What’s a Good Neutral Floor Cleaner for Hard Surfaces?
There are plenty of cleaning solutions out there, but many make use of intense acids or alkaline bases. While that might be necessary in specific instances and for certain hardcore stains, you don’t want to use powerful acids and alkalines all the time. For starters, these compounds can be toxic and may harm both you and the environment over time. Plus, they can damage the very surfaces you’re trying to keep pristine.
Enter pH neutral cleaners. Neutral floor cleaners are gentler and often get the job done better than their more aggressive counterparts. Some of the reasons people use neutral floor cleaners include:
- easy rinse-off without leaving residue behind
- lack of hazardous fumes
- useful on natural surfaces as well as untreated ones
- prevents aggravation of skin conditions
How to Find the Best Neutral Floor Cleaners Around
When you’re looking for a good neutral floor cleaner, whether that’s for a residential job or to meet the needs of your commercial cleaning business, you’ll need to gravitate toward those that are gentle but effective. Bob Vila recommends several considerations when selecting the right pH neutral floor cleaner for your home or business’ floor material.
- All vinyl floors are suitable.
- Use microfiber cloths to spot-clean hardwood floors and laminate floors.
- Stone floors require wet cloths and stone-specific pH-neutral cleaners.
