Using diluted cleaning solution, dip then wring mop until mop head is damp and mop cleaning solution onto floor. Allow cleaning solution to dwell for 5 minutes before wiping down with clean rinse water. Use a hand-held pad or a machine if needed to clean heavily soiled areas. Dry any excess wood cleaner with a cloth or mop as you go. For heavy soiling, repeat wash as needed. Rinse mop head very well after each time you mop the floor. Work in small sections of floor and continue until entire floor has been cleaned. Change cleaning solution and rinse water as needed when it gets dirty or if there is not enough solution to fully immerse mop head. This is especially important when cleaning dark wood species. As with any floor treatment, test prepared solution on a out of the way spot of floor area to ensure compatibility and that desired results can be achieved. Let the floor surface dry completely before applying oil, maintenance gel or wood soap.

For the dark wood species, repeat the wood cleaning prep process a second time to ensure that the floating color pigments are cleaned from the wood.
