How do you clean your hardwood kitchen floors?

[Anonymous]

Moving and our new place has hardwood floors in the kitchen.

My usual kitchen MO (for lino) is to spray with cleaner and then mop with a wet sponge mop. Same for spot treatment for spills (or wipe with a damp rag).

What do you do with hardwood? I assume too much water isn't super good for it.

I have a cleaning crew that comes every 5 weeks and they just use water and a mop. And in between I use a sponge to clean up any spills that occur. But I also have runners in my kitchen aisles to protect the wood floors so that helps and I wash them every few weeks or so.

I sweep really well to make sure there's no dust or grit that could scratch the finish, then use Bruce hardwood floor cleaner with a terry cloth mop.

Steam mop. The aren't antique floors I am passing down to my children.

Sweep or use my Dyson hard wood floor attachment then mop with rags and water or Bona. Sometimes I use swifter wet cloths.

We have cleaners come once a month. I will sweep up most days and run a swiffer (w/hardwood specific liquid) once a week

Tineco wet/dry vac. Love it so much.

Bona floor. I use the large wipes w swiffer-like no system.

We have kids and dogs who shed so vacuuming happens nearly every other day. We either run the Roomba, Dyson stick or central vac. We use Bruce hardwood floor cleaner in a Rubbermaid Reveal Spray mop throughout the week as necessary. Once a week, a teaspoon of powdered Tide detergent in a gallon of hot water with the O'Cedar spin mop.

We use a microfiber cloth attached to a mop and we use a warm water/vinegar solution. Been doing for 10+ years and floors still look great. I use Bona spray to spot clean small messes.

Vinegar and water. Cleans pretty well.

Mostly just sweep as needed, but Bona is the only answer for cleaning hardwood

We run the Roomba on our whole main level every morning. Cleaners every 2 weeks who use Bona on the hardwoods.

Murphys wood soap and spin mop, a few times a year
