Complimentary Spot and Stain Removal Solutions

You scrub and scrub and clean your hardwood but you notice that there is this haze or cloudiness on the hardwood in the living room. The source of this issue is usually a result of the chemicals and liquids used or spilled on the ground. This is taking away from the beauty and clean lines of hardwood flooring. So what can you do to fix the haze on your hardwood floors?

The following is one approach that could help remove the issue:

Step 1

Use your vacuum or broom to sweep the hardwood floor around the area of the haze. Should your vacuum have a brush head, we recommend using this as this can help dig deep and remove the residue on the floor. This step helps remove the stuff that would be making the floor dirty.

Step 2

The next step is to create a solution to clean the area by combining a ½ cup of ammonia and a gallon of warm water.

Step 3

Use the above formula with a soft cloth mop (i.e. terry cloth) to clean the impacted area.

Step 4

After you’ve mopped the area, you should remove the solution using a microfiber cleaning cloth. This should be followed by buffing the dry floor through circular motions, applying moderate pressure on the hazy areas.

Step 5

Upon completion, let the floor recover by not walking on it for 1 hour.

Lastly, if the problem persists, repeat the above process until the haziness leaves. The following are some additional tips to maintaining your hardwood flooring:

  • On a weekly basis, you should be vacuuming the area with a brush head and using a damp mop. You can even use some mild water with microfiber cleaning cloth.
  • Place hardwood designed floor mats in high traffic areas and have them shaken off each week.
