Is your hardwood floor sealed or unsealed?
Once you can answer this question you can decide on what to use for cleaning hardwood floors.
Usually hardwood floors are protected with many layers of a protective finish or polyurethane.
The protective shield could be a high gloss or what is called a satin finish or a matte finish. In either case the hardwood floors should be vacuumed on a regular basis.
Some people find using a swifter cloth is very effective at picking up dust. Plus it is easier to clean under low furniture with a swifter type cloth than a vacuum.
When it comes to using a liquid solution to clean the sealed or unsealed wood flooring, you might use either a recommended hardwood cleaner from the company where the floor was purchased or just a damp mop with warm water and then towel dry.
Never leave water sitting on a wood floor as it can eat through the sealant and warp the wood.
A sealed wood floor would hold up better than an unsealed wood floor when any liquid solution is applied when cleaning.
