This isn't exactly about cleaning floors, more about keeping them nice once they ARE clean. I have dark walnut (think chocolate bars . . . ) engineered hardwood floors throughout the house, except for kitchen, baths, entry. They don't get 'dirty' per se, but, honestly, I don't think there is a person on this planet who could keep them dust-free. They get dusty in just a couple of days. Perfect solution? Roomba. He chugs all over, all by his little self. His HEPA filters catch ALL the dust. There is even noticeably less on the furniture. I guess that's because Roomba vacuums it up instead of just flinging it around everywhere the way a regular vacuum does. This is, of course, starting with a floor that's basically clean. If someone comes through and leaves a footprint, a damp cloth takes it right up. The tile is dealt with by Braava, Roomba's sister. As for the OP's question, I vote for taking up as much of the Murphy's as possible with warm water. Rinse, rinse again, then follow with the Glass Plus. Skate around on towels to wipe up the leavings.

I have to go to work...will try to work on this from there...or when I get home. Nancy

Nothing like the smell of good old tea tree oil. LOL. You should smell my poison ivy soap- it is made with pine tar. Now, that is something that stinks! It seems like it takes days to get the smell out of the house, and there is no fragrance that will even touch covering that smell! Susan

Diane, Barbra is my best mauve rose in fragrance, productivity, health, and beauty. People in dry climates should grow her more often. My Memorial Day is currently covered with more than 50 buds on long strong stems. Will take another picture when they open. It is so much more vigorous this year than last year. Looks like this rose took a little time to really settle in and then it just went crazy with growth and flowers. I think I might have kept it too dry last year as well which stunted her growth. As the plant got bigger I also cleared all the sea lavender plants that were crowding it in the same bed. The reduced root competition would have helped too. Anyway the plant has tripled in size in the last 6 weeks.
