Hi Jeanne. I wouldn't think there's much difference but now that I have laminate flooring I fill my bucket with warm water and some white vinegar. I have a spin-type mop than spins enough to leave the mop damp; it works great. There are alot of cleaners out there however they leave streaks on the floor so upon using the water/vinegar combo I find it cleans (and disinfects) and is cheap to boot!
I use a shark steamer. I was told to only use water on my wood floors when we moved in. I have used Bona to spot treat an area that might have a spill or something sticky on it.
Hardwood floors than have been properly sealed, and maintain a good finish, really only need some warm water to clean especially if its polyurathane. Older floors or floors with a damaged finish may need a product with wax like Bona floor cleaner to help maintain the shine.
Little Liquid Dawn dish soap. Two small pales, plastic. One to use with soapy rag, and a second for rinsing with fresh water. Do this on your hands and knees. Try to stay off the cell phone texting while you do this.

Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...
