Hardwood Cleaning Tips

Ever find yourself frustrated over cleaning streaks left behind on your beautiful hardwoods…immediately after they were cleaned? I have found myself in this predicament on more than one occasion and while using a variety of products! While many might simply opt to delegate this task to another and forget about it, I personally would rather use monies allocated for cleaning services to bless family, friends and others in need. So, I decided to try different techniques and products until I found a solution.  It took a little time and a bit of experimentation with cleaning tools and products, but I finally discovered how to attain lasting shine on my hardwood floors. I must forewarn you though…it is a bit of a tedious process, but the results are g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s!  Not only do the floors look amazing, they stay that way for quite some time too.  It truly is the perfect cleaning regimen…especially for special celebrations and family gatherings.

After a thorough sweep and spot cleaning the little paw tracks our fur-babies leave behind, I use a Swiffer Wet Mop to pick up any remaining dog hair, dust or dirt.  Then, I use a Shark Genius Steam Mop with Holloway House Quick Shine.  The results are absolutely a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Try it out for yourself…you will be pleasantly surprised. I sure was, and if you happen to have little birds still in your nest, this is a great task to garner their help.  Our little birds always seem a little more interested in helping when the tasks include nifty little gadgets.
