Hi

Was the floor sealed when it was it was laid?  Lots of types of polish can be used as a type of seal also but unfortunately this only usually applies to linoleum, thermoplastc, terrazzo etc.  

When it comes to wood and cork I would say seal it first as this will reinforce the surface.

However you can wax an unsealed wood floor, which will protect and polish.  I recommend you seek the advice of express cleaning for suitable products.

Hope this helps
