Following manufacturer's care and maintenance instructions is important. You can find Anderson's recommendations at http://www.andersonfloors.com/instcare/gencare.aspx

If finish is polyurethane, a solution of 1/2 cup white vinegar in 1 gallon water can be used for general cleaning. Solution can be spritzed with spray bottle onto cleaning rag or cotton mop to damp mop. Clean a section at a time, toss down an old towel, rub back & forth in direction of wood grain, before moving on to the next section.

There are many commercial floor cleaners available. Make sure the label specifically states that it is safe for polyurethane finish & not one of the popular 'safe for all floor' cleaners. Bona Kemi, as indicated on the Anderson site, is highly recommended by many manufacturers, installers, and home owners.
