Wondering what the best way is to clean a non-treated tong-groove screened porch floor. Just blowing it off/out helps but doesn't really get the floor clean. Does anyone have a procedure that works without damaging the flooring with water.

A lightly damp mop, rinsed and wrung out frequently.

I vacuum ours regularly during the season so my otherwise white kitty who LOVES the porch doesn't turn yellow.

OP: Perhaps a swiffer sweeper with the ability to spray a bit of cleaner?
I do not know what they are called since I do not use them.

This^ I would dry mop it first. If you have any of those "Static-clingy" mop things, it might help.


Point is, get as much of the pollen up via dry-mop ("dusting") as possible, it will make your damp-mop experience less painful and more efficient.
