Always vacuum
or sweep to remove dirt and grit prior to cleaning your wood floors
with the Bona®
Swedish Formula®
Hardwood Floor Care System.

Spray
Lightly mist an
8'x8' area of your wood floor, or directly mist the 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
pad or cloth becomes soiled, replace with clean ones. Continued
use of excessively soiled covers or cloths may cause streaking.
Your Bona®
Mop pads
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.

Care Essentials
What To Do
·
Vacuum or sweep your hardwood floor regularly. General cleaning
once every week is recommended.
·
Remove spills promptly using your Bona
MicroPlus mop or Micro plus floor cloth
and Bona Swedish Formula Wood Floor Cleaner.
·
Place floor mats at exterior doors to trap sand and grit. Use area
rugs in high traffic pathways, at ends of steps and near doorways.
Avoid rubber backing or non-ventilated rugs.
·
Use protective pads or caps such as Floor
D-fenders protective pads on “feet” of furniture.
·
Renew worn surfaces with Bona Swedish
Formula Hardwood Floor Refresher before the bare wood is exposed.
·
Maintain a consistent humidity level between heating seasons in all living
areas. Excessive swings in humidity levels will cause hardwood floors
to swell, shrink, cup, crack and show excessive gaps between boards.
The use of humidifier and/or dehumidifier systems is recommended where
inconsistent humidity levels occur.
What Not To Do
·
Don’t let sand, dirt or grit build up on your wood floor. They
can act like sandpaper and actually abrade and dull your hard wood floor
finish.
·
Don’t damp mop hardwood floors. Too much water can cause the floor
to swell or warp.
·
Don’t let your pets’ claws go untrimmed. Proper claw trimming helps
avoid scratches and gouges in your hardwood floor.
·
Don’t walk on your hardwood floors in high heels, and keep heels in good
repair.
·
Don’t use wax, oil soap, or other household cleaners on polyurethane
finished wood floors. They can dull today’s floor finishes and make
refinishing difficult.
