| Just for dust-bunny collection and dust removal. A dust mop. Microfiber, swiffer-style or just plain acrylic ... doesn't matter. The trick is to use it every couple of days. |

| Swiffer-Vac! That thing is AMAZING!!! If you've just got dust & hair, the regular Swiffer works great. Anything larger than dust and I recommend going with the Swiffer-Vac as it will pick up even more with the vac part and dust mop all at the same time. |

| I use BOMA floor cleaner. I never use water or vinegar. Vinegar is an acid which can damage poly. Water if used in excess can blacken joints between boards. Our floors were done almost 7 years ago and look great. |

| Hardwood�floors�are one of the easiest flooring types to keep�clean. The quickest and most effective way to�clean�hardwood�floors�is with a damp mop. Before mopping, make sure that you have removed all surface dust from the floor. This can be done with a soft broom or lightweight vacuum cleaner. Then, simply mop, rinse and repeat. It is important to remove grit and dirt from hardwood�floors. Dirt and grit are the biggest enemies when it comes to scratching or scouring the floor finish. |
