How to prevent hardwood floors from leaving foot prints once cleaned.

Question

Recently moved into a older home, hardwood throughout the house. On the main level I have tried numerous products and get the same result...foot prints or marks from furniture (they have pads on feet), its just in 2 areas and very noticeable. Tried to take picture but you cannot see marks.

thanks

Sounds like there is a residue on the floors. Try cleaning them with white vinegar and water

We have had hardwood floors in our 7 different homes and have used a lot of HW floor products over the years. We stopped the steam mop when it started blistering off the finish at the seams on a new traditional oak hw floor installation.

The past two years we have been using the BONA mop and solution and we're very pleased with the results.

Sounds like there's a build up of the product. Try using Murphy's Soap and water. Should help.

drying the floor as you clean also helps. using an old towel or a dry dust mop.
