How to Clean and Polish a Parquet Floor with Natural Ingredients

ADVERTISEMENT

Vinegar is perfect for disinfecting, degreasing and protecting parquet floors. Pour half a glass of vinegar into a bucket full of water and remember to wring out the cloth or rag well before cleaning the floor with it. This way you will avoid excess humidity in the parquet and leave it brighter.

If the parquet is oiled, the ideal is to use a low pH detergent, with water at room temperature, and clean with a well-wrung cloth. This type of flooring should be left to dry naturally, perhaps keeping balconies and windows open.

Olive oil and tea tree oil can also be of great help. Applied with a clean cloth, they will allow us to restore the wood to its original appearance.
