Homemade Natural Series: Cleaning Hardwoods


Today on my homemade natural series, I have a question for everyone about hardwoods.  I never really know how to properly clean them.

 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!
