Stain removing technique from hard floor

Respond quickly when something stains your floor. Remove the spot as soon as possible, if your flooring becomes stained, first attempt to clean it with soap and water on a soft cloth or a nylon nonabrasive pad. Never use abrasive applicators. For more stubborn stains, work up to liquid floor cleaner, rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol, diluted chlorine bleach, or mineral spirits, mild detergent solution (1/4th teaspoon mild liquid detergent to a cup of lukewarm water), Vinegar solution (1 cup white vinegar to 2 cups water), and Ammonia solution i.e. Laboratory reagent (2 tablespoons ammonia to 1 cup water).
