What should you look for in a floor cleaner? To get the best results, choose floor cleaning products specifically designed for the floor surface you wish to clean. Choose from hardwood floor cleaners, stone, tile and laminate floor cleaners, vinyl floor cleaners, wood floor cleaner and more; in addition to cleaning products you may need floor restorer, lemon oil or a similar polish or rejuvenating product.Regardless of the type of floor you are cleaning, sweep and/or vacuum the floor first to remove surface dirt and dust. If you skip this step or do not thoroughly sweep or vacuum first, any further cleaning efforts which employ a liquid, spray or wipe will simply rearrange the dirt instead of removing it. Weekly cleaning is best, with spot cleanups on an as-needed basis and a deep clean every 3 to 6 months.
