Bellawood Hardwood Floor Cleaner is a soy-based cleaner designed to create a streak-free shine. Unlike soap-based cleaners, soy doesn't damage the finish on wood flooring and won't leave them dull. Bellawood's cleaner is also rated for use on laminate, ceramic and vinyl.
As a natural product, soy is considered safe for the environment and safe for use around your family. Soy is an effective degreaser and can even clean up ink and paint. Soy itself is an oil and reacts with dirt particles to lift them off the surface of your floor. Additives called surfactants help wipe away any residue left by the soy oil.
Use rugs and outdoor mats to help trap dirt before it reaches your floors. Dirt particles can scratch your floor's finish and leave it looking dull. Use felt pads under the legs of heavy furniture and never drag anything across your floors. Sunlight and wear will naturally change the color of your floor over time. Move your rugs and re-arrange your furniture regularly to ensure an even wear pattern.
Clean up small spills immediately using a damp rag or soft, dry cloth. Sweep daily with a soft-bristled broom to remove and dust, dirt or sand that might scratch your floors. Use a vacuum without a beater bar to pick up dirt between the planks. Never use a wet mop on wood floors. Use a product like Bellawood Hardwood Floor Cleaner or one recommended by your floor's manufacturer for deep cleaning.
