Heavily used areas should be cleaned more often, every week or two. Another way to clean hardwood floors is to use a flat mop and hardwood floor cleaner, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

✅ When mopping hardwood floors, make sure to wring most of the water out of the mop so it’s damp and not sopping wet. Rinse the mop when necessary.
✅ Avoid leaving any standing water on the floor, which can damage the wood. This is especially true for prefinished hardwood floors.
✅ You can also use a spray-and-mop product or disposable wet pads that are safe for hardwood floors.
✅ Unless you use a steam mop designed for cleaning wood floors, steam cleaning is not advised for hardwood floors. Steam can dull the finish and damage the wood.
✅ Don’t use DIY wood floor cleaner containing vinegar when mopping your hardwood floors because it can damage the finish.
✅ Avoid using harsh detergents that will dull the surface of your floors. You also shouldn’t use products like vinyl floor cleaner or tile cleaner on hardwood floors.

Take it Easy Tip: Your floors should dry pretty quickly. You can speed up the process by turning on a ceiling fan or drying the floor with a microfiber cloth.
