Tetanus is a serious infection which can even be fatal. Tetanus germs (bacteria) live in the soil and dirt. The bacteria may get into your body through a cut or a wound in the skin. The bacteria make a poison (toxin) which causes the illness. Even small wounds such as a prick from a thorn can allow enough bacteria to get into the body to cause tetanus. The illness usually takes 7-8 days to develop but can vary from one day to two months. Therefore, you may have forgotten about a small cut before the illness starts.
However, if you can handle drying a basement on your own, heed the following suggestions: Pump out standing water. Use a wet/dry vacuum or submersible pump, rentable at Home Depot and other home improvement centers. At Home Depot, wet/dry vacs rent for $19 for four hours or $27 for 24 hours. A regular household vacuum won't do the trick, and using it might prove dangerous.
The trick with Bona is to dampen your microfiber pad first (damp not wet....wet = bad for hardwood) then use the Bona with the damp mop. You will need to rinse the pad out, (or use multiple heads) to clean the floors.Its a little bit time consuming to do it this way...however it wont leave that film behind. have a Ladybug steamer, but for the wood floors, I use the steamer just enough to get the cloth moist. Too much steam would damage the wood. I don't use vinegar. I used to add a bit of vinegar when I was wiping with a mop, but someone who is installing wood floors said that it's not a good idea.
