    Harsh cleaning chemicals like bleach can dull out your floor and may even strip the protective coating off. I use Murphy's Oil Soap on mine and it works great but I use it sparilngly and ring as much water out as possible so it doesn't get too wet.

    You can also use a little dishwashing liquid in warm water.

    Bleach is a disinfectant. Do you have a need to disinfect?

    Possibly you are thinking of vinegar and not bleach. Bleach should not be used but a small amount of vinegar will help in the mopping. 1/2 cup in a bucket of warm water, rines regularly.

    Do not use a wet mop.
    First vac and broom any sawdust and then a very lightly dampened sponge mop.
