I used Pledge dust cleaner on my hardwood floor and now it makes squeaky sounds when I walk on it. How do I ge

Question

get rid of this squeaky sound? It's loud.

I have already tried water and other wood floor products, but it doesn't help.

1) I don't have cracks in between my floor.
2) I'm pretty sure it's from the pledge.
3) Don't you think that I know by now that I shouldn't use Pledge.

Answer 1

I don't think it was your Pledge dust that did it unless it cleaned it to much, but here I found a link that will help you understand what is going on and you should be able to fix it. they even have pictures to show you.

Answer 2

Squeaky Floor Cleaner

Answer 3

Pledge has a wood-restoring oil in it that makes wood shiny. Try mopping the floor with a wet mop to get some of it off. Then, hand dry the floor with a cotton rag (It will absorb some oil) This should work, but if it doesn't, at least your floor is 'squeaky clean'
(Sorry for the pun)

Answer 4

Try putting baby powder in the spaces between. It provides a buffer where the edges rub. I got this idea from Tim the Tool man Taylor, and I have no more squeaks on my hardwood floor. By the way, thank you for the compliment a week ago. I like yours, too.

Answer 5

I wouldn't use pledge because it will make the floor too slippery. But for the squeaky try putting water on it?

Answer 6

Here is a tip never use Pledge only Endust on hardwood floors

Answer 7

Try a damp mopping to cut the oils or wax that may have been in the spray. A little moisture doesn't hurt the floor.

Answer 8

I think you will either have to use some actual hardwood floor cleaner. OR let it wear off.

Answer 9

Corn starch or baby powder between the cracks.

Answer 10

baby powder in the cracks
