Q: I installed hardwood floors using wood glue. I’d prefer to use vinegar and water to clean hardwood floors, because it’s an environmental choice, but will that wear away the adhesion of the glue?
A: It won’t disturb the glue since you are only dampening a mop and wiping the floor. If you were soaking the floor you will likely damage the wood itself. In time the vinegar may dull your finish.
