Listening to those stupid blogs and posts about how to get scratches out of their wood floor or restore their shine. Mayonnaise, vinegar and baking soda, Murphy's soap and other crazy concoctions.

Liquid shine like Orange Glo. It’s liquid wax.

Steam mops.

Good old Quick Shine or Mop N Glo.🤣

Steam mops and Sharpies.

Murphy's oil soap, Rejuvenater from Home Depot or just plain old stupidity with a big ol’ mop and pail.
Donald C. Bouchard
Not asking a professional how to maintain their floors.

Not maintaining nothing is the word here. Think about that for one second.

Not listening to the contractor's maintenance recommendations.

Using a Rejuvenator cleaner.

Not doing it often enough and using products not recommended by wood flooring pros.

I had a client use uncut bleach before.

“Home Depot said it was safe.” Orange Clean. Fabuloso and a mop.
