How do you clean hardwood floors?
How do you clean hardwood floors? I have hardwood with a polyurithane finsh. I don't want them to lose their shine.

Re: How do you clean hardwood floors?
I Swiffer a few times a week and mop them every other weekend with warm water and white vinegar.
The mop is barely wet when I use it - and the floors sparkle when I'm done!

Re: How do you clean hardwood floors?
one word of caution....
mom had an issue with some wood floor duster... I don't know if it was a wet swiffer for wood? At any rate, it left a white hazy residue....
so, for any polish/ cleaner, do a test area before using it on the entire floor

i only use a dry swiffer....That happened to my wood floors in my apartment....I learned the hard way not to use the wet swiffers....thank god i learned in that apartment and not my house!
I use the dry swiffer right after i vaccuum to get my hair and pet hair then i use some vinegar and water to wash with just a damp mop not saturated

Yep - just a dry Swiffer for me too. I've heard horror stories of people using the Swiffer wet jet for wood floors.

Re: How do you clean hardwood floors?
I just spent last week getting paint off my wood floors after the painters left.....Good Housekeeping recommended Orangeglo Hardwood Cleaner and a putty knife to get the paint off.....it worked for me....but get knee pads if you have a lot of paint to get off! good luck
