How To Use Bona Cleaning and Maintenance Products?

Hardwood floors, when treated with lacquer, have a surface which protects the floor from damage. This surface should be cleaned over time and maintained on a regular basis.

If the floor is well taken care of, its surface will become more resistant to soiling and the appearance of wear and will also remain beautiful for decades. How often you maintain your floor will depend on how you use and treat it.

Appropriate wood flooring maintenance products like Bona Wood Floor Cleaner (along with Bona Cleaning Spray Mop) and Bona Wood Floor Polish should be used.

1. Precautions

You need to make some precautions and remember to clean the floor regularly with soft broom or vacuum cleaner: bits of dirt and grit that are left behind can damage the surface of the floor:

Never use too much water when moping and remove stains immediately. Worn in stains are difficult to remove.

Try to avoid using pure water when cleaning the floor, use the maintenance product for lacquered floors instead. Do not use products that contain wax as these will form unwanted oily layer on the floor that will cause adhesion problems the next time you treat your floor.

Do not forget about beige floor protectors under chair and table legs – never use coloured floor protectors. Place protective dish under flowerpots.

Do not drag heavy objects across the floor – lift them up instead to avoid scratches. 

Be careful when opening the windows – a rain shower can damage the floor.

Do not wait until the varnish layer loses its shine.  Applying Bona Wood Floor Polish Mat on regular basis is recommended.

2. First Treatment After Installation

Soon after installation you should start regular maintenance programme using Bona Wood Floor Cleaner.

3. Bona Wood Floor Cleaner – Regular Cleaning.

For the regular cleaning of your lacquered floor you can mop it with little water and if you want to use a cleaning product, Bona Wood Floor Cleaner is the best as suited for cleaning of lacquered wooden surfaces.
