Cleaning Hardwood Floors

August 22, 2022

I have a little boy who is learning to use the potty. Can anyone give me a solution for cleaning the hardwood floor around the toilet? I find that I clean it everyday. He misses sometimes, so I just want to get the area clean and smell free.

I clean my wooden floor with my steamer everyday. I put white vinegar and water in the part where you fill the steamer up. Then I buff it up with a dry Swiffer, but when walked on it leaves footprints, etc.

Can anyone help me to stop this happening please?

Make sure the floor is thoroughly dry before anyone walks on it.

Is it a pergo type floor or one with a shellac or clear coat? If so, vinegar is not recommend for them.

I would say no. Salt will leave a residue on the floor.

My floors were looking dull so I applied Quick Shine to them. They looked great at first. My son decided to surprise me while I was out of town and applied 5 coats of Quick Shine to "restore them". They were left with streaks. I've tried everything I can think to of to remove this product from my floors including a Shark steamer, floor scrubbers, Windex, vinegar and water and nothing has worked. My husband has even gotten on his hands and knees to no avail. You can see spots where the solution is gone and patches where it remains. At this point I'm wondering if my only hope is sanding them down and re-staining them.

I'm not sure if you realize or not that Quick Shine has a deep cleaner. The deep cleaner is used to remove the quick shine off your floors. You need to use the cleaner in hot water and apply this to your floors.

It should sit on the floors for several hours to work correctly. Afterwards, you should be able to mop this up. If you still have a few areas that have this build up on them, you'll need to do it again.
