I have hardwood floors in every room exept two and I Swiffer every day, then Swiffer and vacuum once a week and mop if necessary. It's always necessary in the kitchen due to spills, etc. but I haven't had any problem or complaints. It's so much more convenient to have hardwood floors rather than carpet and I can't wait til I can get the other two rooms done. I will say, this, though: I vacuum my carpets and furniture every day and that really keeps the hardwood floors from gathering dust bunnies.
