I bought an 55 year old home with the original wood floors. The people told me they just had an oil finish on them. I am trying to find a cleaner that I can use on them. Stuff like Murfheys Oil, Swefter WetJet, all say they are not recommended for oil floors. Also I wanted to know if there was a product I can put on the floor to bring a shine back.

I have considered refinishing the floor but I can not find anything that talks about what you can and cannot do being a oil finished floor.
