Wood Floor Buffer Helps You Clean Your Floors

Figure out what type of floor you have installed so you can start with proper cleaning. If you are lucky to have a new sealed floor, it is probably a surface sealed floor which requires relatively little care. If your floor is older, it is probably a penetrating seal treated floor. You will need to apply more oils and wax to maintain this type of floor.

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. A damp mop and a little soap are often also safe for this type of floor. It’s best to dry out your floors when you are done, because that water can ruin the surface of your flooring.

Mopping the floor with water-based products will not be possible if you have penetrating seal treated floor. Instead, for routine cleanings, you can simply sweep or vacuum your floor. Every once in a while, for a deeper cleaning, you will need to strip the old wax coating and apply a new one. You can do this once or twice a year, if you like.

Stripper needs to be used and you should also make sure to follow the 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. Read the instructions so you can properly apply the number of coats you wish for.

The final – and most important – step is applying a Hoover floor scrubber. This process is necessary to allow the wax to properly sink in and seal the floor, as well as to achieve a beautiful shine. Lots of folks use floor buffer polisher so they can finish their job much faster and put that beautiful shine on the surface. It’s good to know that a new wood floor buffer will simply pay for itself after you use it 3 to 4 times in your home.
