Is Natures Miracle safe to use on hardwood? And have you ever used it on hardwood?

Answer 1

Having two peskie eskies I've used Nature's Miracle on almost every surface in my home, including stone and hardwood. My hardwood is the rough, handscraped type which is rough hewn so the boards don't seal together like tongue and groove. I used it to clean up after my Boo Boy (RIP) without damage to the floor, but I sucked up excess moisture with the wet/dry especially in between the boards to make sure they didn't warp. It didn't affect the finish or color of the wood tone, however.

Answer 2

Most wood floors can be kept clean by first sweeping or vacuuming with a floor nozzle to remove most of the surface dust and dirt, then damp mopping with clear water (dip a sponge in clear water, squeezing it out so that the mop is barely damp, almost dry). Use very little water and rinse your mop thoroughly after each use since excess water can dissolve protective coatings, alter the color of the wood and raise the grain to roughen the surface.

If your floors are not dirty enough to need mopping every week, then you should not do it, as it will wear the floors faster, not to mention waste your time. Simply sweeping is often all they need.

If need to restore the shine to your wood floor after you get it clean, try damp mopping it with 1/2 cup vinegar and 2 tablespoons furniture polish in a gallon of warm water. Vinegar is also useful for removing any soap residue or build-up, but should not be necessary every week.=)
