About this deal
Their upkeep often requires regular maintenance, but like all floors, they’re prone to wear and tear and require a little buff and shine every now and then.
If you have enough hard flooring at home, then these are a savvy buy for regular cleaning, especially if you opt for one that vacuums and washes. They'll save you from mopping or spot cleaning, and give great results. Not to mention you shouldn't have to wait long (if at all) for your flooring to be dry, something that definitely can't be said for mops. Ultimately, the best hard floor cleaner for your home comes down to your interiors and your lifestyle.

For more stubborn stains, apply some baking soda to a damp cloth and rub it over the scuff or stain until it disappears. Harsh chemicals and even fragrances have the power to wear down the finish of your wood floor's natural shine and value. If it's also a wet cleaner, then testers analyse how well it lifts a variety of set-in and fresh stains, including wine, tea and mud. They assess whether it dries as it goes, too. Finally, if it cleans carpets, then they also test this feature, again using common household stains.Note the potential risks when it comes to slips and trips and make sure you let your floors dry and harden before walking on them.
