You absolutely saved my floors with your tips. The handyman didn't put a drop cloth down and my floors were a mess. I got a shoe polishing brush and some cleaning fluid and scrubbed, and it worked when nothing else would! Thanks 1000x

I use a brush to scrub and terry cloth to wipe up. You could use microfiber to wipe up as well. The key with whatever you use is to make sure you don’t let the cloth get loaded with dust/dirt. Keep switching to clean sides of the cloth and then new cloths as the one you’re using gets loaded. - Daniel
"Yes. The floor in this video is actually an engineered wood floor. The key with any type of wood floor is to make sure the machine is vacuuming almost all of the liquid back up off of the floor so that you don’t have standing liquid or puddles on the floor or within in gaps." - Daniel
The problem is the drywall joint compound which has the ability to adhere to the surface and in the grain once it's mopped. I have developed a system to actually remove it. It removes nearly all the joint compound. I would not suggest staining and re-coating it.
That makes sense as joint compound is ‘activated’ by water. We’d love to learn new methods. What is your method to remove it with using moisture? - Daniel

For the Hand Scrubbing procedure, will microfibre work or is it best to use terry cloth?
