confident, and chilly water is reported for wood because of the fact warm water can warp it. interior the destiny, you ought to apply lukewarm water so it would dry swifter. I actually have a depressing hardwood floor and now and back mop it with heat black tea. The tea facilitates get rid of from the floor with out using harsh chemical components. i detect that it works extra desirable than vinegar. even however, in the journey that your floor is a easy shade, i might advise a eco-friendly tea rather, so the tea would not stain it.

I wouldn't. Only a masonry tile floor should be mopped this way, both to clean it and to help it dry more quicly without streaks. Ammonia can conceivably disrupt the urethane bonds in the varnish or discolor any stain used on the wood.

I think you can but I think its wiser to mop with some kind of solution made for wood floors. Just to be on the safe side. I called my grandmother and she said you CAN use it but shouldn't. So I don't know what that means. But I would just get muprhy's or something.

Oh, my, please don't!
Tell you what, put LITERally, one drop of liqiud dish soap in a bucket of warm water, add .5 teaspoon of white vinegar, agitate...hopefully, you don't get suds.
Make your mop as dry as possible.
If you can't get it clean that way, put on the wet mop all over, let sit for a few secs, agitate your mop, wring out really dry, and re-mop, rinsing and wringing as your mop gets wetter. We call this method "wet mop/dry mop")
The critical mistake people make with wood floors is too much surfactant ( soap) which makes your floor sticky and dull...and too much water...just not good for a wood floor!

Why would you do that? Ammonia is used for stripping off wax. Are you just trying to clean your wood floor? Make it shinny? Cover gouges? Is it a real wood floor or plastic? What ever you do with wood... don't leave it wet with water for long.

you mean the sudsing ammonia? Sure, just use a very thin solution and rewax your floor immediately!
That stuff stinks, find something that smells better! Murphys smells better and cleans wood products much better without having to immediately do the paste wax and buffing necessary for nice shine.

Not recommended unless the floor is properly sealed. Even then, the ammonia will slowly eat at the seal, so it's for emergency use only.
Only use what's recommended.

No it would take the finish off of the floor.
