There is nothing more impressive that a finely polished hardwood floor. They can make even the most ordinary home look like they belong in the pages of House and Garden magazine. But there's just one problem-hardwood floors are notoriously difficult to maintain. Every mote of dust and dirt sticks to these floors like glue and makes them appear dull and neglected. Not to mention the constant threat of scuff marks from shoes and sneakers. In fact, many people with beautiful hardwood floors opt to cover them with carpet when they have kids because they believe they will be damaged beyond repair. But hardwood floors are not impossible to maintain, it just takes a little extra effort and the right tools. Floor mops from companies like Fuller Brush can make cleaning even the dirtiest floor a whole lot easier.
What you should know
Before you use a wet mop, you should read the instructions or check with the floor's manufacturer to make certain that it is safe to use a wet mop on it. Many floors are made from materials that can be damaged by water and in that case it is always best to use a dry mop. If, however, it is safe to use water to clean your floor, there is no better tool than a wet mop. Floor mops from Fuller Brush are some of the most durable and effective on the market today.
What should you look for when selecting a floor mop?
You should purchase a floor mop that has a head that is made from 100% cotton. Time and time again, cotton has proved to be the superior material for use in mops heads. Not only is cotton stronger than any other material, but it also one of the most absorbent. In fact, a cotton mop can absorb up to four times its weight in water. Floor mops from Fuller Brush are the only ones in the country that have been granted the distinguished Cotton Seal.
Once you have found that perfect mop, it's time to get to work and make those hardwood floors shine. When cleaning with a wet mop, it's always best to move in a figure eight pattern from one end of the room to the other. This will not only save you time, but it will also take pressure off you back and joints. While you may choose to use a floor cleaner or polish, you should be careful not to use too much. Many floor cleaners and polishes are incredibly strong and you don't want to over polish you floor, which will have everyone sliding around like they're on ices skates. Beside, with high absorbency floor mops like the ones from Fuller Brush, a little dab'll do ya.
