1920's flooring - Cleaning & Care

12 years ago

I believe this is original Oak flooring in this 1929 house. It needed a good cleaning before we started construction projects in the house. I don't think it NEEDS to be refinished at this point but what's the best way to give it a really good cleaning? I don't want to damage it.
