This video is all about how to clean hardwood floors. Maintaining your hardwood floors can be risky business if you don't know what you're doing.

There are two types of hardwood floors, finished and unfinished. The majority of hardwood floors are gonna be finished with a smooth polyurethane or oil coating unless you are in an older home built prior to the 1950s. If you are unsure which floors you have pour a tsp of water in a small corner and watch how the wood reacts to it. Unfinished hardwood will absorb it like a sponge.

To clean your hardwood flooring you are either gonna go with a level 1 cleaning or a level 2 cleaning.

The level 1 cleaning is for floors with that aren't very dirty and have low traffic. This cleaning is perfect for those of you who want to give your hardwood a little touch to make them look fresh again.

Just spray some Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner onto the floor and mop along the grain with a flat mop. Simple!

The level 2 cleaning is for hardwood floors that are dirty and have high traffic. Just fill up a bucket 3/4 of the way full with warm water and pour 2 cap fulls of Murphys Oil Soap into the water. From that point grab a string mop, ring it out till it's damp and use it wipe off and clean the floors. Be sure to change the water out when it gets dirty.

Also, avoid putting too much water on the floor. Too much water will sink into the cracks and cause your floors to expand and warp.

Two more things to avoid are waxy cleaners and vinegar. Waxy cleaners with leave a residue and cause you hardwood floors to look dull and dirty. Vinegar will strip away the polyurethane coating over time turning you finished wood floors into unfinished. Once they are unfinished they will absorb whatever is spilled on them causing them to stain easily.
