How to clean painted wood flooring?

How to clean painted wood flooring?


I just recently painted my living room floor a dark chocolate brown. It's been long enough I think for the paint to set. What should I use to clean the flooring?How to clean painted wood flooring?
Clean them thoroughly with warm water and TSP. I use a regular household mop, warm water and TSP. Clean again with plain water and let dry.


When your floors are clean and dry, make sure there are no paint chips or peeling that needs repair.


Depending on the environment I will use a water based sealer indoors and an oil based sealer for outdoors.How to clean painted wood flooring?
I would use the kind of vacuum that has soft bristles under the wand thing, or sweep it with a soft broom. Then when it needs a moppin';, I'd just use a string mop or if it's not too big, even just a damp rag with a mild cleaner (like a dish liquid, maybe) .
