We just moved and our house has all hardwood floors. I have swept and mopped the floors several times but they are still dirty. My son who is 8 months old ends up covered in dirt from scooting around on the floors. I don't know of any other ways to get the floors cleaned. Anyone with any tips, please help me. I'm worried we are going to ruin all his clothes because he gets soooo dirty. Even just walking around the house, my daughters socks and my husband and I's socks all get dirty too. Please help!!
The quickest and most effective way to clean hardwood floors is with a damp mop. Before mopping, make sure that you have removed all surface dust from the floor. This can be done with a soft broom or lightweight vacuum cleaner. Then, simply mop, rinse and repeat. It is important to remove grit and dirt from hardwood floors. Dirt and grit are the biggest enemies when it comes to scratching or scouring the floor finish.
Hardwood floors are hard to keep clean, especially with kids and dogs. We have HW floors and 3 house dogs...and it's currently pouring rain outside...so I know your problem. My wife cleans the floors with Murphy's Soap oil, and when it's good and dry, she uses Orange Glo Hardwood floor 4 in 1 floor cleaner, and applies it with a Swiffer Sweeper and dry Swiffer mop pad . It gives a fresh look to the floors. Many times, she skips the Murphy's and just uses the Orange Glo. This works as good as we can keep it with our dog circumstances. Papaw
