• Don’t let spills settle on your flooring. Fluids aren’t generally the thing you would want to keep on your hardwood floor, if you leave fluid on the floor for a prolonged period of time this will cause water spots. If there are any spillages clean up the fluids straight away using an absorbent cloth.
• Always try to follow the floor manufacturer’s recommendations when possible and try to sweep daily, always using a soft fine bristled broom. Sweeping is an important part of maintaining a wooden floor and sweeping daily will help keep things off the floor which may cause scratching.
• Make sure that you know the type of finish on your wooden floor and follow the correct maintenance procedures for them e.g. Never wax a urethane floor instead use only a very dry damp cloth (to avoid water damage)
• Place glides (furniture guards/pads) under any furniture on your wooden flooring to avoid scratching the floor underneath. Also place mats at every entrance to prevent people from walking in dirt and grit onto your floor
• Vacuum regularly, try to vacuum at least 2 times a week to get the loose dirt which may have been missed, please be cautious however as hard plastic and stiff bristles can scratch the finish on your floor.
• Try to avoid wearing heavy shoes, high heels and sports shoes on your flooring as these can cause dents and indentations on your floor. Also children’s toys can cause damage to your floor, a prime example are racing cars which can scratch the flooring.
• Don’t over-wax a wax floor, if your floor dulls and you want to restore its shine you may want to invest in a buffer. However it may be best to get suggestions from the floor manufacturer for the specific procedures for your floor.
• Clean up pet mess quickly, keep food dishes on a mat and keep their nails trimmed to avoid any stains and scratches.
• Mop regularly using a dry damp mop adding cleaner to the water (we personally recommend the Bona range of cleaners as their quality is fantastic)
• Cover the floor when decorating so any dropped screws or paint wont damage your flooring, also, when moving heavy furniture slip a piece of cloth or pile under the legs to avoid any scuffing and scratching.

Keep your wood floor free from dirt and grime

Cleaning your floor at least once a week will stop the build up of dirt, minimising the risk of scratching or dulling your hardwood floor or engineered floor. Our Bona Care Mop will get rid of any loose dirt or grime and covers large areas at once.

Remove stains and grime with a Wood Floor Cleaner

Our Bona wood floor cleaner is specially formulated to remove stubborn marks with minimal effort. Simply spray on the affected area , leave for a few minutes and wipe clean with the Bona Care Mop. There’s no need to use a water-soluble cleaning solution either, which is ideal for wood floors since water generally isn’t welcome! In fact, using traditional household cleaning products can dull your wood floor and make refinishing difficult.

Other Tips and Advice

Avoid having to sand your floor to the bare wood – Simply sand down the existing finish leaving it slightly rough (called abrading). Refinish your wood floor by applying your lacquer, oil or stain on top of the old abraded finish. Make sure you use the same finish to ensure consistent results.

Reduce the hassle of finishing your wood floor - Bona Waterborne finishes are both environmentally sound and safe to use. This takes away the inconvenience of staying clear of the room while it is drying. It also offers peace of mind for when children are playing on your newly finished floor.
