Important: Your Floor May be Waxed. If so wet cleaning will damage the surface. Test Your Floor First As Described Below

What you want to do is find an inconspicuous area of your floor to test, usually a in a corner of a room. Apply 2 drops of water directly to the floor. If white spots appear under your drops within ten minutes your floor has a wax finish. If the white spots do not appear you probably have a surface finish floor, to be sure take a coin and scratch the surface of the wood. If it does not scratch then you can be sure that your flooring has a surface finish.

In order to preserve the beauty of your hardwood floor, it is important to maintain it properly. To do so, you should be familiar with the type of hardwood floor you have, whether it is finished or unfinished, and what your manufacturer’s recommendations are regarding cleaning and maintenance.

Special Note: Water is a hardwood floors worst enemy. NEVER use a wet mop or large amounts of water to clean your hardwood floor.
