In a bucket, mix 250 ml of vinegar with 4 liters of hot water. Dip the mop in the bucket and wring it out so that it is damp, not wet. Mop the floor, paying particular attention to the stains. After finishing cleaning the parquet, dry it well with a microfiber cloth. This trick is suitable for cleaning all types of parquet: laminate, raw or oiled.
Note that white vinegar should not be used pure on parquet. It must always be diluted with water so as not to damage your floor. Also, don’t let your white vinegar solution sit on the wood for long. After cleaning the parquet, dry it quickly.
Avoid cleaning the parquet with hard brushes, as they can scratch your parquet. Use soft microfiber cloths instead .
