How to Clean a Wooden Floor

First, vacuum the floor area well. This must be done with care to avoid marks and scratches. A lightweight vacuum with a nozzle position for wooden floors is recommended.

Spray the floor with a suitable floor cleaner. This will help dissolve stubborn dirt. Wipe the floor using a damp mop. Varieties that use cleaning pads can be especially effective at collecting dirt. Rinse the mop occasionally as it begins to collect dirt.

You can help to keep your floor cleaner for longer by placing rugs and doormats around your home. These will help collect some dirt to keep it off the wood. If you follow the above steps on a regular basis, you will prolong the life and beauty of your wooden floors.
