For years we tried various floor cleaners that would work for cleaning our floors.
It’s tricky because we have a combination of tile, vinyl and wood flooring, so to find the perfect cleaner that could use place in one bucket for mopping them all come Saturday cleaning days, was not so easy, and it was expensive!
Most wood floor cleaners average around $10 per quart bottle. We used Murphy’s Oil for years and it does a decent job.
We still use it on our wood furniture, but for the floors we’ve found something that works equally well for all of our floors and it’s a lot less expensive.
