Anything good that is non-toxic you'd all recommend?

Searched, but didn't find too much in terms of suggestions

I use Bona floor cleaner and a microfiber mop. Swiffers just don't stand up to all the fuzz. I also sweep constantly.

We sweep a lot and I mean a lot. We also just use windex on the floors (my husband works at a cabinetry building company and they use windex on all of their finishes because it's not as harsh as other cleaners). I attach a microfiber towel to a swifer mop and just spray as I go. The pup goes outside while I mop so he doesn't accidentally lick it.

I have a stick vacuum for daily clean up. Floors are washed with vinegar and warm water and then I swifter them after the floor is dry.

Oh, I don't think you are supposed to clean hardwood floors. Pretty sure. Actually, I don't think you are supposed to clean ANY floors. Why would anyone do anything so pointless as to clean a floor? LOL!

I am planning on switching from carpet to hardwood as soon as the IRS Money comes in. Is hardwood better that carpet for clean up after doggie? Common sense tells me yes, but I have no experience. I use warm soap water on my tile floors (dish soap).
