I think the people who are asking about the after maybe want a longer after shot because it's only on the screen for a split second so it's like If you blink you miss it 😅 ❤ looks great to me. We all have to make do with what we have, we have rented a house in the past with hardwood floors definitely not my favorite floors in a rental, especially when they haven't been cared for very well.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I think you’re right, I’ll have to redo this. That’s exactly what happening, the owners have not been taking care of this floor. Which I kind of understand being that it’s a rental.
I did this when I first moved into a house with my mom. Only time I’d ever mop hardwood floors, mopping them definitely ruins them but I’m sure you know that.
Im sorry but that is just plain wrong - mopping hardwood and often is what you should be doing - just use the appropriate cleaners (clue: plain soap works) and dont leave tonnes of water on the floor aka moist not wet
I like using Murphy Soap amzn.to/3XlgjJX It works really good to get them clean and also protects them. Just make sure you really wrong out the mop or use a spray mop to prevent damage to the wood.
I know. Unfortunately these are rental floors and there trashed! I’ve tried everything except sanding them and starting over and if we owned them I’d 💯 do it. Thanks for your comment.
I've been mopping 200+ year old wood floors for 50 years. The key is slightly damp mop. Every other year, I strip the paste wax off, scrub with brush and cleaner and suck it up with shop vac. You just can't let lots of water stand there for long. Then after dry, I reapply paste wax and buff them. These are unfinished floors with polyurethane on them. With the paste wax, it scratches but the poly doesn't.
@@MamaBellshomesince it's a rental, you might try rejuvenate. It does lay down a shine and a little protective coat. But it eventually peels so I wouldn't use it if it was my floor. But we've done it in rentals when floors werent ready to be re-sanded.
I use murphy’s soap amzn.to/4a1VSrm because it seems to work the best to clean but also be good for the wood. I definitely think these floors need to be redone but it’s helpful in the meantime. 😉
Yeah, these are really old floors and we’re renting so I can’t do much but in person you can definitely see the difference! I’ll have to do another video with a better camera 📷
Thats just disgusting. Unsanitary health hazard. How does one let it get that bad?? I would of been ashamed of myself for walking on such filth. I bet the people who lived here walked bear foot and have a permanent layer of black filth on their soles.

Not really. If you use the right stuff mopping will not damage.

Thanks for choosing O-Cedar! Happy Cleaning!
Love the mop!
@@MamaBellshome We are so happy to hear that!
What do you use to clean wooden floors? They get dirty daily
I like using Murphy Soap amzn.to/3XlgjJX It works really good to get them clean and also protects them. Just make sure you really wrong out the mop or use a spray mop to prevent damage to the wood.
I mop mine 3 times in a row and omg always it’s crazy aye how much dirt there is
Yes! So so much dirt 😬
You’re not supposed to use water on wood floors like that

@@MamaBellshome this is our problem and I’ve been trying to find the best solution, so far I use zep floor cleaner diluted with water. 🤷♀️
Oo I’ll have to try

Maybe do a bucket 🪣 #4 😂😂
What did you use? Our new
House wood floor look just like this

Where is the after?
It’s there at the end. These are really old floors with a lot of damage! It was considerably different from start to finish.
@@MamaBellshomeneeded a longer shot 💜
@@divinefeminine4946 Where at? The after?
@@MamaBellshome yes 💛
That needs easy off or some sand paper, hard work is what that's going to take.
Yeah I know it needs some serious work. If we buy it we’ll do the work, but for now I’m just doing my best to keep it as clean as possible.
You can't really see the after
Yeah, these are really old floors and we’re renting so I can’t do much but in person you can definitely see the difference! I’ll have to do another video with a better camera 📷
What did u use to clean? I have the same floors?
I used Murphy soap. The link is in the description 😉
😖 dayum
Its not filthy seems like the wood is loosing its pigment or something
Yes. They’re original hardwood floors from 1904. This is also a rental property so it hasn’t been well maintained.
Could’ve just sanded it
I’d love to but we’re renting
Yeah but then you've got to poly, sand, poly, sand about 4 repetitions
Thats just disgusting. Unsanitary health hazard. How does one let it get that bad?? I would of been ashamed of myself for walking on such filth. I bet the people who lived here walked bear foot and have a permanent layer of black filth on their soles.
With 7 kids and unsealed floors it does get quite dirty. I clean them every week though which keeps it manageable so no filthy feet here 😉
