No one likes the way you mop……..they hate you the minute they see you and THAT sponge mop you ALWAYS USE

I was just on a page written the the president of a hard-wood flooring company. He says you should NEVER use oil soap on a polyurethane treated floor because when the water evaporates, everything is coated with oil soap! He said that you are cleaning the polyurethane, not the wood. You use whatever you can use to clean glass, highly recommends vinegar or alcohol products like Windex. And you never clean a wood floor in a cross direction. Always go with the grain of the wood.

WRONG
First don’t broom just DRY MOPPED FIRST
Second: when you mopped don’t use vinegar or morphis oil or painsol just PLAIN WATER (WARM)
Result a beautiful floor for long time to come!

Hilarious ha ha ha I can see the streaks. You’re putting vegetable oil on your nice floor
So you wouldn’t install hardwood floors in a bathroom but you just applied enough water on your floor to ruin them over time. I even had a woman spray pledge on her hardwood floors. You know everyone likes hardwood floors but hates to take the proper time to care for them.

You might as well save yourself the continued labor and just clean your floor with acid. That way, when you have to pay to have your floors fixed, you won’t beat yourself up over all of the WASTED time cleaning with this TERRIBLE method.

NO hardwood manufacturer recommends this! Not one! This is a tried-and-true method to dulling/damaging your finish, raising the wood grain, and building up residue.

ya this is all wrong . never use that crap and if you do call me and i will be glad to resand them ! bad bad advice but thats ok I need the work ! LOL

You know, there are so many new styles of cleaning.  Why do it this way. Every reputable flooring company sells floor wiping and never recommend sponge mopping.

Well this is all wrong

Terrible advice. Please don’t use Murphy’s or any oil-based cleaner on a polyurethane-coated wood floor. Contact the floor manufacturer for guidance.

eHow, you need to have some way of moderating the advice that’s being given under your name.

Even the Murphy’s Oil bottle tells you to mop with the grain….

Go ahead and put in some vinegar while you are at it. Give me a call in a year or so and I will come in and resand your floors.

Sadly ppl will watch this and believe it to be good advice.

This is not the way to clean a poly urethaned hardwood floor……You will have adhesion problems when you try to recoat that floor…Murphy’s Oil Soap is about the worst thing you can use
