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.
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.

*If using the Bona MicroPlus mop to dry mop, remove any dirt or grit after dry-mopping by rinsing with water out then wringing out the mop pad prior to cleaning floor with Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner.
