how do i clean a wood floor with a polyurethane finish?

Answer 1

mild detergent and water. A polyurethane is a protector for your floor to keep water from damaging it. Its ok to mop it, you will not hurt it. Any floor cleaner will work.

Answer 2

I use white vinegar and water, it is a get down on your hands and knees job, as a mop will leave too much water on the floor. I use a sponge or an old wash cloth, wring out well and wipe the floor, then I apply a coat of orange glo for hardwood floors and is shines like new. Use about one cup of vinegar per five gallon bucket.

Answer 3

If you are just wanting to clean the floor, I recommend Murphys Oil Soap. After a good cleaning and drying, go back with a furniture polish for floors. Pledge even works. If you have surface damage, then we're talking elbow grease and lots of it.

Answer 4

1 cup white vinigar to 1 gallon water. Do NOT use any soaps, oils, or waxes on your wood floor. soaps, oils, and waxes cause build up on your floors that make it very difficult to add a coat of finish as the years go on to keep your beautiful wood floor looking new. Without this buildup it right now it costs about $.45/ft2 to buff and add a coat of finish, or about $2.25/ft2 to re-sand and finish if it has buildup on it... you do the math. :)

Answer 5

DON"T pledge or wax your floor! That makes it very slippery & a person could fall. I use mild white vinegar & water solution & a damp mop. Or a wet Swiffer. I clean up spots or messes with a damp paper towel.

Answer 6

mild soap and water. Murphy's Oil soap is one such mild soap. Do not put a lot of water on the mop. Wring it out carefully.

Answer 7

floor sander
