Cleaning an Antique Wood Floor

QUESTION:

You have been a huge help to me before and I am hoping you have a solution for my latest conundrum.

I have a very dirty, antique wood floor which has been waxed in the past. It is a Versailles pattern and was taken from an old castle in France. I want to clean and preserve the floor’s beauty without poisoning us and the house. The floor is in the dining room, to add to the problem.

I thank you in advance for any suggestions for cleaning and preserving this treasured floor.

This store is in Seattle, but does mail order. They are very good to answer questions - many green products.
