Cleaning Dirty Hardwood Floors

About two years ago I had wood flooring installed in my house except for the baths and kitchen. Now the are places that look dirty and are rough to the touch. I've tried Murphy's Oil soap and Orange Glo for wood floors. They did not work. Does anyone know of a better way to clean wood floors?

It depends on the finish on the floors. I have been told to clean mine with a vinegar-water solution but I can't remember what the finish is as it has been 20 years since they were re-done.

I just recently purchased a home, built in 1957, and it would seem that the wood floors were never cleaned. Someone recommended "denatured alcohol."
