The best thing you can do for any hardwood floor is to vacuum
or dust mop it regularly. This prevents dirt from building up
and damaging the floor. Certain treated hardwood floors require
specific cleaning methods, so check with a flooring specialist
first before using any cleaning products. However, you can mix
between 1/8 and 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar into a litre of
warm water to make a mild floor cleaning solution for hardwood
floors.
To
clean the floor with this solution:
- Dip a
soft white cleaning cloth into the solution and squeeze out
most of the liquid.
- Get on
your hands and knees and wipe the floor without getting it wet.
- Work on
a small area at a time.
- Immediately
buff dry each area after you clean it with a soft dry cloth
to bring out the luster. Do not allow wood floors to get too
wet or too dry on their own.
If you have finished hardwood floors, eventually the finish will
come off with wear. Very likely, you will need to refinish the
floors or begin waxing them.
