Thanks x

There's a bottle of pledge in the cupboard, so I tried that (may as well use it up) with my Coates enjo style mop but it left the floor dull and streaky. Any tips to stop that?

You could try Vinegar with some eucalyptus oil, dishwash detergent or the Pledge Wood Magic - I use the Decor speed mop (or called something to that effect) - it has a microfibre side to it.

We have jarrah floorboards, and I was reading the other day that for them you should use a broom wrapped in stocking or pantihose. Then use a mix of 1 cup vinegar, 2 cups tea made up in a bucket of water. Then dry as you go. Now, I haven't tried the broom trick because I just use old towels but the tea/vinegar mix works great on ours!

Thanks Lee! And that doesn't leave your floors streaky or dull?

Thanks Boo Boo, tried pledge but it left the floors streaky and dull.

So I might try drying as I go then and see if that works?

Well, amazingly it hasn't seem to leave ours streaky..but I do think the drying as you go helps with that (I dry them by using a towel under my feet and swivelling!! ). But we got our floors finished in a satin so ours are a bit more forgiving with streaks compared to like a high gloss.

Thanks for that, will try drying it as I go lol
