There are a number of products that look and do pretty much the same thing, so for an untrained eye it can be easily confusing. In this article we will explain in detail what product should be used for what job and how to make a difference between all the Bona`s wood floor cleaners and maintainers.

There are two types of wood floor cleaners you can buy from Bona, a number of deep cleaning products and a number of wood floor maintainers. Pretty much all heavy duty wood floor cleaners are highly concentrated and require dilution while all daily cleaning and maintenance products are ready to use. A deep wood floor cleaning product is a highly alkaline floor cleaning product suitable for once off deep cleaning jobs on wooden floors badly affected by traffic, grime, stains, etc. A deep cleaning detergent will help exfoliate the dirt and facilitate easy removal of all kinds of residue. A wood floor maintainer is a low PH floor cleaning detergent suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance of new or newly polished or refinished wooden floors. All wood floor maintainers from Bona are safe and will not negatively affect the finish of the floor. So the heavy duty floor cleaners are for once off cleaning projects (renovation, degreasing, restoration) while the wood floor maintainers are for “light daily maintenance”.

Now that you understand the difference between heavy duty wood floor cleaners and the wood floor maintainers, you have to learn the difference between varnished floors and oiled floors. So a Bona wood floor cleaner or wood floor maintainer is usually compatible with an oiled wooden floor or a lacquered wood floor. Some of the heavy duty concentrated floor cleaners are compatible with both types of finishes but the maintainers are only compatible with one particular type of finish.

Bona Wood Care Products | Wood Floor Cleaners | Why So Many Cleaners?

Well, not all wooden floors are sealed with the same type of sealant and not all wooden floors experience the same level of traffic. A standard residential floor in a house with 3-5 people will get a totally different level of traffic than a gym floor or a restaurant floor. So the cleaning product and the cleaning system is usually different. To remove heavy duty impregnated dirt from oiled or varnished floors you will need much stronger wood floor cleaners than removing dirt from your average living room floor. Also, some wood floor cleaners are great stain removers, some are compatible with scrubber driers, some are concentrated. So each type of wood floor cleaning product was designed by Bona for a particular type of wood floor.

An oiled floor requires regular refreshing and nourishing while a varnished floor does not need any refreshing for a few years. So if you are using an oiled floor cleaner to clean varnished floors, you will notice pretty fast. The “oily” refresher that is contained within the oiled floor cleaner has to penetrate the wood and refresh the floor, but on a varnished floor, it can`t. So it will deposit at the top of the floor and it will make the floor very slippery. So it is important to use the most appropriate wood floor cleaner for exactly the finish it was designed for.
