We had hardwood floor in our Ohio home for many years and it is amazingly durable, but it is wood and wood warps so as Jimbo says don't drench it with water. We use the Sharp steam cleaner on ours after using a dustmop and a sweeper.

Hardwood is beautiful but here installed on cement it is...well like cement.

Installed on wood subfloor like in the north it had a little tiny give and was easier on um...say older ...joints.

But some of you live in newer areas and don't have older joints. Just ignore that part. .

Our village is only one year oldish. So it is newer and we are older, but not older than dirt. And some say we are a lotta fun. sigh.
