Vinegar is perfect for disinfecting, degreasing and protecting parquet floors. Pour half a glass of vinegar into a bucket full of water and remember to wring the cloth or mop well before cleaning the floor with it. This way you will avoid excess moisture in the parquet and will leave it brighter.
If the parquet is oiled, the ideal is to use a low pH detergent, with water at room temperature, and clean with a well-wrung cloth. This type of floor should be left to dry naturally, perhaps keeping balconies and windows open.
Olive oil and tea tree oil can also be of great help. Applied with a clean cloth they will allow us to return the wood to its original appearance.
Paper and talcum powder to remove stains . Grease, oil or ink stains on parquet floors can be very difficult to remove. You can use paper towels or soak the stain in talcum powder. If you decide to go with the latter option, let the talcum powder sit on the stain for at least 24 hours before vacuuming and removing the residue.
Solid wax or polishing oil . Natural wood floors should be waxed at least once a month. The ideal solution is to pour solid wax or, alternatively, an oil onto a cotton cloth and wipe it over the floor.
