Your wood floor deserves the best!

Wood floors don't like being cleaned with a traditional mop and bucket. Excessive water and strong detergents risk damaging the floor. The Bona Premium spray mop, together with the Bona wood floor cleaner, is an all-in-one solution that lets you clean and maintain your wood floor quickly and properly. Just spray and wipe! Done!

How to clean for the best result.

1. Vacuum or dust with a Bona dusting pad often and regularly to keep dirt and debris off your floor that could damage your floor's finish.
2. Weekly clean your wood floor with the Bona Premium spray mop, which includes Bona wood floor cleaner and a Bona microfiber pad for a quick and easy clean.
3. Occasionally, when needed, deep clean with Bona OxyPower Wood Floor Deep Cleaner. The oxygenated formula releases thousands of micro-bubbles, giving you 3X the cleaning action to loosen heavy dirt build-up.

Long term

To strengthen the protection and restore the original low gloss appearance of your floor, it is possible to recoat Bona Traffic HD Raw without the need to sand the floor back to bare wood. We recommend that you have your wood floor craftsman apply an additional layer of lacquer every few years. Observe that polishes/refreshers and similar care products affect the appearance of the floor and should not be used.

Tips and tricks for protecting your floors.

Grit and stones carried in by footwear are your floor's worst enemy; try to prevent them by placing mats at all entrance doors.

Remove any spills immediately and protect your wood floor from liquids.

Install felt pads on furniture legs, especially chairs.

Regular dusting with a Bona Premium Microfiber Mop with Microfiber Dusting Pad will be your best defense against scratches and surface damage.

Should you need to remove any polish, use Bona Wood Floor Polish Remover.

Enjoy your newly renovated floor!

IMPORTANT!

• Plasticisers found in materials such as carpet underlays, furniture legs, castors, and adhesives used for fixing can lead to softening and discolouration. Exposure to hair dyes or rubber tyres on cars, cycles, and baby strollers can lead to irreversible discolouration of the surface. Use protection or avoid contact completely.
• Bona Lacquers will resist most common household chemicals, including disinfectants. Observe that strong colourants such as wine, coffee, tea, and similar beverages can cause a cosmetic stain in the surface. Always remove spills promptly.
• Please note that whilst Bona Lacquers are designed to provide a sealed surface that is resistant to wear, scuffing, and spillage, etc., no surface-applied finish system can prevent physical damage to the timber or "harden" the floor. Indentations in the wood and scratches may be caused by furniture, dropped items, dog claws, etc., and steps should be taken to reduce the possibility of this occurring.
• Bona Lacquers are non-yellowing and do not change colour under UV light. However, it cannot prevent the wood itself from changing colour due to tannin bleed, the movement/migration of natural oils, or the effects of UV light on wood.
