How can you make wooden floors shine on the cheap?

July 31/11 - Hi, I have been using vinegar all my life on tiles and especially wooden floors. Get about 1/3 bucket of hot water and put about 1/4 cup of white vinegar. Take a clean mop or rag (if you wash on your knees), and mop that floor. It will shine like a mirror. I have parquet floors and I constantly get compliments. This method also works on tiles, counters, mirrors, glass, anything that needs cleaning, even wooden furniture but make sure to use a clean dry cloth to wipe of all remnants of vinegar and water on the furniture. PS: If you have a piece of clothing that you don't know if the color will run in your wash, put pure vinegar in a bucket and soak that piece completely. Rinse well with clean water and voila, no more bleeding! All the best, El.
