Today on my homemade natural series, I have a question for everyone about hardwoods. I never really know how to properly clean them.
My favorite product I’ve found so far for cleaning my hardwoods is Method hardwood floor cleaner. It has an almond scent and makes the floor shiny. I also love that I don’t have to dry the floors after I mop because it’s safe to let the cleaner air dry without harm being done to the hardwoods. However, sometimes I feel like they need deep cleaning.
I find mixing 1/2 cup of white vinegar with a gallon or so of water does a great job of really cleaning the dirt off the floors. Afterward, I dry up all the excess water with a towel. But, I have heard conflicting reports about using vinegar on hardwoods. Some people really recommend it and then others say the vinegar is bad for the finish on the floors. I was wondering if anyone else has had a bad experience with using vinegar on their hardwoods? I love that it’s a cheap and natural solution but I would hate to think I’m ruining my floors by using it! Leave a comment if you have a suggestion to share!
