<bot>: The most efficient way to clean a hardwood floor is to vacuum first to pick up any loose debris and dust. Then, use a damp mop with a mild cleaner specifically formulated for hardwood floors. Use a gentle, circular motion while mopping to ensure that dirt and grime are removed without damaging the finish of the floor. Finally, dry the floor with a clean, dry cloth to prevent watermarks.
