Cleaning floors

2021 Grand Design Imagine 22 MLE
What product, if any, do you use to clean your floors. Thanks.
Damp cloth & Dawn (or whatever I have on hand). I also sweep it every time we break down for travel.
 
We carry a Dewalt vacuum with us and use it while camping and once we're done our trip and home we put a dishwasher pod in a bucket of hot water and wash it with a spin mop.

Wife vacuums, and then uses a little vinegar with water to clean the kitchen, bathroom and hallway floors. We dont wear our shoes in the RV so the floors dont take much to clean.
 
Sweep, then a swiffer wetjet. After a couple of seasons, do it the old fashioned way with a wash rag on my hands and knees.

This ^^^. There should be a pamphlet in your paperwork for the RV from the flooring manufacturer that addresses floor care. Most of the hard floor manufacturers say not to use anything other than hot water. We always mixed just a little bit of vinegar with the water in a spray bottle. We used just enough for a small area using an old terry washcloth on our hands and knees. You don't want to get anything really wet, or you'll have problems with base trim and cabinets.

Dont believe the reflection 150s have hardwood. They look amd feel more line linoleum/vinyl laminate. The wife has used very little water and even less vinegar (2 small cap fulls vinegar to a gallon of water). And damp mops it only. Been doing that for 5 years.... no issues - but cleaned floors. Besides, lots of problems with RV floors that cant take some moisture if thats the case, right?

I didn't say anything about hardwood - I said "hard floor."

nobody (that I know of) uses hardwood floors in an RV, they're all hardwood "look alike" lino.

True..... but im trying to figure out what difference would having a "hard floor" make in this discussion??? All floors stick built, RV, garage basement, etc are hard... otherwise we would be busting thru every time we walk on them. The question should be, what cleaner is strong enough, non damaging, and still effective. We choose water with a little vinegar and it works great, others can use what works for them. Was offering my $.02 to the OP only on what wprks for us.

As opposed to carpet (which has mostly disappeared now from RVs).
