Just Kate Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 We just moved to a rental home with hard wood floors. Any tips for keeping them clean? Also, the kitchen and bathrooms are ceramic tile. Any tips for tile? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowing Brook Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I've found for both that white vinegar works the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishMum Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I use vinegar too. just a small splash in the water. Don't let the wooden floor get too wet, just a damp cloth works best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Vinegar leaves streaks on my dark-stained hardwood. I use Bona. I've seen Bona in my local grocery stores, and in Bed, Bath and Beyond. It's water-based. You spray it on, wipe it off (use a micro-fiber mop). I vacuum my hardwood floors with a canister vac, or with the hose attachment on my upright. That's the best way. You can dustmop, or sweep if you have a small pile of something :-) but vacuuming is the best (followed by Bona). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowing Brook Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Thanks! Do I mix it with water? If so, how much of each? I just put a splash in a gallon of water. It only leaves streaks for me if I use too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishMum Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I just put a splash in a gallon of water. It only leaves streaks for me if I use too much. Yeah me too, I occasionally over do the vinegar and get streaks. I like chemical free cleaning, so I live with it. Getting the kids to slide around with socks on gets it nice and shiny ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Vinegar can damage wood floors and use streaking. Try Bona--and I love this spray mop: http://www.amazon.com/BonaKemi-WM710013348-Hardwood-Floor-Replaceable-Cartridge/dp/B0016M4YQ2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
