[@rickalexander7502]

Great video with very useful tips. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

[@elizabethtaylor3779]

Glad to see you back again 😊 You all might already do this, but I turn on ceiling fans to medium speed to help dry the floor faster. Between that and an excellent spin mop system, it makes floor cleaning quick and easy, which is a huge deal in this house with 9 indoor dogs...36 feet trotting around...floor care is nonstop!

[@CleanThatUp]

YES, the fan tip is great! That is a lot of feet, I can barely keep up with our two pups 😅

[@daveclark6324]

When telling us the secret, Brandon says "It's finally time to come clean." I would have expected no other phrase! 🤣

[@CleanThatUp]

I had to! 🙂

[@Mortuarydrake]

I started using the Bona spray with a swiffer mop a while ago. Glad to hear I've been doing it the right way!

[@KN-lu5ty]

As an upgrade there are microfiber flat mops that are spray mops and will spray the surface with a trigger on the handle

[@_The_Clean_Girl]

Bona is my go to! Love it 🙌🏼

[@sume6103]

Excellet information! I am new to cleaning and will surly be buying one of these and I have hardwood floor through out my house.

[@ingrid2543]

I’ve used Bona for years, keeps the floors nice. Once in awhile I use Murphy’s Oil Soap with the Bona microfiber pad and dry it with a dry pad.

[@CleanThatUp]

Love to hear it!

[@user-tt1wn3ei6g]

Whoo! From Insta to YT, it's always great to learn from you! Our old floors have been somewhat neglected bc I just never really knew how to clean them properly (lots of those 'shine' products and probably too much saturated mops...oops) -- glad you're here to teach folks like me. All good stuff, sir. THANK YOU!

[@atldesigns]

Thank you for this video. We ditched our typical routine and went with the Ecolab cleaner over the weekend. Our floors look great and we cut out some of our unnecessary steps.

[@dianeschuller]

great information and thank you for also sharing your two favourite products.

[@Edog1337]

Im going to keep using Rejuvenate works great

[@espianmashias9565]

I agree

[@NoirHammer]

One main tip for floors is to remove shoes at the door. Also, I would ditch the chemical disinfectants and cleaners and simply use HOCL to kill germs naturally and use Method ++ cleaners.

[@tommypain]

Thank you for all your wonderful tips and techniques. Would you recommend the same products and procedures for us with laminate wood flooring?

[@wonhome2711]

You make cleaning look fun!

[@meizheng8914]

Thanks you for teaching now I know how to clean my hardwood floor? Thanks again!

[@zorikn]

We missed you!!!

[@CleanThatUp]

Glad to be back! The goal this year is weekly uploads!

[@y.e.2103]

Excellent videos. How do we clean and shine stone/ceramic floors? Thank you

[@user-ci5si8jz5h]

Great video and tips

[@kzukiodenthechad7205]

So this cleaner you recommended also disinfects the floor? Cause I’m trying rid the floor of the possible germs and bacteria as well Is Lysol safe for this?

[@Buttercuprincesa]

Ordered my bona 2 weeks ago wish I had it sooner!

[@minicufer]

Do you have any recommendations for a hardwood concentrate/cleaner that is not soapy or doesn’t bubble up?

[@Brazilian202]

Thank you.

[@Humble2348]

Was best cleaner for vinyl flooring ?

[@paris1934]

I heard the Bona cleaner changed the formula and many people are complaining about it. Any thoughts?

[@b.1.1.7divoc7]

Thank you!!!!

[@CleanThatUp]

Thanks you for watching!

[@annamariaciarelli6140]

You talked about ZEP floor cleaner in one of your previous videos . Is that not in your cleaning favorites no more. If not what changed your mind.

[@chinadoll688]

How do you disinfect hard wood floors?

[@rishavm8628]

So cool

[@amandahernandez697]

What if you get a house that had an owner with a cat and it peed on the hardwood floors, is vinegar still not a good option to clean with?

