Mop with the Boards edges - not across them!

Use as little as possible of the vinegar - start off with a small amount then a little more IF needed. Do not for get some Elbow Grease.

vinegar can deteriorate the finish and never mop a floor too much water. Bona makes a floor care kit that is safe for all harwood floors with a urethane finish

Ma'am,

I did the same thing you advised. Except that instead of adding 1/4 cup of vinegar, I've added a FULL cup into a ONE GALLON of hot water...question... is there any concerns with this excess of vinegar?

Thanks,

Javier
