Products and Methods to avoid when cleaning Real Hardwood Flooring

In the day and age of new Influencers striving to come up with new methods of cleaning, it is easy to get confused and overwhelmed when it comes to advice available online.

There is plenty to say about using electric steamers on your real hardwood flooring. Please don't ever do this, regardless how convincing the sales person at that Home Show was. You will be damaging not only the finish of your hardwood, but also you will be destroying the integrity of the wood overtime.

The newest craze we keep seeing, petrifies us to the core. Women all over Canada and US are using spin mops like the one we recommend for Luxury Vinyl Plank Floor cleaning; with boiling water (!), dishwasher detergent pods, some aromatherapy oils and laundry softeners! If I could just somehow express my outrage here in a polite way. Are you kidding me?! If this is used on real hardwood flooring, they are single-handedly destroying the finish and the wood of their often very expensive new hardwood floors! The warranty? G O N E! Trust me on this. Do not ever do this on real hardwood.

Hardwood flooring should only be cleaned using products recommended for specific species by the manufacturer, specifically formulated or intended for the finish brand.

Please DO NOT USE on your hardwood flooring

Please refrain from using Rejuvenate on your real hardwood flooring; it will cause your varnish to bubble and peel with repeated use over time.

Over the last several months, we had repeated, frantic calls from customers asking to remedy a problem that was created when this was used on hardwood in hopes to restore the former lustier.

At first the flooring looks nice and shiny, then with time the varnish starts to bubble, and with time it continues to peel.
