DIY vs. Professional Floor Cleaning

Floor cleaning is certainly not rocket science, but it’s complicated enough that you can find many people approaching it in many different ways. We recently noticed that a TikTok user named Cynthia Sierra had gotten major traffic on a video in which she shows you can use toilet bowl cleaner in your bathroom floor cleaning routine. She and some followers swear it is the best way to get rid of discoloration on grout.

TikTok is definitely full of other such “life hacks” with regard to floor cleaning and countless other day-to-day activities. The same can be said of every major social media platform, not to mention a wide range of websites with varying degrees of reliability. It’s always possible that you’ll run across a recommendation that turns out to be a game changer for your household chores. But it’s also possible you’ll be convinced to go out and buy a new product that turns out to do no better a job than what you were already using.

This underscores what we already know about floor cleaning and similar tasks. There are trade-offs between doing it well and doing it in a way that doesn’t consume too much of your time and energy. And for most people, there’s a breaking point somewhere along that spectrum, where it becomes more worthwhile to reach out for professional help instead of continuing to apply more and more of one’s own elbow-grease.

We’re here to remind you that Fedco Floor Services is here to help you when floor cleaning starts to look like a daunting task. If toilet bowl cleaner doesn’t seem to work on your grout, you could keep clicking around TikTok for other solutions, or you could tag in someone with professional cleaning supplies and the know-how to match. No floor cleaning job is too big or too small, though we understand that it’s usually the big ones that overwhelm our customers’ patience.

There’s probably some corner of the internet where you can learn how to fix almost any problem. But if your carpet is at risk of water damage, that probably isn’t the kind of floor cleaning you want to learn on the fly. Fedco Floor Services can be ready in hours for genuine floor cleaning emergencies, and you can be sure that we’ll leave any surface free of significant stains, scuffs, or odors.

A TikTok video can’t make the same promise. DIY solutions are usually worth attempting, but they usually come with an element of uncertainty. You should take that risk when there isn’t very much at stake. But when you need to be absolutely sure your floor cleaning will turn out right, you should count on the professionals.
