    Question Best mop for hardwood polished floors?

    What is the best mop for hardwood polished floors? (normal mop, sponge, or the ones similar to Enjo, etc)
    And the best floor cleaner?

    I prefer to be as natural as possible, so something that's nice on the environment too.

    Thanks x

    That's what I used on our lino floors, I just wasn't sure if I should be doing anything special on the wood floors. Thanks!

    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.

    Melbel is right. Just find a steam mop with a thick pad. The more frequent you change it the cleaner and drier your floors will be. For laminate wood and tile floors. Wouldn't recommend a steam cleaner for bamboo flooring with no seal. General rule of thumb, if it's sealed it's fine as long as it doesn't put too much moisture onto the surface. I'm a sales person for a company selling steam Mops and cleaning products. If you have any issues or questions my inbox is open. X
