I use a swiffer dry mop. when I wash my hard wood floor, i use warm water and a little vinegar. cleans it great and doesn't leave any streaks
Here are a few things to remember about vaccuum cleaners for hardwood flooring: Sometimes, vacuum cleaners can be used but in this case, make sure they are not the models with beater bars. In addition, while you would never want to use a wet mop on floors, the wood floor finishes allow a simple cleaning with a professional cleaning product. One of the best ways to keep your floor's shine is with a dust mop or a soft-bristle attachment on the vacuum cleaner. This way, dirt and debris are picked up so they do not scratch or gouge the wood. If you keep the floor cleaned on a regular basis, then dirt and dust do not accumulate to create problems. If you like, you can spray the dust mop with a cleaner, but again choosing only what the flooring manufacturer recommends. In most cases, a soft-bristle broom designed to trap dirt will do the trick although you can also use the same type of brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner. Along with spills, you can expect that your hardwood flooring will get dirty from everyday use. The best hardwood floor care in this instant is to use a soft-bristle broom or vacuum without beater bars to remove anything lying on the surface. Keep in mind, before you wipe any spill or simply mop your flooring, always clear the surface from dirt and dust first. Otherwise, the small pieces of dirt could actually cause the hardwood floor to become scratched.

Hey. You could just try buying a cheap vacuum cleaner from the supermarket (ASDA) or some kind of electrical store, just use the brush option on the cleaner end.
For hardwood floors I wouldn't use a vacuum. Just use a regular broom and dustpan. Then mop your floors. I use Murphys oil cleaner that you mix with water and mop your hardwood floors. It works great.
