The first thing you will need to do before cleaning is to figure out what kind of floor you have. In case you are a proud owner of a sealed floor, then it is most likely a surface sealed floor that will not take much of your time. If your floor is older, it is probably a penetrating seal treated floor. Oils and waxes will have to be used to properly care for thisfloor type.

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. Products that do not contain oil, like Oil Soap, are safe to be used. For this type of flooring, one soap and one damp mop would be a safe solution. It is a must to clean and dry your floor entirely when you finish, because the water can damage the surface of your flooring.

In case you have a penetrating seal floor in your home, you won’t be able to use water based products while mopping. You can instead use vacuum or sweep your floor. You will have deep cleaned floors if you remove the old wax coating and apply new one every once in a while. You choose how many times you want to do this task, but once or twice a year is the usual number.

Use a stripper, and follow the manufacturer’s directions. Good ventilation is needed for your wood floors to dry in time. Now you can buy some wax that can be applied on your wood floor and you are ready. Just follow the directions so you can properly apply as many coats as you want.

And at last, we have an important step to do, to use a electric floor scrubber. It’s necesasry to use process like this so you can achieve beautiful shine and that the wax can properly sink in the floor. Lots of folks use floor buffer polisher so they can finish their job much faster and put that beautiful shine on the surface. I think it is very important to know that a new floor bufer machines you buy will pay itself off after you use it for several times.
