Hello, my house was built in 1913. I have 3/4 inch hard wood floors which are in excellent condition. Since the floors were installed in 1913 they have been cleaned 2 to 3 times a year using commercial terps applied with a soft rag and then followed with an electric buffer. Then hard wax applied with a soft cloth and polished with the electric buffer. I have not been able to find commercial terps for five or so years now and I am met with complete blank stares from clerks in stores when I ask for it. My floors are starting to look faded/bleached because I have not been able to clean the floors the way I was shown. Would you be able to help me with this problem? I do not mind to swich whatever needs to be switched by way of cleaning/maintenance. However, I do not want to proceed without some advise because what I have been able to find in hardware stores does not appear appropriate for my type of floor.
