What kind of soap can we use on it? We ran out of the special minwax or murphy's stuff and we want to wash it right now. (we are having company over shortly and don't want to run to the store)

Any suggestions to use what we might already have? (borax, dish soap, pinesol???)

Thanks!

Not borax! But a drop or two of something like pinesol should be okay. More important than the soap is not to use very much water, but I'm sure that you know that. Enjoy your company!

for future reference, you can also use a mix of lots of water and a little bit of white vinegar ( I think it's supposed to be 5% vinegar) for hardwood floors that are stained and sealed once down. floors that are prestained/sealed before being installed generally have special instructions, but that vinegar solution does wonders and cleans everything from floors to windows and mirrors. . .
