How To Clean Hardwood Floors Quick Tips
From Swiffer
If there was a popularity contest between floor types inside the home, hardwood floors would be
a clear winner. And with good reason. Their natural look add character, making your home feel
warm and inviting. But if you're a hardwood floor owner, you've probably scratched your head
trying to figure how to keep them clean and like new. While some suggest silly remedies like
using hot tea to clean your floors, Swiffer has an easy-to-follow guide that gets you the best
looking floors and keeps your tea in your mug where it belongs.
1. Basic Care
1. Sweep often — at least once a week. By sticking to this routine, you can clean your
floors before dirt has time to collect on the surface.
2. Unlike carpeting that collects allergens* and keeps them around, hardwood floors can be
easily wiped clean of dust and allergens*. Keeping a Swiffer Sweeper handy can help
remove pollen from your floors.
3. Accidents happen — especially spills. But if you're prepared to clean them immediately
you can prevent stain damage to your floors and grout lines.
4. Vacuuming is also an option to get your floors clean. Be sure to use a vacuum that has a
setting for hardwood flooring. Or pull the plug on the vacuum altogether and use a
Swiffer SweeperVac. It's great for sucking up dirt in between grout lines missed by other
traditional cleaners.
5. Make sure you're using the right cleaner for your hardwood floors. Always look for
manufacturer reassurances or hardwood specific products.
6. There's a tool for every job, even cleaning floors. Whether dirty, dusty, sticky or muddy,
selecting the right tools for the job can be the difference between just cleaning your floors
and getting them cleaned the Swiffer way.
