| What procedure & product can I use to clean very dirty
hardwood floors? We purchased an older house with wood floors that have not been cleaned in several years. The finish still appears in tact but there is lots of caked on dirt. Thanks for your input. |

| Start with a sponge or towel dampened with soapy water. Scrub off, wipe dry with a clean towel. It's hands and knees work, but you should only have to do it once. Then wax it well with a good paste wax and buff the heck out of it. |
