Hardwood floors from 50's (shellaced?) need cleaned; how to do it? Took wall to wall up, floor needs cleaned. | |
I took the carpet and pad up in the bedrooms, the floor isn't in bad shape, but it needs cleaning. This oak floor dates from the 50's. I don't know if it's been refinished or not. Carpeting has been down for at least 20 years. I was going to use Murphy's Oil Soap, but online experts say NO, that it leaves residue which will cause trouble if we do want to refinish it later. I don't want to have to buff the floor, I just want it cleaner so I can start using it now. I don't want to do a lot of work altho I am willing to get down on my hands and knees with a damp rag. I don't want to use harsh chemicals. A lot of the cleaners on the market now specify that they are for polyurethane finished hardwood floors....I don't think this is. I was going to use Orange Glo, but it's for poly. HELP is very much appreciated. I want to get this room back in use. Thanks.
