[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 759408, member: 4152"] Need advice on cleaning wood floors... We moved a few years ago to a home that has all dark wood floors. I think it would be called Engineered wood. the previous owner left Bellawood cleaner for wood floors in the cabinet and we used it snd liked it. I use it without any trouble. Once a month the housekeeper comes and knows to use the Bellawood liquid. For some reason...two rooms this time ended up sticky when you walked on it. Other rooms have streaks. I haven’t addressed the streaks. So, I mopped the sticky rooms with plain water. Then twice with Bellawood. Then they looked DULL. A wood floor store employee told me it might be a soap residue. I used windex as recommended. It worked. All better now. Multiple questions for those who have wood floors: 1. What cleaning product do you use and like? 2. Do these floors ever need polishing? If so, how often? 3. How often do you mop? 4. Ever heard of a soap residue? Huh? Would you guess the cleaner used something strange snd also soapy product on at least the two rooms? No other rooms were sticky. We looove the floors snd are trying hard to take good care of them. Thanks pS Sorry such a goofy question... I spent hours trying to fix this. As I’m typing this..’y husband just now decided to attack the streaky rooms. I feel like we’ve spent days correcting this strange mess. [/QUOTE]
