Easy Tips to Keep Hardwood Floors Clean

Between dust, dirt, dirty feet, sticky hands, juice cups, snacks and the list goes on…keeping your hard wood floors clean can be a task.  Yet having the right tools and cleaner is vital in keeping the life of your hard wood floors looking pristine.

If you know me…I’m a clean freak to the negative side…if I let it…it will drive me crazy…so with a little one I’m learning day by day to let some of it go…I often remind myself – it will clean and be ok!  Yet when I find products like this Bona that sure make my life easier I can let myself be a clean freak because cleaning my floors takes a matter of seconds vs. hours!  WIN! for this mama!

All of that to say a few tricks to keep your floors squeaky clean…

1. Daily Maintenance: Keep your floors free from dirt/sand…this will keep the life of your hardwood floors longer.  Why because the dirt and sand will rub on your wood floors and create a sandpaper affect. Bona has the best solution for providing a complete clean by gently and effectively removing dust, dirt and grime.
2. Establish a few rules (if you can) all drinks and food stay in the kitchen!
3. Take your shoes off as you come in the house
4. Use a Bona hard wood floor cleaner –  No floor is complete, unless its Bona complete!  Bona is a family owned company, for nearly 100 years they’ve provided home owners with tried and true premium products. IT is also GREENGUARD GOLD certified which confirms it’s safe for use in your home and around your family!!!  DIY cleaners i.e. vinegar and water may damage the finish of their floors!
