"Bruce" is a well established company who specializes in various types of floor installations (including laminate, hardwood, tile, Vinyl, etc). The company has some impressive reputation for manufacturing floor cleaning (liquids mainly) as well.
So let's have a look at few of the tips that you should know before using their cleaning chemicals.
1. Always make sure to sweep before using the solution. And they say that a if you use a vacuum cleaner then make sure it has softer brushes. Always try to avoid cleaner pads with hard brushes and they highly recommend the cleaners with swivel-head soft mops (they have their own version of this swivel mops that you can purchase) which will reduce the damage, easy to use it different motions...etc.
2. While using the chemical make sure not to use it in huge quantities on your floor. This can hurt both your "pocket" and the wood surface as well.
3. If you use rugs to cover the hardwood floor then make sure they are "breathable" which means once covered it shouldn't seal the surface fully since it can produce heavy moisturizers in between thus damaging the wood.
4. Never use wet mops for cleaning the hardwood surface since the water can decreases the lifetime of the wood.
5. And try to avoid using these following types of cleaning materials as well - soap, detergents, vinegar, oil and abrasive soaps, etc.
6. Try to avoid walking on the surface with spike like shoes, etc.
7. And when moving objects (chairs, couch, etc) always lift and never let them to glide over because sometimes the damage can be as little as just a scratch which can be fixed with the proper polishing or sometimes the damage can only be fixable by reinstalling part of the floor itself which you should really need to avoid.
8. If you have chairs and other furniture with sharper edges (they usually do) then cover them with rubber seals to absorb the weight and to minimize the damage (carpets and rugs can be used to achieve the same thing)
9. Direct sunlight can also be another damaging factor, so if you have nearby windows make sure to use curtains to cover some of the light.
10. Try to keep the humidity level between 35-55 %.
When trying to remove stains -
(from food, etc) with the Bruce hardwood floor cleaner, use a soft piece of clothe or a towel and rub it with the chemical gently. Their cleaning solution specializes in removing lipsticks, ink spots, heel marks left out by rubber materials, candle wax and bubble gum and the list goes on.
For minor scratches you can use their "Touch up Kit" to level the hardwood floor but.... as mentioned before, there can be other types of damages that are beyond repairing by using floor cleaner chemicals (hard carved damages, etc) and in those occasions you'll have nothing but to individually replace the planks or the whole floor itself. So I hope that after reading this article about Bruce hardwood floor cleaner you gained some useful information which can be helpful for you to maintain the surfaces properly.
The euro pro shark is a pretty good cleaning product that you might want to have a look at if you're looking for a commercial floor cleaning machine.
