Ellen Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Can someone tell me what I can and cant use on my wood floors ? I Have kids and dogs and now a parrot and it needs to be cleaned pretty badly. I dont want to strip the shine either. Has anyone ever used one of those new push thingys with the steam ? Thanks again guys Ellen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 We have a Shark vac & steam and it works good on our floors. Our floors are not the new type of prefinish as we have a log cabin with 1 in thick plank flooring that is stain and sealed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpittman Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I also use the Shark steam n vac on my hardwod - 3/4" white oak stained and sealed. Works great and bought it specifically because I have parrots. I also use vinegar water to spray while doing the quick wipe of of "poo" Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusCAG Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I don't know if this would be applicable for wooden floors too (like a dilute solution for mopping), but around the house on wooden furniture I use a bird-safe mixture of water, about a cup of white vinegar, a spoonful of olive oil, and couple of drops of lemon essential oil (the real deal, I get it at Whole Foods) shaken in a squirt bottle and spray it on a rag for dusting. I found the recipe at another parrot board somewhere and just kind of mix things up as I go now, I don't measure the liquids out exactly anymore. Works great!
