How to shine hardwood floors

Let’s be honest, to have shiny hardwood floors you would need to hire a professional, which it is too costly. A few months ago, I was watching HGTV and on one of the shows, it showed the viewers on how to bring the shine back into your hardwood floors even dull hardwood floors. I have tried it and it really works.



No worries no harsh chemicals will be use, nor will it harm your hardwood floors and it’s inexpensive. Not only does it shine, but it cleans the floors as well. To maintain the shine I mopped my floors once a week. Check out the materials you need and follow the steps. Trust me very easy and it works.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Water
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Mop
• Sweeper (optional)

1. Use a pail or a bucket to fill it up to at least half or half of a gallon of water.

2. Add 1 cup of apple cider vinegar into the bucket or the pail.

3. Mop your floors against the grain of the wood. Do not drown the mop in water it will leave watermarks on your floor. It should be damp.

4. Sometimes I use this technique but this is optional use the sweeper with the dry cloth its like a buffer brings out the shine even more.
