I have hardwood floors in my house also. Mine are so old, I think the wood came over on the ark! When my children & I moved here in 1988, there was the "famous" sculptured shag carpet! I can't do carpets, because I react badly to them. We took out all the shag, and the carpet in the bedroom. The hardwood floors underneath, were nice but were not sealed anymore. I have never had enough money yet to get that done. However, I can't use many cleaners either, so I just use water, white vinegar, and a little Murphy's Oil soap. They still look pretty nice, but of course have no shine. We have 6 Yorkies, and no scratches from them at all on the floors. The main problem I have is my male marking territory on most things. Now, my FEMALES, do the same thing!!! I had never had a female do that before, now I have 2 that do it!
