When you have a dirty wood floor, don’t make the situation worse. Traditional wet mops and other cleaning methods can use way too much water or otherwise compromise the finish of your floor. Swiffer WetJet Wood has the approval of the National Wood Flooring Association since they use a minimal amount of liquid without harsh chemicals.
Are you looking for a reliable, safe way of cleaning your wood floors? We recommend Swiffer for wood floors. It's a product that has the approval of the National Wood Flooring Association. We are a member of the NWFA—they explained that Swiffer took a lot of steps to ensure that their product worked well for cleaning wood floors without damaging the hardwood or the finish.
Unfortunately, that's not true of many other cleaning products, which can leave contaminants on the surface of the floor and could interfere with the refinishing process. Other methods of cleaning could use too much moisture would compromise the floor because water and wood don't mix. Lastly, you want to make sure that whatever you use on the floor doesn't interfere with the finish.
Swiffer passes the test on those three issues.(And no, we don’t receive any money from Swiffer to endorse their product—we just want your wood floor to last for as long as it can!)
