We have Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors. Nothing I do seems to remove the streaking. I have wet mopped, steam mopped, used floor products with a dry mop, but always I can see streaks in the floors. Any suggestions on how to get them shiny and streak free?
just like the finish on your car read up on some of the new wax products try a good size patch when you find the rite one you will know
My suggestion here is use the old and less expensive way to clean your floor water and vinegar. and for floor restoration try to find floor products anywhere.
Spray thick amounts of bleach all over the floor. Then if you want you could put some car oil and mop it around too.
Try using a microfiber mop with a mixture of Apple Cider Vinegar and water. Mix the two in any ratio you want. Then mop and scrub with this mixture. Don't over-saturate the mop...you want damp, but not dripping wet. Also, never use steam on wooden floors. It can cause the floor to warp. Why Apple Cider Vinegar? Apple Cider Vinegar contains tannins, which condition the wood while it cleans. It makes hardwood floors absolutely glow. Plus it's non-toxic and can be used as often as you like. Once in a while you can add a couple teaspoons of Lemon Oil to the mixture for extra glow. Actually just about any Essential Oil works. If you do add oil, stir the mixture often to keep the oil mixed. I don't recommend Murphy's Oil soap. It tends to leave streaks. The vinegar and microfiber cloth will remove the streaks you're experiencing. You can buy these just about anywhere...Target, Walmart, Home Depot, even Dollar General. Good luck. -
