite Floors<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

M<\/span>ake sure to sweep these floors regularly. On top of that<\/span>,<\/span> you can use a soft mop along with a mixture of warm water, stone cleaner, and mild detergent to keep these floors looking their best. Make sure to keep the area wet while working<\/span> with<\/span> any items that might scratch your floors like steel wool <\/span>or<\/span> scrubbing pads. <\/span>D<\/span>on\u2019t use any die<\/span>–<\/span>containing products<\/span>,<\/span> as they might stain your floors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vinyl Flooring<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To clean your vinyl floors, combine a quarter cup of vinegar, water, and a drop of dish soap into a spray bottle. Then use a microfiber mop to clean your floors after \u201cspritzing\u201d them with the solution. <\/span><\/p>\n
