1. If you have sealed cork floors, clean them with an ordinary soap and water. You have to purchase some suitable chemical cleaner, which is not acidic, otherwise you can damage the sealant. Apply the cleaner all over the floor using a damp mop. Use small amount of water, it does not matter whether the floor is sealed or not. Dry with a cloth and leave the floors to dry.
2. On the other hand, if you have unsealed cork floors then prepare yourself to work harder. Unfortunately, these types of floors are more sensitive to moisture and chemical cleaning, because cork is a porous material.

If you want to get rid of stains, appearing on the cork surface, use a dampened cloth with water to remove them.
