Is it normal that walking barefoot on your wood floors would leave footprints that have to be rubbed out?
Q: We recently purchased a brand new house with pre-finished Brazilian hard wood floors. During the inspection we noted that there were foot prints all over the floor that did not wipe up. When we took possession of the house, these foot prints were still present. Thus far, we have had the builders come in 3 times and each time they say it requires a good cleaning. For the most part, the foot prints are gone now, but the last time they cleaned the floors one of their workers said they were using paint thinner. They are denying that comment now, but it seems that whenever we walk across the floors barefoot it leaves footprints. Is it normal that walking barefoot on your wood floors would leave footprints that have to be rubbed out?
A: I think someone has used an “unfriendly” cleaner that has left a residue on the finish. You should go to your nearest hardwood retailer and buy a gallon of concentrated Bona Pacific Floor Cleaner, which you will mix according to label instructions with water. This stuff will work wonders. www.bonakemi.com