[@Kim-ou7lc]

Wish I knew this 😢the wax did build up and now it sucks on my expensive floora

[@AV1611-truth]

Hi I have a wood floor and there is a sticky area and I’ve washed it with just water and when I swiffer my floor with a dry pad it’s still sticky in that area. Do you have any tips to lift up that sticky area?

[@niki1736]

Your awesome 💥💥

[@zarodgaming1844]

that is not a wooden floor ... that is a gift from God. 😢 Looking at mine and crying ... wo much negligence from the previous owner ...

[@deadringerrr]

what about wood floors that haven’t been varnished/finished?

[@racheljones3697]

Could Bona be used on wood cabinets for cleaning?

[@CleanThatUp]

That’s an interesting question… 🤔 I need to give this a try and look into it.

[@SameOlLei]

What do you recommend to use for cleaning wood dining room table/chairs?

[@NanetteG.-ii4xy]

I'm just an amateur cleaner,,,☺️😁I prefer "'olde English wood cleaners"".. 🎉❤

[@hitmanshivam3889]

Tell us how to clean terrazzo floors (or mosaic flooring)

[@nettleton787]

Bona lol..........had to be done!

[@user-wj8ge9gn1l]

How do I clean carpet and thin carpeting throughout an old house ???

[@AGLBrotherHood]

What if you have old paint on hardwood floors i just brought a house and I tried everything

[@JaySharknado]

Was just looking back at some of your IG posts for this - before starting the video: would this also apply to Parquet Flooring as well? I found your video on planks and it made sense afterwards re: Neutral Floor Cleaner - when I used just regular Mr. Clean on the floor, it was incredibly slippery with socks on afterwards.

[@CleanThatUp]

Yes I would clean those the same. 🙂

[@JaySharknado]

@@CleanThatUp Thanks for the reply! Keep up the great content.

[@therealdejalove]

New sub 🎉

[@miriambeltran194]

Do you have any solutions on how to repair scratches on wood floors?

[@joeteodoro4183]

Sand it down with sandpaper and rub a clear coat over it

[@250Rem]

is that the same paint clean a bamboo hardwood floor?

[@CleanThatUp]

Good question! Yes but bamboo flooring does not like moisture so I’m usually a bit more careful and will come through with a dry microfiber flat mop to finish.

[@cocasio7190]

👍

[@tknows470]

Ok, you earned a sub - I just spotted your 🧀 head so I’m in…

[@berlinetta24]

So no Murphys Oil Soap??

[@user-dj1oc1ik7t]

Even Bons leaves s residue. Just use a cool water (preferably deionized water) damp microfiber mop or pad. Always vacuum first or sweep.

[@Mrsmetamorphosis2012]

Tip never wear shoes in your house.

[@CleanThatUp]

That definitely helps keep them clean! I always have a pair of indoor only shoes in my cleaning kit. Helps my back and keeps my socks dry 😅

[@dragorn3212]

Most of the dirt doesn't come off unless you actually wipe it afterward. The mop itself barely picks up 20% of the dirt. Whoever invents a mop that actually does its job of removing dirt instead of just wetting the surface will be a millionaire

[@CleanThatUp]

Microfiber is one of the best fibers for picking up dirt. If you keep the mop head clean and rinsed it will pick up all most all of the dirt on the floor. To be sure the floor is clean I do a what towel test after. Example here - instagram.com/reel/Cx6anm-OLpn/?igsh=MTl0dmtoaXFuaGF2MQ==

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

@@CleanThatUphello how do I dilute the eco lab in 32 oz bottle please help

[@pamkrugman8991]

Im sorry but Bona causes a buildup over years. I refuse to use it.

[@CleanThatUp]

I’ve never had an issue with it. I will say they have a kinda confusing amount of products on the market. Some do in fact have wax or finishes in them that I definitely don’t suggest. The only one I like is the cleaner.

[@paris1934]

Did you get build up with the CLEANER?

[@Marisolleke]

I noticed that after I used Bona for a while. I'll try the other option!

[@CleanThatUp]

@@Marisolleke the Ecolab product is great!

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

Is the eco lab cleaner safe for knotty pine wood ?
