[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dr. Bronner's Soap 1 Tbsp into a gallon of warm water. Microfiber mop. I use a very simple apparatus, see below,  that wets and  squeezes the water. I empty  and refresh water between rooms. Then, I hand steam, see below, about every other week  or  if it's a very dirty floor.  After,  sometimes, I use Bona on a microfiber pad to polish.  They have a cleaner and a polish.  Use polish. 
Believe it or not, the whole process takes maybe 15 minutes. Seriously.

Tip- that cheap steamer is a powerhouse for lots of things. Love it.

The steam mop is totally unnecessary and can damage your floor. Just use a regular mop. [/quote]

No,  it really cleans and has been quite safe for this floor. Used it for years. Mops only get  surface dirt. And you're using dirty water.

The steamer has a bazillion uses. I use it for everything.  [/quote]

It’s all “surface” dirt. The floor is a surface. The steam is just hot water. [/quote]

Really hot water. It tends to dissolve just about anything. I can't believe steam would have any impact on modern aluminum oxide floor finishes. Polyurethane, maybe. [/quote]
