   I have been in the house-keeping, maid-service industry for 4 years. Kind of depends on the wood you chose. Have they got a laminate-coating, or are they bare? If laminate, DO NOT USE murphy’s oil soap, (it will dull the shine) do not get the floors overly wet when you do mop (it will leave water spots and streaks), and if you are really into keeping them looking great, get a towel wet and HOT, use murphy’s squirt and mop, or even a teeny bit of dishwashing liquid (rinse well) squeeze the towel well, get on hands and knees, and wash them by hand. Now, if they are bare, I would recommend the murphy’s oil soap, that will penetrate the wood and keep them from drying out, but only mop when absolutely neccessary, with a very well squeezed mop. (Or by hand, like before.)
