Cleaning Dirty Hardwood Floors

RE: Cleaning Dirty Hardwood Floors By (Guest Post) My husband sands and refinishes hardwood. They don't need to be done every few years. They can be screened and cleaned every couple of years if you would like. This gets some of the surface scratches and dirt that grinds into the urethane out. It also gets rid of other things that have worked it's way in to the finish. It doesn't take off the stain and doesn't go all the way into the wood. It's a lot cheaper and makes a floor look brand new. A new coat of urethane is put on afterward.

It is a simple, inexpensive and nontoxic way to clean (nearly everything). Especially if the floors have sadly been ignored for years. I find when I use other floor cleaners, I need to either buff away the film or rinse again with water. I'm actually thinking of buying one of those steam cleaners to do my floors.

This does a great job and is ready to go in a spray bottle form! Streak free, cleans the dirt and easy on the budget :) Posted on 01/14/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Dirty Hardwood Floors By debbie (Guest Post) I have hardwood floors and I would just like to say thanks!

Is this to improve the color or what? Thanks.

If this is in the budget, then the sanding will clean them up. However, this whole process produces a lot of dust and uses strong chemicals. You might want to call around and get a few quotes. Also find out what you can do to minimize the dust created during the process.

The only thing that worked was some ammonia (about 1/4 cup) and water(1 gallon). On the tough spots of dirt I used a magic eraser knock off. When I had gotten the majority of the filth off, I used Orange oil to make it smell nice and look shiny. This had to be hand rubbed but the result was beautiful. Do not use the oil if any of the polurethane has rubbed off in "high traffic areas" Open a window while using ammonia. Posted on 05/19/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
