[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 759409, member: 18958"] Dear Nomad Engineered wood is different than "Wood" I believe. I have a rental house with engineered wood floors. I was told I could safely use Swiffer wet mop pads on the floors. I read I was to not use water. I was stumped because if you use Swiffer wet mop pads they are full of liquid. Dripping with it. (I use them in my own house where I have a white concrete floor.) However, M uses a very dry mop--not wet, just barely damp on the engineered wood floor. And that is what he has advised the tenants to use, and it works well. I am grateful I have not mopped this floor because I would be anxious with the Swiffer, even though it is recommended. On the floor i have the shine is supposed to be permanent. In the interests of durability (and against recommendations we did in the back house put a polyurethane topcoat. We were told not to do so. Unfortunately, if anything with alcohol gets on those floors, it becomes dull and cloudy. So I am interested that Windex helped. Did you use it straight or diluted? Yes. I have heard of a soap residue. [/QUOTE]
