What is the recommended cleaner for real hardwood floors.
Was told Orange Glo and Murphy's shouldn't be an option. We were recommended Bonnie Kime (not sure on spelling), but it isn't available at Costco and isn't on order either. Thanks.
My wife likes to use Weiman floor cleaner. It's biodegradable, plant derived, about $5 for 27oz. Works for all hard surface flooring. No harsh petrochemicals, ammonia, VOC's or phosphates, safe to use around kids and pets. I don't actually know about the effects when refinishing, but it works well for cleaning, and no residue. Maybe this could be a good alternative for you? I have heard
