[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really glad you started this post and I appreciate all the helpful, practical information!

Hardwood Floor cleaning---what's the best way to do this? I feel like I'm always struggling and the floors are always dirty. I don't want to damage the hardwood but maybe it's time to try one of the wet vacs/mops like Bissell or Tineco? [/quote]

I have tried swiffer wetjet wood floor, Bona hardwood floor cleaner, murphy oil soap etc and it all ends up being weirdly sticky and hard to use. It actually attracted more dirty. I used to like hoover floormate too but there is a huge scratching problem and leakage with it for hardwood floors. It is good for laminate flooring.

The easiest and best clean for me has been  - Bissell PowerFresh Slim Steam Mop.  You can feel the silky smoothness of clean floors when you walk bare feet.  I also bought extra pads because the first time around it got filthy very quickly and I had to change it often. Bissel suggests using demineralized water but I just use my RO filter drinking water.

I really like my Tineco cordless floor cleaner.  Like the Bissel Crosswave it has a compartment that holds the cleaning solution/water and a separate compartment that holds the dirty water.  They say you don't have to vacuum the floors first but our dog sheds a lot so I prefer to vacuum first.  It will definitely suck up crumbs and hair while washing the floors though.  I had a Shark steam mop before but I felt like I could never get the pads clean despite washing them.  It felt like I was just pushing dirt around when my kitchen floors were especially dirty.[/quote]
