Hardwood Floor Cleaners -
What You Should Know
Now that you have beautiful hardwood floors in your home,
the next thing is keeping them clean and looking new. This is
where hardwood floor cleaners come into the picture. Here are
some tips on all types of cleaners to help along the way.
It goes without saying that immediately cleaning up any
spills that happen will help prevent damage to any type of wood
flooring.
Hardwood Floor Cleaner
Basics
- Always use a wood cleaner that is specifically
formulated for your floor. Certain cleaners are for
specific floors and not all are created equal.
- Always follow the manufacturers directions in applying
any floor cleaner. You don't want to assume you know how to
use it.
- Use the right type of mop when applying hardwood
cleaners. It can really help reduce the time and effort
spent.
Eco-Friendly Hardwood Floor
Cleaners
Today, people everywhere are turning to "green" products
that are more eco-friendly. This also applies to different
cleaners for hardwood floors as well.

An easy to use green product is one that you can make
yourself. Simply mix together 1/4 cup white vinegar with warm
water in a spray bottle and you have an excellent cleaning
solution. Add a few drops of lemon juice to give it a fresh
smell.
The key with this mixture is to spray it on your mop head
and not directly on the wood floor. Not only does this clean
your floor, it doesn't contain any harsh chemicals.
Other green products include ones such as "Natural Clean
Products Hardwood Floor Cleaner." Another is from New England
Natural called "Indoor Clean All". These are just a couple of
the many all-natural cleaners on the market.
As long as you follow the directions laid out by the
manufacturers, you should have no problems in keeping any of
your hardwood floors clean. With proper care they will last for
many, many years.
