How do you get shiny hardwood floors?
The best way to get shiny hardwood floors is to sand and refinish them and use a glossy (or semi gloss finish). Not only will your floors look glossy, but they will stay glossy looking even after you clean them. (If you floors are in good condition and don't have any scratches, an alternative is to screen & recoat where you just add another coat of polyurethane and you choose a glossy (or semi gloss finish). Please note that some of the products out there that you can rub on and claim to give you a glossy finish will only give your floors a temporary sheen and that they use waxes and oils that will actually damage the finish/polyurethane on the floor and cause to refinish your floors sooner.

Why don't your hardwood floor shine?
If your hardwood floor is not shining, it might need some polish. Or, it might just be old. I suggest investing in a new hardwood floor if yours is so ancient that it has lost its ability to be lucent. Or you can have your floors refinished. If they have been sanded recently, you might have a satin sheen in the polyurethane that was applied. If this is the case, all you have to do is re coat it with a semi gloss or gloss polyurethane.

How do you get stain off Ceramic tile floor from doing the wood floor to gloss and step on tile and cant get it off?
Try rubbing the stain off with mineral spirits or paint thinner first. If that doesn't work, you may have to try a chemical stripper that removes the type of finish you applied to your wood floors. Generally, they won't damage the glazing on ceramic tiles, but they may strip color from your grout so be careful.
What does satin finish look like on solid natural oak floor... Any photos...would you recommend satin or semigloss?
Satin finish will look very nice, but won't be as shiny as the semi-gloss. I would recommend the satin finish because it won't show scratches as much.
