- Question: How to clean unfinished plywood floor.
How to clean unfinished plywood floor. I want to mop and freshen the bare plywood floor in our unfinished attic. I've already swept and vacuumed it. The floor is not filthy, but there was rodent activity. I'd like to use a solution that sanitizes, if possible. But my priority is not to damage the wood. There is an oily patch left by the former owners. Smells like they spilled a bottle of lotion. I'm inclined to just mop over that patch and not try to remove the spot. We use the attic for our home gym -- it's not a place where we bring company. My bottles of Murphy's Oil Soap and Simple Green say "do not use on unfinished wood". Any recommendations for a cleaning solution? - 20 months ago

Nothing "wet" is going to work. Unfinished plywood is not really cleanable this way. If you're looking to get it pretty clean, you can sand it down somewhat and then vacuum and get the dust of that out pretty good. After that you can try to finish it in some way, but it's probably not worth it. - 20 months ago

Really sweeping is about all you do. I wouldn't use water or anything wet on any untreated wood, even plywood, I wanted to keep around. It's just asking for mold, mildew and warping/cupping. I would probably just throw down some cheap carpet or more likely linoleum. - 20 months ago

It is mostly used for subflooring over here with other materials laid over it like carpeting, etc. Much of it is sold to cover windows, etc. if a hurricane threatens this area. The process you described from tree to final product is amazing.
