Waxing involves applying a protective layer on the floor, while floor polishing is a process that removes imperfections and enhances the natural shine. Polishing is often preferred for long-term shine and durability.

While some multi-surface cleaners exist, it’s advisable to choose a cleaner specifically formulated for your flooring type to ensure effective cleaning without causing damage.

Use furniture pads, area rugs, and practice regular cleaning to prevent dirt and debris from causing scratches. Consider applying protective coatings like floor wax or polish.
