Is it best to spray the cleaner directly on the hardwoods?

yes I love it. it takes very little to clean. I bought two, have a large hardwood floor area an it last a long time.

I bought the entire kit with mop( it's Excellent and oh so easy). First I spray Bellawood spray cleaner on the floor and go over it with the mop and I'm done in no time . I Love it !!

In my opinion no. I have a Swiffer dust mop and I spray it on there and then apply it to my floors.

No. I find it gives a better finish on my cherry floors and more economic to spray it on a cloth first. The comment about using the swifter is spot on.

That's an excellent question that I don't know the answer to. It's and emulsifier that strips oil and dirt from surfaces. So if your hardwood floors are real wood with a waxed surface I would advise against it. But if its Pergo flooring or an imitation wood I would go for it at 15 to 1. If you have stained areas you can always treat those with a higher concentration spray and wipe clean.

I have. I used Pledge floor cleaner but alternate with water. I believe the issue the manufacturer states with using "soaps" is that it may clog the wick which takes the fluid from the liquid chambers to wet the cleaning cloth. I would just be careful not to use something concentrated or too thick and rinse between cleanings. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I don't. If you're thinking of the disinfecting properties, I follow the instructions to use shorter, slightly slower strokes on tile. (I wouldn't do that on wood.) I have two indoor/outdoor dogs and though I'm concerned about disinfecting, I wouldn't rely totally on a steam mop to do the job. Mine does a good job cleaning, but I also occasionally use a disinfecting spray/cleaner on tile. (I don't have young children to worry about the wood floors.) Hope this helps.

You only need to mist, not spray. Yes, I have used this on carpet, leather furniture, wood floor, wall close to the moldings, bedding, etc. The true clue is to use a mist and not drench everything in it. I hope it helps :)

OK--Here's what I do. I just removed years of buildup with this method . I have parquet flooring that were dulled from of never really cleaning floor and tried many products- like Bono. Here's what I did-- I put rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle undiluted. I sprayed it on a portion of floor to test it first. Spray on and let it sit for a few minutes. I used a little plastic curly pot scrubber in the direction of the grain and it practically lifted the accumulation by itself without a lot of pressure. Follow immediately with a slightly dampened microfiber cloth. I did my entire floor on my hands and knees using plain old alcohol. It evaporates very quickly and unlike water, will not damage wood. You will find that the old floor shine will form black "nubbies" which you swipe into a dustpan and brush. I carefully researched how-to's and found that windex works as well because it contains alcohol. The key ingredient here is the alcohol- just like the nurse rubs it on before a shot to remove skin oil and disinfect, it does the same on floor. This experience really changed my whole approach to hardwood maintenance. QucikShine is something I will never use again. It's not healthy for the wood. My alcohol stripped floors have a beautiful glow, and I will keep them that way by vacuuming up dust and swiffering often That's what the experts recommend. Twice a year is all the deep cleaning your floor needs to last a long time. Hope this helps. I'm crazy clean!

I purchased this specifically to use on my hardwoods. Works perfectly without damaging the floors.

1. yes, but only for about 1 story without ladder. you need to be 4-5ft away 2. yes, worked great on reclaimed hardwood to remove grime and mildew. You need to go very slowly with a narrow angle nozzle 3-4inches from the surface. The cleaned strip is narrow so it takes a while to do a large area. That being said, you'll get the job done and I am not sure any pressure washer will make a job like that really quick, just much easier than hand scrubbing.

I use this only on my hardwood floors and it is great. If my floors are dirtier than usual, I add a little more polycare than the label calls for, and it always gives the floor a great shine. My hardwood installer recommended this many, many years ago and it is all I ever use. You can also buy this in a small version first to see if you like it.

It has worked great on my hardwoods without damaging the finish. Smells good too!

I have hardwood throughout my home and it does a beautiful job. I believe when I was researching products there is a Bono tile cleaner which I imagine would do an equally excellent job.

I just use a spray bottle of a solution mix (Mr. Clean, Pine-Sol etc) and spray my floor first before I use my steam mop. Works great for disinfecting and cleaning.

No, it is really just for carpeting and upholstered furniture. The solution that you are supposed to use with it could damage hardwood floors. Best thing I have found for hardwood floors is the Swiffer Wet-Jet with the special solution for those surfaces.

I don't think the wipes make as big a difference as the cleaner used. Swiffer also makes a cleaner designed for hardwood floors.

I do vacuum b swiftly and it will do a great job.efore use of the haan. It's safe if the hardwood floor is not kept wet, use it

There is a specific Swiffer Wetjet product just for hardwood floors and it includes the hardwood floor cleaner. Do a search for Swiffer Wetjet Hardwood Floors and they'll come up.

Even though the instructions read you can use this product on surfaces, I only spray it in the general area of furniture and rugs. I use it mainly to clear the air and not directly on any surfaces. I don't want to have any spots on my floors, walls or funiture. Beas
