3. Safety Information

Observe the following safety precautions when using Bona Hardwood Floor Polish:

Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
Do not ingest. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Call a poison control center or doctor immediately.
Use in a well-ventilated area.
Test in an inconspicuous area before full application to ensure compatibility with your floor finish.
Dispose of empty containers according to local regulations.

4. Preparation

Proper preparation is crucial for achieving the best results. Follow these steps before applying the polish:

Clear the Area: Remove all furniture, rugs, and other items from the floor to be polished.
Clean the Floor: Thoroughly clean the hardwood floor using a suitable hardwood floor cleaner (e.g., Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner). Ensure all dirt, dust, and grime are removed.
Allow to Dry: Let the floor dry completely before proceeding. Any moisture can affect the polish application and finish.
Inspect the Floor: Check for any remaining debris or sticky spots. Address these before application.

5. Application (Operating Instructions)

Follow these steps for effective application of Bona Hardwood Floor Polish:

Shake Bottle: Gently shake the Bona Hardwood Floor Polish bottle before use.
Apply to Floor: Squirt a 4-inch wide S-shaped line of polish directly onto a small section of the floor (approximately 5x5 feet).
Spread Evenly: Using a clean Bona Microfiber Applicator Pad attached to a mop, spread the polish evenly with the grain of the wood. Ensure a thin, uniform coat without puddling.
Overlap Sections: Work in small sections, overlapping each new section with the previously polished area to ensure a seamless finish.
Allow to Dry: Allow the polish to dry for at least 1 hour before walking on the floor with socks. For best results, wait 24 hours before resuming normal traffic and replacing furniture.
Additional Coats (Optional): For extra shine and protection, a second coat can be applied after the first coat has dried completely (typically 2 hours).

Note: Do not use on waxed or oiled floors. Do not shake the bottle vigorously as this can create bubbles.

6. Maintenance

To maintain your polished hardwood floors and extend the life of the polish:

Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove loose dirt and grit.
Damp Mopping: For deeper cleaning, use a Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner with a microfiber mop. Avoid excessive water.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, wax-based products, or multi-surface cleaners, as these can dull or damage the polish.
Reapplication: Reapply Bona Hardwood Floor Polish every 2-4 months, or as needed, depending on foot traffic and wear.

7. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Streaks or Hazy Finish	Floor not thoroughly cleaned before application. Too much polish applied. Uneven application. Floor not completely dry.	Ensure floor is spotless and dry before applying. Apply a thinner, more even coat. Use a clean applicator pad.
