Last week we had a query from one of our clients here at https://www.amycleaning.co.uk regarding the cleaning and care of their wooden floor. Their oak flooring had an oil finish and they found a little stained mark that wouldn’t go away no matter what they did. We recommend them to clean the spot with a little bit of baking soda mixed with oil (e.g. olive oil); you just need to rub it slightly until the surface is clean.

Wooden floors are amazing, they light up a room and make it cosy and warm like no other type of flooring. But you need to care for them appropriately so they can stand the time.

If  you have wooden floor that is lacquered, it will always be better to buy a specific polisher for this type of wood flooring to avoid any damage.

Bamboo flooring is softer than oak, so be aware of any scratches made by shoes or furniture; if it gets dirty, just rub a slightly damp soft cloth until the stain is gone.

There are a lot of chemicals made exclusively to clean wooden floors, but be careful which ones you buy; make sure you don’t use any product that will leave residues as this can damage the floor. For this same reason, you will also need to avoid ammonia based chemicals and oil soaps.

Wooden floors will look great with regular hoovering and a micro-fibre cloth mop for a shiny finish.
