The best way to clean hardwood floors is to do it exactly the way the manufacturer or installer tells you is the best. The hardwoods floors that exist today come with different specifications depending on what you can afford and what you desire for your floor to look like and how much you are able to afford.
Although the properties very ever so slightly, the most important thing is that they may stain or wear over time, and then you would have to either have them replaced or refinish. However, you may refinish your hardwood floors from time to time to prolong their useful lifespan, but nothing works quite as well as cleaning the floor to maintain it does.
Solid hardwood floors don’t wear well because they have the tendency to face check or be susceptible to moisture and temperature. You see, they expand and contract in response to humidity and temperature, and as such they may wear faster than they should.
As such, the best finish for hardwood floors is the type of finishing used while manufacturing engineered hardwood floors. Instead of having a single piece of hardwood that is weak along the grain, the manufacturer can use several layers of hardwood veneer to create a product that is both thick and resistant to wear and tear.
This will cause the flooring to last and last and last, and may deliver you from the worst of unscheduled maintenance or wasted money in replacing the floor.
The finishing notwithstanding, you still have to maintain the floor the best you can by cleaning up messes as soon as they are made without allowing them to linger. You most certainly should sweep the floor daily, and if you observe any form of grit incidence or accumulation during the course of that day, you should sweep again.
