Cleaning Hardwood Floors
Hi! I have hardwood floors throughout my house and I am having trouble getting them as clean as I want!! I have been using a cleaner for hardwood floors, but it dries streaky - even if I mop, then dry the entire floor with a towel. The hardwood is very shiny to begin with - like there is lots of sealer or shellac on top if that makes sense. So since the cleaner isn't exactly touching any real wood, do you think I would be better off using a different floor cleaner - like one for laminate or ceramic?
Any advice or product rec's would be appreciated!
Re: Cleaning Hardwood Floors
It sounds like I have the same floors you have. The individual planks were laid, but there were prefinished.
I just cleaned and used a little dawn and water, on my hands and knees, and a rinse cloth and a dry cloth if I needed it.
They look very clean.
I have DURA-LUSTER for cleaning residential hardwood floors with a urethane finish. Not crazy about it, but probably the best. I'm just about out so that's why I didn't use it.
I heard WD40 puts a shine back on, since it is made of fishoil. I know DH uses wd40 on stubborn marks.
This! I use Murphy's Oil on all trim and hardwoods. I should really do it more often now that I think of it.
