    Question, when cleaning a wood floor, you go with the grain, correct? My floor they put the grain of the wood crosswise. Meaning when I’m entering the kitchen they have the floor grain running horizontally instead of vertically, and with about 4 feet from stove/counter across from other counter. How do you go with the grain to clean? Clean, actually on knees and go down on all fours and clean by hand, or can it just cleaned in this area against the grain on the hardwood floor section? I usually go on all 4’s and clean along the grain, but getting kinda hard to always go on all 4’s to clean by hand on floor to go with grain.

    Go over it a few times with a warm damp mop. Rinse the mop out in between each pass. There’s too much soap in that recipe. You only need two tiny drops of dish soap for that much water. I would stick to just water and soap for that recipe.

    For wood floors, use a TINY BIT of an oil soap, like Dr. Bronners, or Murphys in warm water. I do mean TINY! Tiny means a few drops to 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 or 1 teaspoon, depending on the amount of water in your bucket. And DRY IMMEDIATELY AFTER WITH A SOFT TOWEL OR RAG... DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR VINEGAR ON WOOD FLOORS, or wood surfaces. Rarely, if absolutely necessary, you can use a vinegar combo, but we're talking a stain, or wax buildup; and maybe only one or two times in the life of the wood floor.

    Using vinegar and water as a homemade wood floor cleaning solution can have a negative effect on your wood floor. It's important to remember that when you clean your wood floors, you aren't actually cleaning the wood you're cleaning the chemical finish that's on the wood. The finish is the protective layer of your wood floors. Since vinegar is an acid, it will actually break down the finish on the surface of your floor, and over time it will reduce the shine, and leave a dull appearance. Using vinegar and water to clean floors can also lead to an excessive amount of water on the floor, which can cause swelling and discoloration.

    You should NOT be using vinegar on sealed hardwood floors nor unsealed grout. Vinegar dissovles both.

    I bought that mop and it was very disappointing. I think it was over $50 the mechanism doesn’t work to hold it into position or to alternate to have a pivot. The so called holders didn’t work very well to hold a cloth for dusting high places or removing cob webs. The Velcro is weak for holding the mop pad in place. I wrote to them, I wanted a refund, I never got a reply. She might have some good cleaning tips but I won’t buy anything from her again!
