[quote=Anonymous]I just bought a house with hardwood floors.  I don't know much about hardwood floors- the house was built in the early '80's and the planks are very skinny.  During inspection, walk through, first day in house the floor looked great- nice and shiny. I noticed spots on the floor which I am thinking was droplets of sweat from the movers.

Yesterday, I used BONA to clean the floor.  There is now a square spot (maybe 5x5 ft) on the floor that looks like it has a whitish residue on it; it is easily seen when the curtains are open during the day.  The square part is directly in front of where they had their couch.  They did not have a rug there when we looked at the house but they could have before they put the house on the market. It is so weird bc the rest of the floor looks fine.

Today I have used Murphy's Oil- no change.  And I have used a vinegar/water mixture- no change.  With the vinegar water mixture- I tried to immediately wipe it up/buff it with a towel.

Questions:
I'm pretty sure BONA has a whole system.  I just used the spray. Should I go buy the whole thing?  Should I go buy a microfiber cloth/mop or something special to use with vinegar/water mixture?  Do I just need to keep cleaning it? Any other suggestions?  It looks pretty bad- even my husband said something- and my MIL is coming in a few weeks.  I'd rather do the scrubbing on my hands and knees, if I have to, before she comes instead of in front of her.[/quote]
