Wood floors depend on their finish for protection. Acidic cleaners like vinegar may slowly wear down that finish or leave the floor looking dull.
Use a cleaner made for sealed wood floors, and avoid soaking the floor with water.
If you do not know what finish your floor has, test any cleaner in a hidden area or follow the flooring manufacturer’s guidance.
Vinegar is not always harmless. For wood floors, a proper wood floor cleaner is the safer choice.
