Wood floors have a haze over them

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Since we moved in, the wood floors have a haze over them. We have two active boys and several dogs. We tried to keep the floors as clean as possible. I tried cleaning with almost every type of cleaning product out there, even just water. They all just make it worse. With a sock I can buff it out and make them shiny again, but just a small area because it takes too long.

Mop residue on wood floors

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

I have been using “X” wet mop for about two bottles of cleaner’s worth. This came recommended to me. There is now a streaky residue on my floors that I would like to remove. The residue is also causing other aesthetic problems. What is the best way to remove the residue? Rest assured the wet mop has swiftly left the area.

Tacky, dull floor

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

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?

Reviving shine in wax wood floors

Saturday, July 30th, 2005

How do I revive the shine to my no wax wood floors? The floor in front of my bay window has faded. How can I bring the shine back? At one time I think I used some ammonia on the floors. Could this have caused the shine to become dull? If so, how can I correct this?

Touch up kit caused dull spots

Saturday, July 30th, 2005

I recently bought a home with a hardwood floor. The floors are ******** and I bought a touch up kit that went along with the floors. After I used the touch up kit the polyurethane finish is dull (and of course it’s a conspicuous area). I cannot get the shine to match the rest of the floor. Is there anything I can do?
