Minwax 621270004 Hardwood Floor Cleaner, 32 ounce

I have a couple thousand square feet of Brazilian Ruby Ironwood with an aluminum oxide finish in my home, and every hardwood floor cleaner I tried left a very subtle but visible (at a certain angle) hazy / cloudy finish. It was extremely irritating. This is the ONLY hardwood floor cleaner I have found that leaves NO residue... just a clean finish. My housekeeper uses it to clean our hardwood floors every month, and we are extremely pleased with the results. But what about over time, right? We have been using this exact product - Minwax Hardwood Floor Cleaner - every month for three years (that's 36 applications)... and no residue, no build-up, no problems. Obviously, you must remember to mop up with clean water after using it... and dry your floors... but one quick pass is sufficient... it is easy-to-use. After cleaning the hardwood floors, we use large microfiber towels to dry the water from the floor. I recommend this product with great enthusiasm and my highest level of personal endorsement. There is nothing out there better than this.

I have polyurethane coating on my hardwood floors, and I bought this cleanser along with the high gloss MinWax Floor Restorer. These worked like a charm! I've since used the cleanser alone for times when my Shark mop just won't cut it. All our floors are marble and hardwood (and this is ONLY a cleanser for wood), and I'd been satisfied with just the Shark for a few years. I didn't imagine I'd use the MinWax cleanser aside from the times I polish the floor with the Restorer, but I was wrong. This product leaves the floor cleaner and newer/nicer than the Shark ever does. It doesn't take away scratches, but the color looks more even and nice. Since I had a hard time figuring out which products to use, I'll share my hints. There are two types of hardwood floors and each has its own way of cleaning. THE TEST: You can test your floor to see if your hardwood is waxed or polyurethane-coated. To do so, spill a few drops of water on your floor. If it beads up, you have poly floors; water will start to sink into waxed floors. Deep cracks in poly-coated floors can absorb water, so it's not advisable to test those areas as water is harmful for bare wood. - Waxed Hardwood: Usually this is only in very old/historic homes. I have no idea how to wax floors, so I'm no help here! - Polyurethane-Coated Hardwood: The flooring in my home was laid about 12 years ago by the previous owner, and with poly coating. You cannot use wax on poly floors or you'll blur them badly. Wax won't ruin poly floors, but it also won't adhere so it'll become a mess to remove. I read that a lot of poly cleansing/restoring sets leave an orange/amber hue, so I bought the MinWax because it doesn't do that. A note on quantity- we have about 1,275 SQFT and after using it three times on the whole lot, my bottle is still quite full. Beautiful floors, I'm glad I bought it!

Great floor cleaner!

When our Menards quit selling this, I found it here on Amazon. It works great but had real good luck with filling a bucket of water with a couple TBSP's each of Pine Sol & White Vinegar also.

Have used this product on my satin finished oak floors throughout my home for many years. It is a fabulous product and leaves no residue. You simply take a damp sponge mop and squirt a little on your floor section by section. Use your sponge mop to apply. Dries in minutes after application. Fabulous product.

I had prefinished solid hardwood floors installed in my house last year and for months, I struggled to find a product that would clean them well. I tried the Bona product in the spray bottle, which left my floors streaky and covered in a residue I could feel underfoot. This Minwax cleaner left them looking and feeling clean and natural with no streaks or residue. I don't understand how some reviewers could be getting sticky floors after using this product unless they're using too much or using it with a dry mop rather than a damp one. I use a well wrung-out damp mop and I squirt a small amount of this cleaner directly on the floor in an 'S' pattern as the instructions recommend, then mop it over the area and move on to the next one. It works like a charm and leaves my floors feeling and looking clean with no residue and a pleasant smell. I'm hooked!

After a few years of cleaning the floor with Bona products, I realized that the floor wasn't getting really clean. I bought the Minwax product at the local hardware store, and it has been a game changer. The floor gets very clean, doesn't streak and has little if any residue. The prices for the products are little high, but a little goes a long way. Give this a try!

When we moved into a new house there were plenty of skid marks on the floor from the last family moving out and then a lot of built up grime because maybe they weren't the cleanest. We put a lot of our own skid marks on the floor from the dollies hauling everything in. We used this to clean all of that off and it left the floors looking completely clean and new. It didn't take much. A good coat of minwax polish later and the floors looked great.

I have been using this product for many years. Love it!

This is a product we have always used. The store where we buying it, not longer stocked it. Glad Amazon does because my wife says it is easy to use and does a great job on hardwood floors.

No residue. Great for our cabin with water sometimes hard to come by. The floor gets cleaned.

Great cleaner for hardwood floors Cleans and gives floor luster sheen As everything cost has went up And cannot buy in any store in Ontario any more very disappointed about that
