Question about Wood Floors
Edited on Wed Jan-21-04 02:06 PM by Jack_Dawson
Thanks to everyone for your responses last week regarding wood floors. I guess "Swedish-X" is the best cleaner.

Now for a follow-up. Is there a liquidless way to get all the dust off my floor? I've tried a swiffer-type thing but it just moves the dust around. Are there "dust mops" that actually collect the dust w/o my having to dampen the floor? Juss wunderin'

Thx in advance.

2. Lambswool floor mop.
The lanolin in the wool helps hold the dust. Probably around $25.

4. Nope
I use both the lambs wool and a plain 'ol dust mop from HomeDepot. I don't spray either with anything like EndDust etc.

5. Doesn't coat the floor, doesn't scratch, and
doesn't use electricity.

9. Get a good one
The cheapies aren't thoroughly cleaned and leave lanolin on the floor for the first few uses.

10. They leave furballs
Then they eat them and puke on your semi-clean floor. YUCK!
