1). Sweep up any dirt and dust on your hardwood floors.
2). Pour two gallons of water into a bucket.
3). Add 1/2 cup ammonia to the water.
4). Open up any windows that may surround the hardwood floors. Ammonia is very strong and should be used in well-ventilated areas.
5). Fill another bucket with just water.
6). Dip the mop in the ammonia solution and wring out excess liquid.
7). Begin to use the mop on the hardwood floors.
8). Clean the mop every few minutes by dipping the mop in the water bucket and wringing it out, and then dipping it again into the ammonia.
9). Rinse the floors by using water and a clean mop.
