All Natural Wood Floor Cleaner

I'm looking for a non-toxic, eco-friendly wood floor cleaner. Preferably without too strong of a scent. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

What can I do next?

I used vinegar and warm water on mine. It's cheap, easy, and works better than anything else I've tried.

Murphy oil soap. It's 98% natural or something like that.

We use Bona, and it's eco-friendly. We got ours from Lowes in a kit with a mop. It's awesome and has very little noticeable scent.

If you have sealed floors. You are cleaning the finish not the wood.

Think of it as cleaning a mirror, you wouldn't clean a mirror or window with an oil based product because it will just make it cloudy. That's what murphy oil's soap and other oil based cleaners.

The best method is a damp mop using a mixture of water and vinegar. The mop shouldn't be dripping wet. After it drys you can go over with an dry micro fiber cloth mop to buff to a shine.

Murphy's oil soap or vinegar and water. I like to alternate.

What sort of wood finish do you have? The types of ingredients that your wood flooring will tolerate best will depend on the type of finish it's got. Sometimes water-based cleaners (or oil- or wax-based ones) will cause damage and void the flooring warrantee.
