What is the easiest, fastest and least expensive way to clean hardwood floors?

Question

I am just asking about every day cleaning, not when you need to work on a shine. There are hundreds of products on the market, all of which are expensive and I have tried....never finding one I liked. I just need something for a quick clean-up.

Answer 1

Use Banana Oil - its the best. Don't use too much or you will have a skating rink! One container will last years and it doesn't have nasty buildup like some waxes and polishes do. Buy it at your local janitor's supply center.

Answer 2

I use a wood cleaner that Pledge puts out. Make sure that it says cleaner not polish. Mix according to directions in a spray bottle. Mist a small area of the floor, take a microfiber mop and wipe the floor going with the grain. This cleans better than anything else that I have tried, and makes the room smell good as well. Can also use this cleaner on almost anything.
this is the cleaner I am talking about,there are other places to purchase it, this is just to show you the right cleanser.
