Homemade Hardwood Floor Polish
(found on google.com)


If you have dark hardwood floors like me, then you will know that they can get disgustingly dirty. They show every spec of dust, dirt, where you walk, food splatters and pet hair. When we bought this house it was a dream to have dark hardwood floors. Little did I know how high maintenance they are. To the point that it can be frustrating. You mop and 30 minutes later they are dirty again.

For cleaning you HAVE to have a vaccuum that has a "no crumb kick back." This was super important to me because even though I would vaccuum there still would be junk all over the hardwood and you can feel it with your feet. My mother in law was sweet enough to hand me down her Oreck XL and it works like a charm compared to everything I've ever had in the past.

For general mopping I use
 This stuff is all natural and does add a little natural shine back into it.

For my mop, I've been super picky. Some microfiber mops pads were really hard to push on the hardwood for some reason resulting in a full on workout and me dreading mopping.
I was using my SHARK without turning it on but I came across this baby...

Microfiber Performer®

  • Damp/Dry All-Surface Mop
  • UPC 0-41785-00007-6
Ideal for hardwood floor cleaning, this mop really performs! And with features like microfiber technology, you can get an effective and easy cleaning experience damp or dry!

LOVE it. It slides easily over the floor plus has little scrubby strips that are gentle.

HOMEMADE HARDWOOD FLOOR POLISH
*Equal parts Olive Oil or Vegetable Oil with white vinegar in a spray bottle.
(Olive oil came out richer and more shine than veggie oil)
*A little bit of lemon juice for a fresh scent.

--Spray on floor a small area at a time and then mop up going with the grain of the wood
--After you have finished the whole floor go back over with a towel to rub in more and take the slickness away.
I did this while walking and scooting on the towel so that my foot prints weren't all over the floor.

And thats it! My floors were a lot shinier than they were!

It is important to have a single point of contact for your project to ensure nothing gets lost in translation. A Project Manager should be assigned to all web projects. If you are working with a small web company, however, the Project Manager may also be the web designer and/or web developer himself. Lead generation

The biggest mistake I see their budget, the company's transformation, is that they think this is a line 'run and do' things. Marketers and their bosses think they can create a landing page or start a PPC campaign, and then forget about it for a month. And this cycle works in print or television, it will not work online. Line is highly, highly repetitive, and requires constant attention. So you save a lot of advertising money into the labor force. SEO Limburg

How is someone with no portfolio supposed to stand out? You don't, free lance job boards are so overcrowded that there is almost always somebody out there with work to show for who will do the job for very cheap leaving you out of luck. www.sempris.be/webdesign
