If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean hardwood floors effectively at home.
Step-by-Step Guide
Dust Mop First
Use a microfiber dust mop to collect dust and debris. Vacuum crevices between boards.
Prepare Safe Solution
Mix 1/4 cup white vinegar with 1 gallon warm water. Never use more vinegar than this.
Damp Mop Only
Dip mop and wring until barely damp. Excess water is hardwood's enemy.
Mop with the Grain
Mop in the direction of the wood grain. Work in small sections.
Dry Immediately
Follow with a dry microfiber cloth to remove moisture. Don't let water sit.
Buff for Shine
For extra shine, buff with a hardwood floor polish designed for your finish type.
Pro Tips
- Place mats at entrances to catch dirt and moisture
- Use felt pads under furniture legs
- Avoid steam mops on hardwood - too much moisture
