I love wood floors. I don't love having wood floors with kids though. The upkeep on wood floors (to keep them actually looking nice and feeling clean) is much more than just vacuuming and spot cleaning carpet. 2 of the 4 homes we've lived in since having children had wood floors, including our current one.
But, there is a product--when I have time to use it, that makes my life easier.
First is the Quick Shine Floor Cleaner. All you need is a sponge mop and a semi particle free floor (ie swept or recently vacuumed). You start with the sponge mop rinsed with water. Spray the cleaner on the floor and spread it evenly with the mop. It cleans the floor as you spread it. No need to rinse or re-sponge with water.The Quick Shine Floor Finish is the BEST product. Again--you just start with a rinsed sponge mop, spray on the ground and spread with the mop. It gives the floor a beautiful shine!! You do have to let it dry (so doing it at naptime is a must) but it dries relatively quickly. You can do multiple coats for an even glossier finish.
The process still takes time...and often I only get through one step. But it does make cleaning my floors easier.
I buy the products at Target or Wal-Mart. You can click on the picture above to take you to the website for more info on their products.

Well look at you! You should get free product with such a rave review :) I haven't had wood floors since leaving my parents home . . . for our linoleum I love my steamer! I look forward to more favorites :)
I'm so glad you posted this because I love hearing about good products! We don't have wood floors but we have a big white tile floor in our kitchen and I am in love with our steamer (like Amy). But if we ever move to a house with wood floors then I'll keep this in mind!
