Cleaning hardwood floor is quite different from that of cleaning a wood floor. Here are some precautions which you should follow while cleaning the hardwood floor. Sweeping, mopping and vacuuming must be done using a wand attachment to the vacuum cleaner. The Swivel Head mop is an ideal choice instead of water. You must avoid using chemical product

Never use a steam cleaner on a wood floor. The combination of heat and moisture and pressure could be very damaging to the wood. Always use a damp mop or cloth only. Steam will flow down between slats, penetrate the wood, stain it black. At worst, it will lift the coating, causing it to peel away.

Never use wax, oil based detergent or any general purpose household cleaner. These can dull or damage the finish, leaving a greasy film and making the floor slippery or tacky and more difficult to clean properly.
