How do you clean your wood floors?

[dreemkin]

Didn't want this to get buried in the spam thread. I used to have pergo floors and I loved using the swiffer wet jet but now I have wood floors and the swiffer kind of made them feel a little sticky and look dull...

Rec your wood floor cleaning routine please!

Water / vinegar mix in a steam mop.

Im following this. I have hard wood floors too. It seems like no matter what I use, it just streaks the wood or leaves residue or generally looks like it is not clean......

We use murphys with some water and a mop. Works great! If I'm in need of a quick fix I use the stiffer with the wood floor cleaner.

I wet jet then steam clean. The dirt I get off with steam cleaning (after I already 'cleaned' with the wet jet) is alarming. I got the steamer from Target and I use it on the tile in the bathrooms too.

I use a steamer.

I'm with you on this. I am embarrassed at how much dog hair and whatever funky stuff is on Brady when he rolls off his mat. I desperately need to deep clean my house.

Same here

Now I'm thinking the wet jet doesn't look that bad. I don't want to spend $ on a steamer right now but it's something to think about for the future. Thanks everyone!

I "borrowed" my moms steam mop a couple of years ago when we moved and might have "forgotten" to return it.

Another vote for a steamer here. We have a multi-functional one that can also be used for the bathrooms, windows and things like that, and attaches to the high pressure cleaning system thing that DH uses to look all manly and shizzle.

I sweep up with a microfibre mop daily, that's about all the cleaning I'm able to keep up with. When O had time, I sweep first, then wipe down with Bona. I have light color wood, so I don't notice streaks.

This is my steam mop:

It doesn't cost too much and it works really well. Definitely recommend it.

Also, we had our carpets cleaned before DD2 was born and the guy said that most hardwood floor warranties say you should only clean your floors with water. Anything else voids the warranty. I hadn't heard of that before. I still like using a water/vinegar mix though.

This is what I'm leaning towards! Trying to convince my husband.

Do it! More then likely you will be supporting other women because they are the people who own the business!

That was my thought. You're supposed to clean your floors? Lol

I sweep mine with a broom. I do have the Bono system but I haven't used since before pregnant. Total laziness.
