I have the finish, mostly use it in areas that are more prone to wear. Kitchen entry, hall, music room basically.
I have high gloss finish anyway, when I bought my place, I had my two pups who could do a number on floors, so it's actually something like 10 coats of finish.

I purchased the Shark steam cleaner to do Nature Stone floors and also to use it on my Armstrong kitchen floor. The kitchen floor looked great until I got down on my hands & knees (doesn't happen often) and gave it a scrub. Holy Cow! The filthy water!
The steamer is fine for occasional cleaning, but nothing beats soap on vinyl.
I was afraid to use it on hardwood.

I have high end laminate flooring and porcelain tile throughout my house. I recently purchased the Hoover Floor-Mate from Amazon.com and L-O-V-E it!! It works beautifully on the wood-laminate and on the tile? Well, the grout has never looked better.

We have prefinished wood floors and I use vinegar/water and a microfiber cloth to get up the spots. It leaves it really shiny. I have tile in my kitchen and mop it, but the grout has darkened. With the steamers and Floor mate- do they get the corners and edges? I was going to see if I could rent one and try it.

DH was with a wood coatings group for years supplying a major wood floor company with coatings. He says the two biggest "killers" of wood flooring are sunlight (direct and indirect) AND WATER! Tile can be cleaned in a number of ways but your simple cleaning is just fine. If your hubby wants to steam, let him go for it! The wood flooring just needs a vac/sweep and then Bona it.
