    Don't use beater bars on your vacuum. I use a canister vacuum so I can keep floors dust free ...»
    and to get into the nooks and crannies. Always wipe up spills. Buy a micro fiber mop. I get it damp. I love these mops! A cheap one will do you don't need expensive. Get it lightly damp. And a spray bottle of warm water and lightly mist your floor. Mop and dry. Work in sections. Drying is key to protecting your floors!

    If it is really really dirty then take the same micro fiber mop and immerse it in warm water. Squeeze all the water out and then squeeze again. Mop and dry. Work in small sections you don't want water to stay on the floor. I also use Bona. My micro fiber mop is misted with water so lightly you can barely feel it then I use Bona. Unless your floor is sealed with a wax this works on all wood flooring. No alkaline cleaners! Vinegar No! Wood Soap No! Ammonia No! I could go on but you see the pattern.

    KMS has given the best link to cleaning any wood flooring. I use this as a guideline. If in doubt always go to the manufactor. Newer installed flooring is guaranteed only if you follow their guidelines and purchase their products. I have seen it damaged and the manufactors won't cover it because you didn't purchase their products. Just a hint for anyone with new flooring.
