Tile floors
Remove grit, then mop mild.
- 1.Sweep or vacuum loose dirt.
- 2.Mop with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap—or use a pH-neutral cleaner.
Tip: Avoid harsh acids such as vinegar. They can weaken grout.
How We Clean / Floors
Floors are not one surface, so we don’t treat them like one.
Tile, hardwood, vinyl, rugs, and carpet each respond to a different amount of water, pressure, product, and movement.
The method starts by removing loose dirt. From there, the floor itself decides what happens next.

The surface changes what we do and how, a lot.
The first step is always to remove loose dirt, preferably with a handheld vacuum—it’s much faster and more effective than a broom. What happens next depends on the material under the team’s feet.
Hardwood floors
Mist lightly. Follow the grain.
- 1.Sweep or vacuum loose grit with a hard-floor attachment.
- 2.Lightly mist a pH-neutral, ready-to-use wood cleaner onto a microfiber flat mop.
- 3.Work gently in sections along the grain without letting water pool.
Vinyl floors
Damp mop. Spot-scrub gently.
- 1.Sweep or vacuum loose dirt.
- 2.Use a damp microfiber flat mop with a neutral-pH cleaner.
- 3.For sticky or ground-in dirt, scrub the spot gently with a microfiber rag.
Tip: For a small stubborn spot, put the rag under your toe and apply gentle pressure—no hands-and-knees scrubbing required.
Rugs and carpet
Go slowly enough to lift the dirt—and leave clean lines.
01
Clear the space
Pick up loose items and move small furniture out of the way.
02
Slow the pass
Move the vacuum at a steady pace so suction and the roller brush can lift embedded dirt and shape the pile evenly.
03
Pull straight and overlap
Start at the back wall, pull straight toward you, then move to the next row with a couple inches of overlap.
04
Back out cleanly
Wear socks instead of shoes, back out of the room, and keep the cord behind you so fresh tracks stay intact.
