How To Clean Shiny Wood Floors

Here are the steps on how to clean shiny wood floors:

1. Gather your supplies.
You will need a broom or vacuum cleaner, a mop, a bucket, a pH-neutral cleaner, and a soft cloth.

2. Sweep or vacuum the floor.
This will remove any loose dirt or debris that could scratch the floor.

3. Mix the cleaning solution.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the amount of cleaner to use. Most pH-neutral cleaners will require you to mix 1/4 cup of cleaner with one gallon of warm water.

4. Mop the floor.
Dip the mop into the cleaning solution and wring it out so that it is damp but not soaking wet. Mop the floor in the direction of the wood grain. Be sure to rinse the mop frequently in clean water to avoid spreading dirt around.

5. Dry the floor.
Use a soft cloth to dry the floor completely. This will help to prevent water damage and streaks.

6. Buff the floor.
Once the floor is dry, you can buff it with a soft cloth to bring out its shine.

Here are some additional tips for cleaning shiny wood floors:

Always test the cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it does not damage the finish.
Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on wood floors.
Do not flood the floor with water.
Clean spills immediately to prevent them from staining the floor.
Protect the floor from scratches by using furniture pads and area rugs.

By following these tips, you can keep your shiny wood floors looking their best for years to come.
