    Taking Care of Business!!!

    Not the most exciting post ever, but like the title says, we're taking care of business. Meaning, we are ensuring that our floors are protected, and Clean before we start loading them up with furniture!

    So in case you were wondering here's what we are using to care for our new Hardwood Floors.
    BONA you can find it at BED BATH and BEYOND (I guess it's part of their Beyond section hehe).
    It's what the professionals recommend. I went to two different flooring stores and after faking interest in purchasing new hardwood floors, I was let in on the secret and apparently it's BONA (it was really expensive at the flooring store, but I found it for much cheaper at BB&B).


    We purchased the ultimate Hardwood Care Floor kit!
    It comes with the washable, reusable cleaning, dusting and polishing pads! Much better then throwing out the swiffer pads every time we mop the floor!

    Another reason we chose Bona is because it is a  non-toxic waterborne solution which is super safe for kids and pets!! Seriously if you drank the entire bottle of cleaner the recommendation on the back is to drink a glass of water to dilute it.

    So that's what's been going on here this week, making sure our floors are ready for all the furniture we'll be putting on them :)

    Come back tomorrow for the First FLOWERS on Friday from the new Manor!!

      We have used Bona for years. It truly is the best. However, I have also used Bruce on our Bruce prefinished floors we installed upstairs.

      You might want to try BRUCE hardwood cleaner. We buy ours at Home Depot. (green bottle)

      We have been using it for 5 years. Our floors are also BRUCE hardware floors. Never any build-up. Very little product needed. We just use a flat mop frame with one of our microfiber cloths attached to the velcro.

      Our mop is a Don Aslet mop, but any mop of that type will do.
