I use Apple Cider Vinegar and water. Mix the two using a ratio of 1 part Apple Cider Vinegar to 3 parts water. Mop and scrub with this mixture.
Apple Cider Vinegar contains tannins, which condition the wood.
Once in a while I also add a teaspoon or two of Lemon Oil to the mixture…but you could use just about any Essential Oil, or even baby oil. If you do add oil, stir the mixture often to keep the oil mixed.
I tried Murphy’s Oil soap, but it left a dull residue, so I switched to this method after hearing about on HGTV.

Bona hardwood floor cleaner is the best. They even make a spray mop that is similar to a wet swiffer. Just google bona hardwood floor mop.
