Can I use regular furniture spray, wax, or oils on my wood floors?
No! Oils can leave residue, while furniture sprays will give you a slippery surface, which is not what you want on a floor. Putting wax on is time-consuming and makes it difficult to re-coat. Don’t use an abrasive cleaner or ammonia, as these products can scratch the finish or give the floor a dull appearance. Only use a special floor cleaning product recommended for that particular floor. Otherwise, use mild soap and water. Avoid vinegar and water, as that can cause a wood floor to look dingy and won’t remove built-up dirt.
