how do you take capable care of hardwood floors? can you mop them?
don't be sure if this is new flooring or old. But depending on what you want to do with them, generally all you need to do is dustmop them, with either a dry mop, or one sprayed with something like Endust, so you don't upstanding push the little dust bunnies around somewhere else. There would be no harm and wet mopping the floor, with merely a moistened mop, but might remove any outside wax finish. But if you're going to re-wax the floors, no big deal. Mop away

Yes but first I would uncontaminated thoroughly the hardwood floor with detergent and warm water to remove dirt and stains. Then let it thoroughly let it dry for a day. Then apply polyurethane to take care of the surface. It is very durable and water proof. I would use a satin finish so it won't be too slippery. Once you protect it with polyurethane, you can regularly mop to straight the floor but if you see signs of polyurethane start to wear off, I'd repeat the process.

yes you can mop hardwood floors. very recently use common sense. dont use a mop with any metal or abrasive points, also a cloth mop is best. one other thing, dont use whiten or even washing up liquid as they will both affect your floor [obviously bleach is worse it will just rot the wax or varnish then eat the wood] go t your close by wood floor shop and get apropriate cleaner. some you just mop on and leave to dry, others you let dry then buff up [ youll soon get fed up of that]

After vacuuming I always mop with hot dampen but it leaves water spots. What's a better way?
You can use Minwax Hardwood Floor Cleaner - it doesn't furlough residue on your floors. I work in a Home Improvement Warehouse and this is our #1 seller for the floors (I ownership it in my department and am constantly ordering it for the flooring department) - plus I personally have used it on laminate floors that we have laid in the pile up. Here is the website if you want to see what the product looks like and read more about it.
