Sharon housekeeping service
Answer: Yes
Explanation: Yes, you should mop hardwood floors, but always use a damp mop, not a soaking wet one to avoid damaging the wood by exposing it to too much moisture; regularly sweeping or vacuuming is also crucial, and in high-traffic areas, damp mopping once a week is recommended, while less trafficked areas may only need mopping once a month or season. Key points to remember: • Use a damp mop: Never use a soaking wet mop on hardwood floors. • Proper cleaning solution: Use a cleaner specifically designed for hardwood floors. • Follow the wood grain: When mopping, always move along the direction of the wood grain. • Dry thoroughly: Make sure to dry the floor completely after mopping. • Regular maintenance: Sweep or vacuum regularly to prevent dirt build-up.

Tc's Hardsurfaces& more LLC
Answer: Yes
Explanation: Mopping hardwood floors can be done, but it should be approached with caution. It's important to avoid using excessive water, as moisture can damage hardwood. A damp mop or a hardwood-specific cleaning product is typically recommended. Always wring out the mop thoroughly to ensure it's only slightly damp, and avoid letting water sit on the surface of the floor. It's also a good idea to follow the flooring manufacturer's care instructions for the best maintenance practices.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: There is a proper way to mop hardwood floors. They are not meant to be very wet, and many chemicals are too harsh for hardwood floors. It is best to use what the customer wants you to use. I always like to ask “Are these real hardwood floors?” and “What do you prefer to use on them?”
