How to Clean Hardwood Floor Naturally

• Our floors can be dirty in many ways, but we need
  to know the right way to clean them. Learn how to
  clean wooden floors naturally. Follow the steps
  to get professional cleaning of your hardwood
  floor
• Step-1 Vacuum the Area First
• When you start working for the purpose of regular
  cleaning then you will definitely want to get the
  best results. For that you need to create an
  efficient vacuum. Because the floors are very
  messy in our daily commute and the dry dust is
  plagued with dirt, the vacuum can really give you
  a nice clean floor before you mop the floor.
• You should choose a suitable vacuum cleaner to
  vacuum the hard floors. Since you are the owner
  of a hardwood floor, a suitable vacuum for this
  type of floor should be your regular vacuum. You
  can use your shop vac if you want. They can suck
  wet spills as well as remove dirt from hard
  floors efficiently.

12
Step-2 Make a Mixture with One of Above Recipe

• Now that you are ready to do the job of removing
  the inferior stains, if you are ready to do any
  specific cleaning work, make the desired recipe
  from the recipes described above, to get the
  desired result. Since there are differences in
  each stain, for example, the way you can clean
  grimy floor, you need to clean the grease stains
  in a slightly different way because the
  ingredients of soil and grease are different, so
  you have to use those ingredients against the
  stains. .
• Mix all the ingredients in the container as per
  the description. And prepare for use.

13
Step-3 Mop the Floor in Right Way

• You should keep two mops to clean the floor, one
  for dry wiping and the other for wet wiping. You
  need to take a mop to apply the mixture. What we
  do, we do not focus on one side when mopping the
  floor but it is an important aspect to keep the
  hardwood floor safe.
• Wooden floors are quite sensitive. They can be
  damaged as a result of the excessive use of
  water. So when mopping we should take care not to
  wipe the floor too wet as it takes more time to
  dry and by that time the wood sucks water and
  wood starts to be damaged.
• When mopping, wipe the sponge and squeeze well so
  that it does not stain when wiping the floor.
  After drying, ugly spots will appear.

14
Step-4 If Have Stain, Clean First

• Before you finally mop the floor you need to see
  if there are any stubborn stains. If it is, you
  need to clean it first. There are a few things
  you need to know to remove any stains. That is,
  what the spots are and what ingredients you need
  to apply to work against them.
• In our recipes we have discussed what to apply to
  remove stubborn stains like grease. If the floor
  stains are on the surface of the floor, it will
  be easier if it goes deeper into the wood floor,
  it will be a bit harder for you. In that case you
  need to stay up to the end of the stain and fill
  them with putty to flatten them again. Stain the
  place to balance and give a coat of polyurethane.
  To do this, collect the materials from your local
  hardwood floor servicing store.

15
Step-5 Remove the Odors

• Many times the floors become permanently smelly
  due to unexpected accidents from our pets. And it
  can also be associated with bad breath due to
  daily dirt. So even after mopping the floor
  properly, many times the environment does not
  feel fresh so we should spend some time behind
  it.
• In our recipes we have shared a recipe that will
  bring a fragrance from the time of cleaning.
• Essential oils help us in this case. You can add
  as many flavors as you like. Moreover, you can
  apply baking soda for stubborn smells like pet
  urine. Baking soda is a very strong ingredient
  that can suppress unpleasant odors. Apply it in
  that place and let it sit for some time and the
  result is in front of you.

How to Clean Old Hardwood Floor (Even 100 years
old Wood Floor)

• Hardwood floors were once different. It was not
  finished in the pre-1950s. Nowadays, the beauty
  of Finnish wood has increased a lot. If you have
  been using wood flooring successfully for over
  100 years, you are in luck. Although wooden
  floors are more sensitive than tile floors, they
  can be maintained for a long time with proper
  care. Apply wood cleaner or mineral spirit to
  remove their stains and use baking soda to remove
  the odor. In order to take care of them, we can
  follow a few steps.
• Regular mop
• We should add some time to our daily work list
  to mop the wooden floors. It can't hold all the
  dust and dirt of the day. We can go against the
  stain immediately if we wear any stain through
  daily cleaning. Pick a time at the end of the day
  to mop each day so that the time for dust to
  enter from outside is over.
• Vacuum the Floor Weekly
• Vacuuming every day can be a hassle so we said
  just mop. However, you should vacuum well at
  least once a week. It will be able to clear all
  the dust that was hidden. And choose a vacuum
  cleaner with crevice tools and upholstery tools.
  This makes it possible to clean compressed spaces
  around your room or furniture, as your hands
  cannot reach and cant mop them.
• Apply Wood Cleaner Once In A Month
• We think of using wood cleaner only if we get
  stains but it is not right we should use wood
  floor cleaner at least once a month, whether
  there are any specific spots or not. This will
  allow the floor to retain its brightness and stay
  good for a long time.

How to Clean Greasy Hardwood Floor

• The greasy floors make us really excited.
  However, dishwasher liquid works really well to
  remove them. To clean the greasy floor you can
  get rid of some of the materials in the house.
  The steps to clean the greasy floor are
  discussed.
• Wipe off some paper towels to reduce the amount
  of grease before cleaning. wipe as much as
  possible. So you don't have to use water for a
  long time to clean the grease.
• You need to make a mixture to remove grease
  stains. As I said before, dishwasher liquids work
  well against grease. So the solution will have
  dishwasher liquid. The recipes described above
  include how to make a solution for greasy floor.
• Take a microfiber cloth, soak in the solution.
  Remember there is no need to keep it wet. The
  fabric is microfiber so it is good for wiping the
  floor. Wipe instead of soaking with a damp cloth,
  so that the water does not affect the wood. You
  do it in a circular motion. Keep rubbing until
  the grease is completely gone.
• Wipe the area with another cloth. Allow
  ventilation in the area while doing the work. So
  that it can dry.

How to Refinish Hardwood Floor Yourself

• No it's not easy. If you think wood floors are as
  easy to refine as a stain cleaner, you are wrong.
  It's not easy, but it's possible for you. For
  this you have to give some dedication. If you can
  do it with patience, you can save some money and
  gain a new experience. I am discussing the
  processes.
• Empty the room
• To refinish, you first need to empty the room.
  Move furniture and other equipment to a safe
  place. And if there is any decoration on the wall
  or window of your room, polish it as it may get
  damaged in the dust while sanding the floor.
• Prepare for sending the floor
• Close all the holes in the room with the help of
  painter tap. Close window openings and cover the
  ventilation area with taps to prevent dust from
  entering such compressed areas.

• Sand and Buff
• Now sand the whole room with the help of a sander
  machine so that the previous finish is completely
  lifted and the wood is back to its original
  state. You may have to pass several times for
  this. Do not place the machine in one place.
  Since you are doing it for the first time, you
  can practice on a different piece of wood. At the
  end of the sand, buff the places that were not
  properly sanded. Make sure there is consistency
  throughout the floor.
• Wipe and stain the floor
• Mop the floor after each pass. Many people like
  the actual color of the wood and many people like
  the color. So the next step will be to stain the
  floor.
• Polyurethane the floor
• There are two types of finishing, polyurethane
  coating or oil varnish. Polyurethane is becoming
  more and more durable and is gaining popularity
  day by day, so coat with polyurethane as needed.
  You can give as many coatings as you need.
