How to Best Clean Engineered Wood Floors

By Home & Garden Last updated Saturday, May/25/2024

1). The first thing to do when cleaning engineered flooring is to vacuum. Remove as much dirt and debris from the floor as possible before cleaning.
2). Each manufacturer recommends the proper cleaning solution for their flooring. Use these products specifically; if they are unavailable in your area, call the manufacturer and ask them if they can make any other recommendations.
Spray the recommended cleaner onto the flooring. Do not allow the cleaner to pool on the surface of the flooring.
3). Use the appropriate mop for cleaning, as recommended by the manufacturer. Clean small areas at a time. Do not spray the whole floor before you begin cleaning. The cleaner may have time to evaporate before you get to the last area.
4). If the cleaner dries up before you are able to clean the flooring in that area, spray more cleaner on the floor as needed.
5). Allow the floor to dry completely after cleaning and before allowing normal traffic in that area.
