Best cleaning product for wood floors
We’re finally closing on our home tomorrow!!   we’re getting in right away and the first thing that I plan on doing is scrubbing the place down. Which is the best product to use on wood floors? I was at BJs last night and saw Bona.... is that good? TIA!

I like the method squirt and mop cleaner. I used to use vinegar but I read that's bad for the finish so I switched.

Re: Best cleaning product for wood floors
The guys that steam cleans our floors said NO to vinegar on hardwood floors, even some tile floors. It will eat away at the finish.
I use the Bona on my floors.

Re: Best cleaning product for wood floors
I feel like I’ve tried everything. The winner seems to be the shark steam mop. Just hot water and my floors have never been so clean. Sometimes I spray a little Thieves cleaner (from young living) on the floor as I’m steaming along to sanitize but I feel like the steam really does a great job. And it’s sooooo easy.

Yes you have to be very careful with vinegar- even on granite and quartz counters- it is very very acidic and can eat away at finishes and sealants.
I was told the same.

When I had my wood floors re-done, the floor guy said Bona was the ONLY product that should ever be used

funny. We just had quartz Installed and when I asked what the best cleaner for it would be he said white vinegar & water. I use the windex vinegar because 1. It smells better and 2. It doesn’t leave streaks.
For my wood floors, I switch it up. Sometimes it’s vinegar, water and a little blue dawn in a spray bottle and I swifter as I spray. Whenever there’s a virus going around , I use lysol multi surface diluted in a bucket with my mop and I use the steam mop probably monthly.
It’s been 7 years. No issues with the floors.

I’m thinking of getting a steam mop to clean the floors more easily. Now I spray Bona but it takes a long time to get to every section.

Re: Best cleaning product for wood floors
The last time I used Murphy's Oil; I had people slipping and sliding over the place. So, never again.
I do have the Bona mop.
But lately, I use regular mop and bucket with hot water and I add a drop or two of the Lysol or Pine Sol liquid with a dash of vinegar. It is very diluted and I feel it cleans them so well.

Re: Best cleaning product for wood floors
i have heard really good things about the bissell crosswave, i have the shark and it's ok the bissell vacuums and cleans all with one machine
i think they have a solution you use in the machine or you can use plain water which is what i use with the shark
