Parquet Floor Help

[newhomeowner]

Have just moved to a new house and love the floor. Unfortunatly old owner did not look after floor or cleaned it very often - I need to find what is best to use to clean Parquet floor that has been neglected and has year and years of soot and Dust?

If it's bad though I'd be tempted to sand back, seal, and re-varnish for a pristine finish that will last years.

Hi,

Finally found a product that you can use on dirty parket flooring - without resorting to sanding.
We have been able to get hold of HG product - Parket PE waxes and dirt remover - marvelous - it really brought out the beauty of the floor. If after you have done this you notice that your floor does need sanding - then it should be easier as there will be no wax or dirt to clogg up the sand paper!

I have the same problem and am also searching for the answer. What is HG product - Parket PE waxes and dirt remover and where can I get it? I would love to hear whether you find success with anything out there.

Hi,

Found a link to a supply in US/ Canada hope this assists - it really worked and I did not have to create dust etc - I have two daughters that are Asthmatic and this was the ideal solution.

However I would recommend that you use a Floor Scrubber (Industrial ike the ones they use to clean the malls) this will once again ease any strain of scrubbing on your Knees.

Afterwards I used a liquid Wood floor polish that needs no polishing and seals the wood (waterbased with no VOC's)

Good luck
