Default solution to clean polyurethaned wood floors

Hi. Last year we had our hardwood floors refinished. The person who did
the floor recommended cleaning them, when necessary to remove a spot or
whatever with a solution of half windex/half water. I have also heard of
half vinegar/half water. Anyone else have any cleaners they recommend. I
realize when cleaning not to saturate the mop or floor. Thanks for your
help.

As long as it's still sealed well, just about anything will work.
But I'd still be careful with any water on a wood floor.

Once upon a time, hardwood was just cleaned with varsol or mineral spirits,
and an old rag by hand.
I still do it that way.

I use a spray bottle filled with windex and water, and a hardwood floor
"mop" (flat head covered with removable cotton towelling). That keeps the
floors clean and undamaged.
