The 411 on cleaning wood floors If there's one thing I've learned in searching for the answer to the simple question, "How should I clean my wood floors?" this is it: There is no simple answer. Naively, I assumed that wood in its simplest form has been standing out in the rain since the beginning of time without the slightest hint of water damage. Surely a regular scrub with a buck- et of hot soapy water would be fine. Boy, was I wrong! Laminate wood. Laminates like Pergo and Wilsonart are dense fiberboard on the inside, covered with a paper pattern layer sealed under high pressure with a plastic- like substance. Damp mop for rou- tine maintenance, but do not use soaps or detergents on laminates because they may dull the floor. For heavy cleaning, use a mixture of household vinegar and water (1 cup vinegar to 1 gallon warm water) or household ammonia and water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon warm water). Difficult spots like nail polish, markers, tar and cigarette burns can be removed with acetone or nail polish remover. Laminate floors must never be waxed, polished, sanded or refinished. Engineered wood. Plywood with a thin veneer of finished solid wood on top, engineered wood flooring has superior strength to wood planks and is the most popu- lar type of wood floor these days. There are mainly three types of finishes for wood floors: varnish/shellac, pene- trating seal (wax) or a surface finish (urethane). You should never use vinyl or tile floor clean- ers on wood. Also you should avoid using a wet mop on wood floors. Unless your floors are quite old, a shellac finish is unlikely. If you don't know which type of fin- ish you have, try smudg- ing the finish with a fin- ger or scraping the finish with a fingernail or dull the finish. For heavy cleaning, use a cleaning product made specif- ically for surface-finished wood floors. Never apply wax to a sur- face-finished floor. Penetrating seals. Floors Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate sharp instrument in a hidden area. If the smudge is noticeable or no clear finish material is scraped up, follow the guideline for penetrating sealer. Surface finished wood. Finished with Polyurethane, Swedish finish or some kind of water-based ure- thane, surface-finished wood has a very hard water-resistant finish. Use a slightly damp mop that is wrung out well. Never use vinegar or ammonia, as either will irreversibly finished with a penetrating seal typically have a wax coating. If your floor has a wax finish, do not clean it with a water-based cleaning liquid. You need to use a solvent-based wax product designed for use on sealed wood floors. Preventive maintenance. The cheapest way to care for wood floors is to make sure dirt never gets embed- ded in the first place. Vacu- um and dust mop at least weekly, and keep sand, grit and dirt out. When spills occur, clean them up imme- diately using a towel dipped in warm water and wrung out well. Follow immediately with a dry towel to dry and buff the area.
