How to Remove Footprints From Wood Floors

Remove loose dirt and debris by sweeping the area of the hardwood floor you wish to clean. Sweep debris into a dust pan and then throw it away.

Mix 1/2 cup of white vinegar with 1 gallon of water in a large container. Dip the cloth in the solution and wring out excess water.

Wipe the floor with the towel to remove the footprints. Make sure the cloth is damp but not wet. Dry the hardwood floor with a soft towel.

Repeat the washing process over all areas with footprints. Remember to dry each area of the hardwood floor with a towel. Hardwood floors can absorb excess water, which can cause the wood to expand and splinter.
