The NWFA (national hardwood flooring association) of which I am a member suggests dry moping only. I understand ONCE IN A BLUE MOON you must use something with a little more oomph. A rule of thumb if you can buy it at a grocery store DO NOT USE IT. Trust me it will over time ruin your floor. There are only 2 products I will ever suggest. One being a product by the name of Bona the other is Arboritec. Both can be a pain in the ass to find but I know for fact Windsor Plywood carries Bona products. Do not ever spray your floor directly with any product only spray a clean microfibre mop once or twice then mop your floor.
Trust me I have had to sell people entire new floors because they thought they were being good and cleaning their floor everyday with a wet mop. Well basically what happens is the moisture penetrates the wood over time causing it to crown, cup and or crack. Not a great thing when ya just forked over 8k for that shiny new Jatoba floor plus maybe another 4k for install. Id personally rather buy the $5 bottle of proper cleaner than have to spend another 12k getting a new floor installed.
