Too much cleaning product used
This will often leave floors sticky. When you use too much cleaner, the excess creates a soapy residue that is sticky to the feet especially when you've not done enough rinsing. To tackle this potential cause of sticky floors: Try to follow the instructions on the label.
Bona Polish is NOT a hardwood floor cleaner. It is a cheap thin finish that you apply to your floors. Over time and repeated use the film gets thicker and it scuffs and scratches easily making the floors look unsightly. The only remedy to restore your floors is to strip the Bona Polish off.
If you're looking for a quick and easy solution for light cleaning and convenience, Swiffer WetJet might be a good fit. On the other hand, if you prefer an eco-friendly, reusable option that's versatile enough for various floor types and cleaning tasks, Bona could be the better choice.
Your wood floors may still look dirty after mopping due to a few common issues. One key factor could be a dirty mop that isn't properly cleaned between rounds, as it won't pick up new dirt effectively.
Hardwood floor deep-cleaning – every 2-3 weeks
Our deep cleaner provides a powerful, oxygenated formula to penetrate tough, heavy buildup.
Bona's Microfiber Dusting Pads are machine washable up to 500 times, making them a sustainable addition to your cleaning routine.
Polishing is a very simple process, and no special equipment is needed. Once you've done your prep work, you can simply squirt Bona Floor Polish directly onto the floor, then spread it evenly with an applicator and let it dry. Give it an hour before you walk on it, and 24 hours before allowing heavy traffic to resume.
Wash pad in warm or hot cycle with plain detergent. Air or tumble dry pad on low. DO NOT use bleach, fabric softener or dryer sheets. DO NOT wash with other cleaning rags/pads that have other cleaners on them.
Bona products are specially designed to protect floors and the environment. Bona cleaners won't dull your floors or leave behind any residue. Find the perfect products to clean, shine and protect your floors.
Any cleaning solution should be applied sparingly, and the floor should be dried immediately after mopping to prevent moisture from penetrating the wood.
Hardwood floors require the best care to retain impeccable condition. Substandard cleaning agents contain harmful components that leave your floors dull. Such cleaning products leave residues and streaks behind after cleaning, which affect the integrity of your floors.
Safe Cleaning
Too much vinegar can potentially dull the wood finish over time due to its acidity, while too much Dawn can leave a slippery residue. The ideal mixture typically involves a mild solution of diluted vinegar with just a few drops of Dawn.
Repeat the mopping and rinsing process until you've mopped the entire floor. When the wash or rinse water becomes visibly gray or dirty, empty and refill the buckets. This ensures that you are using clean water and not water filled with dirt. Using dirty water makes the rinsing process a complication.

General Care Tips with Bona
The mop is designed to work in tandem with the cleaner for effective and safe cleaning. Avoid Excess Moisture: Never use a steam mop or wet-mop. Excessive moisture can damage your floors. For spot-cleaning, use a slightly dampened (near dry) mop, and ensure the moisture evaporates quickly.
Bona's oxy powered floor cleaner deep cleans and penetrates through tough stuck-on stains, tracked in dirt, and accident messes with the cleaning power of Hydrogen Peroxide. The Odor Guard Technology eliminates and neutralizes urine and other organic odors upon contact.
Damp Mop Weekly
Use a Bona microfiber damp mop with residue-free floor cleaner to polish your hardwood floors weekly. Damp mops work faster and capture residual dirt and grime your dust mop couldn't catch.
With the vast array of cleaners available today, consumers need to be aware of how to properly use their products to avoid health hazards and damaging surfaces. Murphy® Oil Soap is one natural cleaner that's effective on hardwood floors and more when used as instructed.
