DANVILLE — A hardwood floor is a big investment, and the best way to protect that investment is by employing proper care and maintenance. However, just any maintenance won’t do—it needs to be appropriate for the type of floor and, more importantly, the type of finish you have.
There are three major finishes used on hardwood floors: urethane, UV oil and oil-based. Each of these finishes requires a different cleaning product (or set of products). Urethane is the most low-maintenance of the three. For cleaning a urethane-finished floor, Bona® Hardwood Floor Cleaner is a good choice. Simply spray your mophead with the cleaner and wipe the floor clean.
On the other hand, UV oil and oil-based finishes require cleaning products that are compatible with their oil-based composition. To get the best results, choose a kit that includes a natural cleaner safe for oil-based flooring, as well as one or more oil refreshing/rejuvenating products. Ideally, you should choose a cleaning kit made by your flooring product’s manufacturer—that way, there’s no question whether it’s appropriate. By doing your research and choosing the correct cleaning product, you can avoid potential issues and keep your hardwood floor looking its best.

Learn how to choose the best hardwood floor cleaning products with expert tips and keep your floors looking their best year-round.
