Clean Hardwood Floors With Floor Buffer

The first thing you will need to do before cleaning is to figure out what kind of floor you have. If you are lucky to have a new sealed floor, it is probably a surface sealed floor which requires relatively little care. You probably have a penetrating seal treated floor if you have older floor installed. This type of floor needs more involved care with waxes and oils.

For cleaning hardwood floors, in the case of a surface sealed floor, you merely need to mop using a product recommended by your flooring manufacturer. To be safe, use only products that do not have any oil included. Use some soap and a damp mop on this type of floor and you will be safe. Since wood floors can be damaged with sitting water, you have to dry the surface completely when you finish your task.

In case you have a penetrating seal floor in your home, you won’t be able to use water based products while mopping. But for routine cleanings, use a vacuum cleaner or a broom. Old wax will have to be stripped and new coating will be added, so your floor can have deeper cleaning. Usually, you will need to do this two times a year, but you can do it more often.

Manufacturers directions should be follower while using stripper here. For your hardwood floors to dry properly you need to have good ventilation. Then purchase a product for waxing your floor that is approved by your floor manufacturer. Follow directions and apply one or two coats, or as many as desired.

Applying home floor scrubber is the last and most important step. You will have to use this process so that the wax can sink in properly and the floor can be sealed and shiny. There are plenty of people who who buy used floor buffers since they are cheap and help them finish their job with ease.
