| We have real wood floors (not laminate) with a polyurethane finish. My installer suggests that we clean the floors with a mixture of about 1/4 windex and water with a barely damp mop. So that works well on the floors themselves.
But- our floors have a v-shaved groove in between the planks. We have dogs, cats, and kids, and between them and the garden, we have collected quite a bit of dust/dirt build up in the grooves. I'm sure we have not vacuumed as well as we should have- I know that will stop it in the future- but the vacuum doesn't get all that build up out. Any ideas? |

| A strong vac is yourbest bet, the first couple of times you may have to use the wand tool on each and every groove. |

| I very seldom clean my hardwood floors, but I vacuum them frequently using the floor brush attachment. If the grooves are filled with dirt, they are going to stay that way. |
