Solving the mystery of hardwood floor
careMyth:Your mother's home remedy of vinegar
and water is the best way to clean your floor. Water and vinegar
is both natural and safe. Fact: Vinegar
is an acid and even when diluted with water, can eat away your
finish over time, damaging your floor's natural gloss and shine.
Orange Glo Hardwood Floor Cleaner is pH balanced and allows
your floors natural beauty to shine through.
Myth:All-purpose cleaners
work just as well as specialized cleaners on your hardwood floors. Fact: In the past, these cleaners have
been easier to find at the store than specialty cleaners - which
might explain why two thirds of consumers aren't using a cleaner
specifically formulated for hardwood floors. But all-purpose
cleaners are made for surfaces as varied as tile, laminate and
glass. On your hardwood floors, they leave a residue and haze
on your finish, dulling the natural shine of your floor. The
Orange Glo Hardwood Floor Cleaner is residue free, pH balanced
and available at major retail locations across the country -
finally, a specialized hardwood cleaner available on your regular
shopping trip!
Myth:If I cover my floors in carpet, I
have more of a variety to choose from than if I use wood flooring. Fact: Wood floors have come a long way
in the past few years. Today, there are more styles, colors
and species of wood flooring available than ever before. Whether
you are looking for traditional oak, rustic Pine, exotic wenge
or trendy bamboo, you're sure to find a color and style to fit
your décor.
Myth:Using a mop and bucket to clean your
floor is both convenient and effective. Fact:
The mop and bucket technique pours too much liquid on floors,
causing hardwood to warp and swell. The Orange Glo Hardwood
Floor Care System is specially designed to get your floors clean
without damaging the wood. The kit contains a mop, reusable
and washable pads and the Orange Glo Hardwood Floor Cleaner.
The spray cleaner controls the amount of liquid being applied
to your floors. By lightly misting the cleaner in a 4x6 area,
you can clean your floors a section at a time with the mop.
Myth:Acrylic products both gloss and protect
your hardwood floors. Fact: Acrylic products
leave residue that can cause problems when refinishing floors.
Orange Glo Hardwood Floor Cleaner is a residue free solution,
taking the dirt away and leaving nothing behind. The Orange
Glo Hardwood Floor Refinisher is a polyurethane-based formula,
just like the finish that is likely on your floors now. Together,
they provide a long lasting shine to your hardwood floors.
Myth:Hardwood flooring isn't as cost effective
as carpet or laminate floors. Fact: Carpet
may be cheaper to install, but hardwoods are a far better investment
and last a lifetime. According to a recent nationwide survey
commissioned by the National Wood Flooring Association, residential
real estate agents say homes with wood floors hold their value
better, sell faster and fetch higher prices. By a three-to-one
margin, real estate agents said that a house with wood floors
would sell faster than a carpeted house and 58% said a house
with wood floors would bring a higher price.
