SURFACE FINISHES*
(Water-based urethane, oil-modified polyurethane, conversion varnish and moisture-cured urethane)

As with any wood floor, follow a program of cleaning, sweeping and vacuuming to
eliminate as much dirt and grit as possible, and remember that moisture should not
come in contact with the floor.  If it does, it should be wiped up immediately.
Always use manufactures' recommended cleaning products, which won't leave a
contaminating residue on the floor.  If the manufacturer is not known, use a generic
hardwood floor cleaner available.  
Most warranties from finish manufacturers and factory-finished wood flooring
manufacturers are voided by use of oil soap cleaners.  
Wipe up spills immediately with a lightly dampened cloth, then follow up with a
recommended cleaning product.
For stubborn stains, lightly dampen a soft cloth with a manufacturer's recommended
cleaner or a generic hardwood floor cleaner.  Apply directly to the stain and repeat as
necessary.
NEVER use a wax finish on top of a surface finish.
When the floor loses its luster, there are options available to revive the floor's
appearance.  A topcoat dress may be used or the floor may need to be screened/padded
and recoated.
