My floor installer told me to pour 1/4 cup winder (ammonia free) in a gallon water and mop.

I have a lot of pets in my house. The only entrance / exit to the backyard is through my kitchen with hardwood floors. I damp mop and dry my floor every night before bed.

  Thanks, I have the same situation. No one comes in through my front door so back door is the main entry.

  So welcome Marianne! I live alone and there is the front door, the door that leads to the garage and the sliding glass door in the kitchen, that's it. I use all of them every day, but the pets use their door to go in and out at their leisure and one can see all the footprints in the morning when the grass is dewey. Right smack dab across the kitchen floor is their trail to the rest of the house . . . I tried laying runners down, didn't help that much.

Most importantly, use only a damp mop and dry thoroughly.
