Hardwood Floor Care Tips
Hardwood floors are no small
investment. So our commitment to making your floor last doesn't stop
when it's finished. On the following pages, you'll see how our
exclusive maintenance system is specifically formulated to enhance the
life of your newly finished wood floor.
For over 75 years, BonaKemi,
the worldwide leader in wood floor finishing technology, has been
protecting and maintaining the natural beauty of wood floors with
premium quality finishes, polishes and cleaners used by flooring
professionals the world over. You'll find Bona® wood floor finishes and care products
are as natural as your wood floor and carry the Environmental Choice
Seal, giving you the assurance that you're "Doing The Right Thing" for
you, your family and your environment. By following these 3 easy
steps, you can enjoy the beauty and warmth of your wood flooring for a
lifetime. Proper care and maintenance will preserve the luster of the
floor's finish, plus help the topcoat finish protect the wood beneath.
These cleaning and
maintenance tips apply to wood floors sealed and finished with a clear
protective coating such as polyurethane or factory prefinished UV
coatings. Bona® Swedish
Formula Hardwood Floor Cleaner is not recommended for use on oiled or
waxed floors.
General cleaning of your
wood floors is recommended once every 1-2 weeks. Floors subjected to
heavy traffic should be cleaned on a more frequent basis.

Bona® WoodFloorWipe®
Hardwood Floor Cleaning Kit
For easy, safe
maintenance of your wood floor, we recommend the Bona® WoodFloorWipe® Hardwood Floor Cleaning Kit,
containing "All You Need" a specially designed Bona® Mop, a spray bottle of Bona® Swedish Formula® Hardwood Floor Cleaner, washable
terry cloth mop cover, along with complete How-To Guide care
instructions. |
|
Vacuum or Sweep
Always vacuum or sweep
to remove dirt and grit prior to cleaning your wood floors with
the Bona® WoodFloorWipe® Hardwood Floor Cleaning Kit.
|
 |
Spray
Lightly mist an 8'x8'
area of your wood floor, or directly mist the Bona® Mop terry cloth cover, with Bona® Swedish Formula® Hardwood Floor Cleaner. |
 |
Wipe
Using a back and forth
motion, clean the floor surface with your Bona® Mop or clean, soft cloth. Finish one
area before moving on to the next. The Bona® Mop's low profile and
easy-to-maneuver swivel-head makes it the perfect cleaning tool
for the hard-to-reach areas such as under furniture and cabinets,
around doors or in tight corners. When your terry cloth cover or
cloth becomes soiled, replace with clean ones. Continued use of
excessively soiled covers or cloths may cause streaking. Your Bona® Mop terry cloth covers are reusable.
Simply wash and dry them as you would any toweling.
When a spill occurs,
soak up the bulk liquid promptly. Mist the affected area with Bona® Hardwood Floor Cleaner and clean
with your Bona® Mop or a
clean, soft cloth. |
