How can I keep my parquet floor clean?

Continuing my theme of yesterday, I have an oak parquet floor in my lounge and hallway.When we lifted the carpet (we were going to put new carpets down) I found this beautiful floor . My wife wanted to continue with the original plan but I pursuaded her not t o as long as I maintained the floor!

As the carpet had been down for a number of years, I first swept the floor. The floor then needed a thorough clean . I had to get down on my hands and knees and scrub the floor using scotchbrite soaked in Heritage Woodcare. This did a brilliant job, removing the bitumin (that had been used to stick the floor down), from between the bricks, paint spots etc. Now I just have to mop the floor using a mop that has been soaked in Heritage Woodcare. This cleans and polishes the floor at the same time.

Heritage Woodcare can be obtained online, visit www.heritagepolish.com/wood.html

My postal address will change w.e.f. August 1st to:-
