In order to clean your hardwood floor and make it shinier than ever, you need a list of materials and items to get the job done in no time.
Below are the materials that would come in handy.
- A scuff mark remover tool
- mop
- vacuum
- Holloway House Quick Shine or Rejuvinate floor shine
Once you’ve gotten all these items, it’s time to begin the work.
Below are the few steps you need to follow.
Step 1: Clean and vacuum the floor thoroughly
Start by sweeping or vacuuming the floors to remove any dust, dirt, or debris.
Make sure to clean along the edges and in corners where dirt tends to accumulate.
To remove scuff marks from the hardwood floor, you can use a tennis ball or a scuff mark remover tool which can easily be gotten on Amazon.
Step 2: Mop with a Damp Cloth:
The next step after vacuuming is to dampen a microfiber cloth or mop with the hardwood floor cleaner.
Select a hardwood floor cleaner that is specifically formulated to clean and add shine to wood floors.
You should also avoid using products that contain wax or oil because they can leave a residue and dull the shine over time.
Next, wring out any excess water to prevent over-wetting the floors, which can cause damage.
Try mopping the floors in the direction of the wood grain to effectively clean and remove any remaining dirt or grime.
Step 3: Dry Completely
Allow the floors to air dry completely before proceeding to the next step. Avoid walking on the wet floors in order to prevent leaving footprints or smudges
Step 4: Apply hardwood floor polish and buff the floors
Once the floors are dry, apply a hardwood floor polish or shine enhancer.
You can use Holloway House Quick Shine or Rejuvinate floor shine as an enhancer.
It work wonders and one of the main ingredient for making your hardwood shine effectively and its usually available on Amazon.
You can also simply just check in with your local store to get one.
Then, use a clean microfiber cloth or applicator pad to spread the polish evenly across the floor surface. Make sure to work in small sections to ensure thorough coverage.
After applying the hardwood floor polish, use a clean microfiber cloth or buffing pad to buff the floors to a high shine.
Use gentle, circular motions to evenly distribute the polish and bring out the shine.
That’s all you need to do in order to make your hardwood shine once again!
