Sweep and/or vacuum any dirt or debris that can scratch the floor. Use a soft brush, dust mop or vacuum.
Light daily sweeping or vacuuming will help maintain the floors original gloss by removing any grit particles, which can affect the normal gloss.

When necessary, wash the floor with a neutral floor cleaner.
