15 Cleaning Tips Everyone With Hardwood Floors Needs To Know

Hardwood floors make an elegant statement in any home, but cleaning them is anything but pretty.

They scratch easily, dirt gets between the slats, and if you have pets, the smell from their messes is almost impossible to get rid of.

If you’re looking for a solution to one — or all — of your hardwood headaches, check out these simple tricks for cleaning, treating, and all-around saving your beautiful flooring.

1. Remove permanent marker from hardwood by spraying the spot with cologne!

You can also get marker stains off with a little toothpaste.

2. Get rid of dents by wetting the spot and dampening a cloth or paper towel. Rub and iron over the cloth on the spot in a circular motion, checking after a minute or two on the progress.

3. Get rid of creaky floors by dusting any noisy spots with baby powder.

4. Get rid of urine stains — and their nasty smells — by spraying the area with hydrogen peroxide.

5. Cut up an old wine cork and glue it to the bottom of your furniture. This will prevent scuffs and scratches when you move things around.

6. Rub walnuts into small scratches and watch them disappear before your eyes.

7. For more extensive marks, though, mix equal parts white vinegar with canola oil and rub it on the area.

8. For an all-natural floor cleaner, brew a few black tea bags and wipe your floors down with a rag that’s damp with the tea. Here’s why it works.

9. You can also make this DIY cleaner with just water, vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and some dish soap.

10. No matter how well you clean and polish your floors, they will start to fade. Bring them back to life by rubbing them down with some Old English lemon oil.

11. Literally erase scuff marks with the common school supply.

12. Get rid of tape residue on your hardwood floors with a mix of two tablespoons of baking soda and a quarter to a half teaspoon of water.

Spread the paste on the sticky area, let it dry, dampen a cloth with water and rub the spot clean.

13. Whatever you do, DON’T clean your hardwood floors with a soaking wet mop. A damp one with soap and water is better.

14. If you notice hairline cracks in the wood, don’t panic. Floors expand and contract during winter and summer months. Wait until the problem solves itself in warmer weather or speed up the process with a humidifier.

15. Finally, make your home a shoe-free zone. Have guests and family members check them at the door to prevent tracking dirt that then creates scratches and scuffs.

Here Are 13 Kitchen Tips That Will Turn Anyone Into A Top Chef.

It’s time to get more flavor out of your kitchen with less hassle. As a microwave chef myself, I know how daunting it can be when you’re going over a list of ingredients and instructions for even the simplest of recipes. With these tips, you’ll be searing up the perfect steak, enjoying a nice side of rice, getting the most out of the lemons life gives you and more.

Take a look!

1.) Microwave lemons for 20-30 seconds and you’ll get a lot more juice out of ’em.

2.) Place a wooden spoon across your pot to keep it from boiling over.

3.) When your brown sugar seems rock solid, sprinkle with water and cover with a damp paper towel, then microwave for 30 second intervals until soft.

4.) Soak mussels and clams in water with a few tablespoons of flour for about 30 minutes to get rid of any sand or grit still inside.

5.) Add a pinch of salt to your cutting board when slicing up herbs to keep them from sticking to your knife.

6.) Remove the core from lettuce by slamming it down on a cutting board — hard.

7.) Garlic will slip right out of its peel after microwaving the cloves for 10 seconds.

8.) Or you can smash the cloves, put them in a couple of bowls and shake really hard.

9.) Use water on your fingers to easily nab stray eggshells.

10.) Don’t thaw your frozen steak before cooking. It will cook more evenly and taste much better.

11.) Rinse rice before preparing in order to avoid any clumps.

12.) And freeze the leftove rice in microwave safe bowls to easily enjoy later with a dash of water and few minutes in the microwave.

13.) Drop some ice cubes into your finished soup or stew to easily scoop out all the yucky fat.
