How and why do you think you have grease and dirt on your floor? Where is the grease coming from. The "dirt" is dust settling on your floor. Vacuum your floor first with a Swiffer and pick up all the dust. Ive been in the hardwood floor business for 40 years. Under no circumstances should you be using a clothing detergent pod on your hardwood floor. Cleaners are developed by the manufacturer so that your floor will be clean with no damage to the finish on the hardwood. Im just dumbfounded that people think using concentrated soap meant for your clothes on your wood. No alcohol on your wood either. Wood floors have a special finish on them called aluminum oxide. There is usually 4 coats. You can damage the finish on the wood. Wood and water absolutely do not mix. Go to any hardwood floor manufacturer and see if they recommend laundry detergent water and alcohol. NO! Would you clean your clothes with toilet bowl cleaner? Cleaning products are developed for a particular product. No Pine Sol no liquid Gold or Murphy's oil soap no steam. either. Wodd floors are not supposed to be shiny. They will have a satin to Matte finish. Hardwood floor manufacturers recommend Bona. They have a whole line of hardwood floor products and will keep your floor looking great for 40 years. Find out what type of hardwood floors you have. Go to the Bona website and find the product that is recommended gor your floor. If you have Luxury Vinyl Plank and sheet vinyl also have recommended cleaning products. For picking up dust on the hardwood vacuum or dry Swiffer.
