My floors are driving me crazy!!
I just moved into a house that has real hardwood with laminate in the kitchen and there is who knows how many years of wax and grime on these floors. I've mopped a dozen times with vinegar, pledge, even bleach water and they are still grimy. I got down with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and scrubbed my arse off and got through the mess in a small spot, but there's no way I can do that on all the floors. Any suggestions? I'm desperate! I feel like my house is nasty!
Re: My floors are driving me crazy!!
I would stop with mixing chemicals pretty much immediately. That's not good for you or your family.
Can you get them professionally stripped and refinished so you can start from scratch?
Hot water and Dawn. And maybe a scrub brush.
Don't let the water pool on the wood floors. Just use enough to get the floors clean and then buff dry with a separate towel.
