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!!

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.

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.

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😅

In a home with hard wood floors, the previous tenants didn't clean much. The cleaner guy did the floors before I moved in, and they looked clean and disinfected, but my feet would get dirty walking around on it. So I bought a Bona and some Bona hardwood floor cleaner. I used only those two items and scrubbed the entire house. I'm a pretty darn fit person, but I was sore for days. Unfortunately, walking abound in bare feet now gets my feet just as dirty as before. What should I do? Keep hard scrubbing with the Bona stuff until I reach my desired level of dirt-free and wear myself out every few days in the process, or hire a professional to do the work, or buy a machine that will safely and effectively get these floors clean? I'm not planning on eating off of them, but I'd like to be able to walk around without my feets and socksies getting all caked up with the dirts.

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.

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!
