Since we're on the topic of hard wood floors - I just had HW floors installed in my condo. What do you use to clean them/for maintenance? I don't like that shiny/glossy look.
Is there a special sealant I should buy?

I have a Hoover Floormate and it works pretty well. Although I rarely wash the floor since it always look so clean other than some dust bunnies at the corner which I do Shop-Vac them every once awhile. Harwood floor in the modern days are very easy to take care of IMO.

What type of hardwood floor did you have put down? I put down a prefinished Kahrs engineered hardwood floor a couple of years back and it is holding up very well. I use BonaX hardwood floor cleaner from Bonkemi. I use a microfiber mop (ok my wife uses it) to clean the floors. The stuff is non toxic (good if you have pets).

Depends entirely on the finish that is on the wood. Some poly finishes don't require or need waxing and buffing. If it is an older floor finish, there are semi-gloss waxes out there....

We have solid maple floors and we recently had them sanded and refinished and the people who did it reccomended only using a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 6 parts warm water. Works well.
