Chat Icon I was just about to ask the same question. We have a Hoover Windtunnel and it just doesn't seem to be working well on the hardwood floors.

I use Bona X on my hardwood floors. It's what the manufacturer recommended. You just spray it on the floor, then wipe it up with a microfiber mop. I got it from here.

You reallly need to be careful. Water and dust are the enemies of hardwood. The company who came to refinish and install hardwood in the rest of the house said... vacuum thoroughly, swiffer every couple of days and wash every two weeks warm water with a bit of vinegar sprayed on a microfiber mop.
Absolutely no chemicals and make sure the floor is dried. Never leave standing water on hardwood.

Pergo is a different story, you can use some cleaners on it.
