Products for real wood floors

Hi all
I was wondering if anyone could suggest products for real wooden floors?
We have some flooring in our living room that was here when we moved in. Our joiner said it's real wood and would be v expensive to fit nowadays. It's lovely but its starting to show marks in high traffic areas and in some places there are some scuffs etc where we have had a lot of work in the room during renovating the house.

It's not deep scratches, more that it looks sort of dull and hazy in some areas, where the rest looks a rich colour and nice and shiny. Mopping or cleaning with a damp cloth doesn't work. I've tried Method wood floor polish and that doesn't help either.
I have no idea what the previous owner used to keep it maintained.

Can anyone recommend something to give it the lustre back and protect it? Bonus points for something with natural-ish ingredients as my husband really suffers from allergies when I use strong cleaning sprays etc.

Thanks

Sounds like it might need a light sand and re finish to restore it. I really like Treatex Hardwax Oil for wooden floors. Then maintain it with their cleaning products. Wooden floors really don't like being wet mopped so I'd stop that right away.

@Zippedydoodahday
Thanks I'll have a look into that.
I have to say I have very rarely wet mopped / cleaned it, but occasionally with various renovation works being done it has been unavoidable!
