They say you are not supposed to use water on wood floors. They recommend Bona but guess what it's mostly water so makes no sense to me. Most cleaners would have mostly water in them. The guy that installed ours said not to use a steamer on it. I have heard you can use steamers on sealed wood floors but some of those steamers leave your floors soaked which would not be a good thing. I'm using a damp microfiber pad on mine every once in a while. I use a dust mop from Fuller Brush several times a week. My floors are not what I would call shiny. I don't care for those really shiny wood or tile floors.

I have bamboo floors and would never put water on them. They can swell and pop. I also just use a damp microfiber pad on mine.

Write to the manufacturer and ask how they recommend caring for their flooring.
