Just moved to a new house and first time with nice real wood floors (not engineered wood).
What mop or steamer or vacuum should I get? |
Swiffer Wet Jet or O-Cedar equivalent. I prefer the O-Cedar because I can put whatever I want inside of it. |
Swifter wet followed by Shark steam mop. |
Are they old? Don't get them wet much.... Sweep and occasionally murphy's oil soap them. |
I use a mist-mop with a washable pad on it. I use vinegar and water as the cleaner. I read somewhere that you don't want to use harsh chemicals on the wood. I don't soak them, just spray and wipe down. I usually do a good sweep or swiffer first to get up random detritus. |
I vacuum frquently. Very occasinally I'll use this wetmop, with water only: http://www.amazon.com/E-Cloth-10620-e-cloth-Deep-Clean/dp/B003WKSTJY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1442856984&sr=8-1&keywords=ecloth+mop
By very occasionally, I mean once or twice a year. |

Wow, I'm glad to hear some people have dirtier floors that I do. We have wood floors throughout - including the kitchen and dining room - and young kids. I sweep several times a week and use the Rubbermaid spray and mop once or twice a week with Method Almond Oil spray and mop solution. |
I sweep daily and our cleaning team uses vinegar and water once a week. |
We vacuum and use Bona wood floor cleaner. In some high traffic areas we apply the bona polish periodically. |
I just bought a Bissell steam mop. I also love my Dyson cordless and just bought the hard floor attachment. |
I vacuum crumbs and then I use the swiffer and a bona mop about 1x every week or two. |
I use a Dyson cordless with the hardwood floor attachment to touch-up vacuum every day and use the Bona wood floor cleaner maybe once a week. |
Are you supposed to steam mop a wood floor? |
It isn't as wet as carpet wet vacuums. It is safe and thoroughly cleans without chemicals. |
