Those with hardwood floors.....
What kind of mop do you use to clean them.....We been in our new house for about 3 weeks now and I feel like I just can't get them clean.....my daughters socks are always black.....so I'm starting to think that maybe it is the mop I'm using.....Any suggestions?

I use a microfiber mop and Bruce Hardwood floor cleaner. The microfiber part can be washed in the machine.

Re: Those with hardwood floors.....
I use a microfiber mop head/rag and vinegar diluted with water in a spray bottle. It's a pain in the butt to get these floors really clean. I also have the floormate; on rare occassions I use that.

Re: Those with hardwood floors.....
Can you show me a pic of what the mop looks like? Where can i get it from? I swear that my mop just pushes the dirt around instead of picking it up

I vacuum once a week, and every 2 weeks I use the wet cloths for the swiffer. They say it is safe to use on hard wood, and so far they've worked great for me.

I use the swiffer too. But I also add some diluted vinegar to the pad too.

Re: Those with hardwood floors.....
I wash with a rag and a bucket, but that's rare We have cleaners every other week and they use a regular old mop and plain water

I use this as well! I use it every other week and I've noticed a difference since I've started using it.
They have a kit which has the mop and the cleaner at Home Depot, I believe it was $15.

I'm a big fan of the regular swiffer, and I use the Hardwood floor cleaner (in the purple bottle). It's great!!

Re: Those with hardwood floors.....
I use a regular mop that can be thrown in the wash...and started to use Murphy's oil, and what a difference..no streaks that vinegar and that swiffer mops leaves behind.
