As the owner of a commercial and residential cleaning company I can say this is great advice. Bona makes a great product. Always look for a no rinse, neutral ph product for your floors. Otherwise you will have to have people like me come in with the orbiter and get them right and its not cheap to have done.

@@FixItWithMe Ok sounds like to much soap. Here is a easy solution that works great as well. Your going to mix a half cup 70% rubbing alcohol with 1 cap from the bottle of Mrs. Meyers multi surface cleaner concentrate with water in a sprayer type mop. Wring your microfiber pad in water before using so its damp. Make sure you mop with the grain not against it.

DON’T use Bona polish on engineered wooden floors. It leaves a waxy film over the yrs and it will dull your floors. Trying to get rid of the polish film now and it’s a pain in the butt!!

Maybe you can tell me why in my new house every time I clean the floors I still end up with blackfeet? That house is 20 years old and I am constantly mopping because I have toddlers and a newborn. Why do these floors never get get clean? How do I get it to stop turning people's socks black

I had same problem , was beside 405 motorway , and it looks like its was car exhaust residue.

I've been sanding hardwood floors for over 30 years and I'm also certified by Bona. I give all of my clients the same advice for maintaining their floors, with one exception. You don't have to use a vacuum. You can also use those blue Bona micro fiber towels (or any micro fiber towel) to do a dry prep. You'll probably have to vacuum off the towel a few times or replace it with a clean towel. Then use the Bona cleaner. In fact, I recommend just doing the dry method on a daily basis and doing the wet method only as needed. BTW, Bona also has a newer product that is essentially the same as a disposable Swiffer pad that's pre-moistened.

What's the dry method please

I don't understand how when people mop the floor, they literally walk in the wet spots😮🤔🤔🤔 also, I have hardwood floors and my landlord has always recommended using only hot water to clean the floors. And when I tell u, he is absolutely right! I've been in this place for almost six years and the floors are not dull looking, still has a shine.

Thanks for your comment. If you watch to the end I re-mop the whole floor without walking on it. And yep water is great no qualms against it.

I use a soft brush parquet for hardwood floors on Miel vaccum designed for this purpose and Bona hardwood floor cleaner and Bona mop.

I am about to start laying hickory in our house, 2 1/4" wide. We have an exterior door that will open into the room that will have the hickory. I would like to use hardwood right to the door but am afraid of the amount of moisture that will be brought in from outside, we live in Maine. It's not a heavily used door, any thoughts about this type of situation? I have considered putting down some ceramic tile by the door as well. Excellent video by the way, Thanks!

How can I show a photo so you can guide me and know if I can use that product on my red oak floor? I see some stains or I don't know what's wrong or what I did wrong. I have been using murphy

I've been using a shark steam mop for cleaning my engineered wood floor and it works great.

What floor is this? Its beautiful💜

So is this a natural wood floor or laminate flooring?

Beautiful floor and great tips

Great video ! You prolly just saved my hardwoods

Please list which vacuum you used in this video or which you recommend?!

love that kitchen!

Is steam cleaning ok?

Professional cleaner here, I mop once or even twice to scrub then one more time with a dry or near dry swiffer type of mop to dry/polish up the floors. And yes bona is okay but since I'm trying to make as much profit as possible I usually just use water as well then occasionally if the customer says they like Murphys or whatever else I'll use a small amount but absolutely dont use it often. If you clean floors everytime with oil like that you will notice that it becomes sticky too. Looks nice and shiny sure but overtime creates more hassle to Clean and could ruin the floors. One tip is if your worried about bacteria to do vinegar and water mixture. The vinegar is a disinfectant and will not harm the wood as long as you don't let it soak same as water or whatever.. i meatn if you use it alot and often maybe but again you shouldn't need anything more than a quick vacuum or sweep and a damp swiffer mop on a daily basis anyway and the extra stuff is only occasionally 😅. Pledge is the worst. I have customers ask to add that each time then they complain about it getting extra sticky and I have to scrub it back down again with dawn dish soap and reapply a tiny amout of oil back. Alittle oil occasionally is good for wood and leather and stuff like that but you cannot clean it everytime like that. You remove the dirt and oils then re apply a little bit back occasionally if it's needed. Same with stainless steel cleaners too. People clean over and over again and then wonder why it stops looking good even without water damage. Uhh cause you gotta clean it out then add some more oils from the stainless cleaning solution. If you just keep adding more and more layers of oils it's not actually cleaning anything and all that sits for months or even years collecting dust and stuff😅

so SWIFFER wet jet is ok to clean the floors? What can I use to make them shiny? Great video

Many pro's use a couple of drops (literally) of baby oil to add a bit of shine.

What to use on old wooden floors that been covered with furniture for years and now that the furniture is removed. Would you use the same routine or what would you use for the oldness and gunk.

Here is a link to newer version of it. amzn.to/3FzJVvw That one is pretty old. Honestly any vacuum that the spinning head can be turned on and off will work.

When cleaning wood floors always go with the grain except in corners. Never ever use only water but instead in a tank like on the floor mop used in this video first put warm to hot water in the tank then add a single teaspoon of Murphy's Oil Soap and nothing else.

About five years ago, Bona laughed a horrible film all over my brand new wood floors. They had a matte polyurethane on it, and it took forever to get it off. Stay away from Bona.
