Mopping a wood floor with soap and water is deadly damage to the floor and certainly to the finish. Water should NEVER be used on wood.

use a manufacturer approved floor cleaner and never mop or pour it on.

What types of cleaning machines are out there?

There are lots of various cleaning machines available, ranging from floor cleaners such as buffers and shampoo vacuums, to steam cleaners which can be used on almost every surface. More information could be given with better definition of what kind of job the machine was for.


Is engineered wood flooring or wood flooring better.?

Engineered flooring is a type of flooring that comes under the wood flooring category. You can get engineered flooring done at your home as it is non susceptible to water and can withstand any pressure. It keeps a normal temperature irrespective of any weather conditions. Cleaning is also not an issue. Thus, engineered flooring is a great option if you have been planning to get flooring done for your house or office.


Is it better to glue down or float an engineered floor?

engineered floors such as pergo or Armstrong should float on a supplied pad because the will expand and contract with weather conditions


What is better engineered wood or bamboo for floating floor?

"Wood" is a general term. Many different types of wood are made in engineered flooring. Bamboo is generally considered to be soft. People express problems with scratching. Although this can be true with some types of wood as well. Assuming the engineered wood and bamboo flooring are the same quality as far as their construction, the next thing you need to do is refer to is the Janka Hardness scale. See how the species of wood rates in comparison to bamboo. Many sales people have been misinformed about the property of bamboo. It is a great looking floor, but has its disadvantages too.


Difference between engineering and Non engineering products?

Engineered products are products designed to meet a particular design criteria. Non-engineered products are products that were not specifically engineered for a particular design criteria. The structural wood products industry is a good example of engnieered and non-engineered products. Lumber and heavy timbers are good examples of non-engineered materials that are used in construction. Specifically, lumber or timber is a product that is cut from logs. Lumber is not designed, although we test lumber and have design values that apply to many types of lumber. There exists natural variation in lumber so the way we come up with reasonable design values is test a reasonable size sample of lumber, determine the statistical variation of the test results, then assign a conservative material value to allow it to be used structurally. In contrast, plywood, OSB, I-joists, laminated veneered lumber, parallel strand lumber and glulam are engineered wood products. Those products were designed to be used in certain structural applications. The design of the products was thought out, typically combining a mixture of different smaller layers or materials, combined with structural connectors, typically adhesives, or small nails or screws. These products often use the best properties of the individual products to come up with a better mix. These products often have a higher strength to weight ratio when compared with non-engineered products. Other engineered products include rolled steel shapes, bar-joists, metal decking, reinforced concrete, plastics, composites and fibers. I hope this has been helpful.

What is the best for concrete cleaning acid or alkaline?

Alkaline cleaners are generally more effective and safer for cleaning concrete than acid cleaners. Acidic cleaners can etch and damage the surface of the concrete if not used properly. Alkaline cleaners are better at breaking down oils and grease commonly found on concrete surfaces.

Why are cleaners more alkaline?

Cleaners are more alkaline because alkaline substances are better at breaking down grease, oil, and dirt compared to acidic substances. The high pH of alkaline cleaners allows them to emulsify and lift these types of stains effectively, making them a preferred choice for cleaning tasks that involve heavy soiling.


Is acidic cleaner or alkaline cleaner better for cleaning lead residue?

Alkaline cleaners are more effective at removing lead residue compared to acidic cleaners. Alkaline solutions can help solubilize lead compounds for easier removal, while acidic cleaners may react with the lead residue to form insoluble salts that are harder to remove.


Are all stoves self cleaners?

What are the differences between Clorox and Pine-Sol cleaners, and which one is more effective for cleaning various surfaces?

Clorox and Pine-Sol cleaners have different active ingredients and scents. Clorox contains bleach, which is effective for disinfecting and whitening surfaces. Pine-Sol contains pine oil, which is a natural cleaner with a fresh scent. The choice between the two depends on the surface being cleaned - Clorox is better for disinfecting and whitening, while Pine-Sol is better for general cleaning and deodorizing.
