Not sure where to put this but here goes.
Just got my floor installed about 1 month ago. It was a self install, husband and brother in law. The floor is reclaimed heart pine, engineered and pre finished. Install over concrete with glue, the kind that turns kinda rubbery when dry, sorry i can't rember the name.

Any way what is the best way to keep it clean? I use the swiffer sweeper vac daily with a microfiber cloth to "sweep" the floor. I have tried the swiffer wet jet and DO NOT LIKE it at all. What I am usig now is ZEP with a terry cloth rag on a Sh-Mop. Is this all that I shoud do or am I doing it wrong :?:
Any help and thanks so much for your time.

Use a cleaner specifically for hardwood floors. Like Bona or others sold on this site.

The Zep is for hardwood. I was just wondering if what I was doing, using was ok.

Just because the product is labeled for use on hardwood floors does not mean it is not leaving behind residues that are harmful to the recoating process. I would only use a cleaner from a company that manufactures finish as well, like Bona.
