Dos and Don'ts of the Floor Cleaning

Cleaning the carpet and the floor are important issues you have to do more regularly. Most people consider carpet cleaning as one of the hardest to do tasks and they prefer to have hard flooring in their home in order to make the cleaning chores easier and affordable. Here is short list of do's and don'ts about it.

Very important rule to remember when floor cleaning is that you don't have to use vinegar on hard flooring because it will cause the dulling of the finish. Not only that but it won't do the job you expected to. The reason is that the vinegar is low pH cleaner, so DON'T use it.

Not only the low pH cleaners can damage your floor but the high pH cleaners, too. That's why the next DON'T do tip is about using harsh soaps. They are good enough to remove the dirt from your floor but you will have to say good bye of the finish.

Another thing which is in the list with DON'Ts is the usage of wax cleaners and oil soaps. They cannot be removed and are going to leave build up on your floor which is going to make you renew the surface coat sooner than you expect.

Let's not disappoint you and give you several DO's you can follow. When dealing with the hard floor cleaning, you can use non-toxic solutions mixed with warm water. They are not going to damage the finish and the result will be amazing. In case there are some marks that cannot be removed, you can try with baking soda and a damp cloth.
