How to have a streak free Bellawood/alum oxide finished floor??

13 years ago

I have brazilian cherry bellawood in our great room. I have cleaned it with Bona which left it streaky, and also vinegar and water which left cloudy. I have tried cleaning on my hands and knees and using a microfiber mop. Any other suggestions? I really would love to have my floor not have a cloudy/streaky residue.

I have Bellawood Brazilain Cherry in my kitchen, all dining room and powder room.

I use Parker and Bailey wood floor cleaner from Bed Bath and Beyond with a large, terry cloth mophead. I wet with water the mop head and ring it REALLY well -- then spray and wipe the floor down. P&B does have vinegar in it. It works as good as anything I have tried. I find it if your mop head is too wet it will streak.
