MAINTAINING YOUR FLOOR IS AS EASY AS 1, 2, 3
- Lightly mist a 4' x 6' area of your floor or directly mist the cleaning pad with Swedish Formula®
Hardwood Floor Cleaner.
- Vacuum, dry mop or sweep to remove any loose dirt or grit. The best method of removing dirt
and grit is vacuuming with a soft brush attachment on your vacuum. If using the Bona MicroPlus
mop to dry mop, remove any loose dirt or grit after dry-mopping by rinsing with water and
wringing out the mop pad prior to cleaning floor with Bona® Swedish Formula® Hardwood Floor
Cleaner.
- Using a slightly dampened, well wrung-out Bona MicroPlus cleaning pad, thoroughly clean the
floor surface using your Bona MicroPlus mop. Finish one area before moving on to the next.
- When your mop pad becomes soiled, rinse with water, thoroughly wring out the pad and continue
cleaning with Swedish Formula® Hardwood Floor Cleaner. When the mop pad becomes
excessively soiled, launder and replace with another clean mop pad. Continued use of excessively
soiled pads may cause streaking.
- Your Bona MicroPlus cleaning pads are reusable and washable.
Do not use any fabric softeners, dryer sheets or bleach on your MicroPlus cleaning pad as these products will
diminish the natural cleaning characteristics of the microfiber.
When a spill occurs, soak up the liquid right away. Mist the area with cleaner,
and wipe with your Bona MicroPlus mop or a MicroPlus Floor Cloth.
Bonas waterbased, non-toxic cleaner is specially-designed for polyurethane finished hardwood floors. Unlike all-
purpose cleaners and oil soaps, it quickly cleans tough stains and spills—from dried spaghetti sauce and red wine to
scuff marks—all without dulling your floor’s beautiful finish or leaving any residue. There’s no mixing or diluting;
Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner is full-strength and ready to use.
FLOOR CARE ESSENTIALS
WHAT TO DO & WHAT NOT TO DO
• Vacuum or sweep floor regularly. General cleaning once every week is recommended.
• Don’t let sand, dirt or grit build up. They can act like sandpaper and actually abrade and dull your
floor finish.
• 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.
• Renew worn surfaces with Bona® Swedish Formula® Hardwood Floor Refresher before the bare
wood is exposed. Not for use on Hard Surface floors.
• Use protective pads or caps such as Bona® FloorGards™ on “feet” of furniture.
• Place mats at exterior doors to trap sand and grit. Use area rugs in high traffic pathways, at the ends of
steps and near doorways. Avoid rubber backing or non-ventilated rugs.
• Remove spills promptly using your Bona® MicroPlus™ mop or MicroPlus™ Floor Cloth and Bona®
Swedish Formula® Floor Cleaner.
• 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.
• Don’t walk on your hardwood floors in high heels, and keep heels in good repair.
• Don’t let your pets’ claws go untrimmed. Proper claw trimming helps avoid scratches and gouges.
• Don’t damp mop hardwood floors. Too much water can cause the floor to swell or warp.
