We recently moved into a new house with very dark hardwood floors on the whole first floor. I regularly swiffer for the dustbunnies, but what do you all use to clean your hardwoods? A mop? Wet swiffer? One of those Shark steam mops?
Thanks!!

i use a regular wet swiffer during the week if necessary and once a week use the BONA products for a seal and a shine.

Bona floor cleaner. I love it!
I vacuum it with our Electrolux Ergorapido. I love that too.

Microfiber mop with water + vinegar + tiny bit of dish soap. Works great, no residue and dirt cheap!

We vacuum daily due to the big hairy dog. I have a microfiber mop that I damp mop with using Shaw hardwood floor cleaner.
I was specifically told not to use vinegar on my hardwood. They said it was bad for the finish.

We have bamboo laminate.
When I do a deep-clean, it's Swiffer, vacuum & mop with Murphy's Oil Soap (from the bottle not the spray - the spray will make the floor greasy & slick; the bottle works differently.)
I've also used Method's "Wood for Good" floor formula with a microfiber pad or a steam mop (we have one that's Shark brand) with distilled water with decent results.

I use Method Cleaner with a microfiber pad and my cleaning lady uses water and Dawn with a towel tied around a squeegee thing.
ETA: not Dawn, Downy Fabric Softener.

I use vinegar and water and do by hand (elbow grease as we have pitch from doug firs that our little cocker tracks in on her paws!). I was told that was the way to clean my floors by both the company and installers.
Our floors are prefinished solid oak HWs.... not sure if that makes a difference.

We buy Babyganics Floors to Adore and our housekeeper really loves it. We use just half the recommended amount per gallon of water.
