Rather than a solid hardwood core, engineered hardwood flooring planks have a laminated core, like plywood. On the surface, however, engineered flooring have exactly the very same characteristics as solid wood floors, and you wash them the same way. The best mop is constructed of microfiber; it increases dirt without retaining excessive water.
Mops to Avoid
Water is the enemy of the solid and engineered hardwood flooring alike. If permitted to stick to the surface, then it can make stains and seep between boards, causing the planks to swell as well as the edges to curl. Therefore, cotton string mops should be avoided, because they tend to spread large amounts of water, even once you wring them out thoroughly. Sponge mops also ought to be fairly wet to perform an effective job, and if you press it, it also actively pushes water through floorboard gaps.
The Microfiber Advantage
Microfibers are synthetic filaments that have the cleaning power of pure fibers with no water retention. A set microfiber mop is one of the most useful tools for cleaning solid or engineered hardwood because it has just enough abrasive action to loosen dirt without damaging the flooring finish. You can also opt for a microfiber string mopthat cleans large areas quickly with just a little bit of water.
