Before you clean your hardwood floors, you need to assess what kind of hardwood floors you have and what kind of coating you have, then check with the manufacturer, or installer to double-check any cleaning method you are about to use. I like to use my Shark steamer on my floors, but every couple of weeks I like to do a deep clean with a traditional mop. I have been searching online for a good method to do a traditional mopping without the bucket of dirty water old-school idea. I found this awesome mopping video tutorial by Clean My Space, on YouTube, and I fell in love with this mopping idea. Melissa from Clean My Space, starts with this awesome recipe for cleaning almost any floor surface, she uses it on laminate, tile, and even wood. Make sure and check with a wood professional about mopping safety for the type of wood you have.
