Wood Floor Polish repairs smaller micro scratches. If you think the scratches are too deep, we recommend contacting a Bona Certified Craftsman for further advice and assistance.
Bona Hardwood Floor Polish - Low Gloss
For a more contemporary look, low gloss polish offers the same level of protection as our high gloss polish but provides a matte or satin sheen on your floor. Low gloss polish helps hide scuff marks and scratches and is great for high traffic areas or homes with kids and pets.
This product is the number one ruiner of floors that we come across. 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.
For particularly light scratches, you may find that polishing your floors helps a lot. Some of them can actually work to fill in small scuffs so you don't notice their appearance at all. You're also adding protective layering to your floor in the process!
Restoring Wooden Floors – The polish can also be used to restore older wooden floors too. It will fill in any micro scratches in the wood helping to even out and smooth the finish.
Bona Floor Polish: renewed protection and lasting shine. Bona Floor Polish offers a protective formula that renews floors by filling in micro-scratches and scuffs, shielding against future wear and tear, while adding a beautiful, durable shine.
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.
There is no need to rinse after. It really helps maintain the floors.
Based on advice from experts, Murphy's Oil Soap can help reduce the visibility of scratches when used correctly. However, it will not remove the scratches completely.
The propensity for wood flooring to scratch is influenced by several factors. These include the specific type of wood used, its finish, and even the hardwood species involved. If you opt for high-quality wood, scratching should generally be less of a concern due to the material's inherent durability.
Bona cleaners won't dull your floors or leave behind any residue.
You have several options: stain markers, floor wax sticks, or a hardwood touch-up kit. Just rub the marker or wax stick over the scuffed area. Then buff it with a soft cloth to restore the floor's shine. If you can't find a matching color for your hardwood, you might have to mix colors to find an appropriate match.
Spray: Apply Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner directly onto the floor. The spray format makes it easy to target specific areas.
Bona products are specially designed to protect floors and the environment. Bona cleaners won't dull your floors or leave behind any residue, chemical or otherwise.
Streaks usually come from a combination of possible residue in the cleaner and existing dirt on your floor.
Dirt particles can act like sandpaper, and will wear floors down over time. Bona recommends implementing a “daily, weekly, monthly/bi-monthly” cleaning routine. When it comes to polishing hardwood floors, Bona's specially-formulated hardwood floor polish can be used several times a year.
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.
The Bona polish does not wear off completely, ever, and needs to be stripped to remove it completely.
One thing that the Swiffer mop can provide you with that the Bona mop does not is flexibility in flooring type. The Bona mop is recommended for cleaning only hardwood floors, but the Swiffer spray mop was designed to be compatible with a variety of surfaces, like laminate, hardwood, vinyl, and ceramic tile flooring.
There are three products that I typically choose from to remove scratches on any type of floor: Bona Hardwood Floor Polish, Rejuvenate All Floors Restorer or Lundmark Poly-Pro Tech.
Sanding is the preferred method when dealing with significant floor damage. It can remove deep scratches and gouges that buffing cannot address and, if your floor has stains or discoloration that won't come out with cleaning or buffing, sanding will help remove these blemishes.
