Tacky, dull floor
Q: For some reason after cleaning the floor a couple of days ago, my floor is extremely tacky and dull! I’ve never seen anything like it. I thought that maybe it was just extra dirty from a social gathering we had, therefore, I cleaned it again. Same thing. What happened?
A: What cleaner are you using? If it is not approved for polyurethane finishes (by that, I mean approved by floor and finish manufacturers) then you may get a build up of residue. Or someone may have wiped something else on your floor. Good cleaners come from Bona Kemi, Mirage, Dura Seal and Basic Coatings to name a few. Cleaners I don’t recommend are ——-, oil soaps, oils, and any furniture polishes, etc.
Follow-up Q: Do you think that fabric softener (when washing the cloth) could have caused this?
A: Fabric softener? Quite possibly. If the cleaner doesn’t remove it (better use a different cover for your mop) perhaps you could try denatured alcohol.
