Default Maintaining VCT Tile

I just had a new VCT tile floor laid (professionally) today; the
superintendent is applying a sealer tomorrow.

I asked the installer what maintenance I would have to do on the new floor
and he said I should wax it regularly but when I asked him what type of wax
to use and how often to apply it, he shrugged and said he didn't know; he
only installed floors but didn't get involved with the maintenance side of
things. I found this a bit suprising - he said he'd learned floor installing
from his dad, who had 33 years in the business - but thought I'd ask here
for any advice on the proper way of maintaining this floor.

I should mention that I am renting so I really don't want to spend a lot of
time or money on maintaining this floor but I'd be willing to do a bit if it
makes a dramatic difference in the life of the floor.
