cleaning a wooden floor

Hi

i have a pine floor which has been waxed in the past. It is looking really dingy and i wondered what i could do to clean it up and if anything would lift out stains such as Ribena which have marked it.

thanks

    I've got an engineered wooden oak floor which is oiled and it is looking rather grubby, but I have no idea how to clean it. I have had a accident with water spillage before which left a stain, so I'm worried about giving it the once over with the mop.......what do you do for cleaning your wooden floor?

    TIA
  • As i need some help on how to clean a wooden floor, its the real wood stuff not a laminate although its layed like a laminate, if i sound like iv no idea what im talking about, thats because i dont :o
