Some Simple Tips to avoid damage:
- Don’t clean wood flooring with a wet mop. Excess water can cause the floor to swell, warp or turn grey.
- Don’t use wax, soap or other household cleaners on lacquered wood floors. They can dull the floor’s finish.
- Don’t let sand, dirt or grit build up. They can act like sandpaper, abrading and dulling your floor finish.
- Vacuum or sweep your floors regularly. Once every week is recommended
- Remove spills promptly using a Bona Mop and Bona Wood Floor Cleaner.
- Place mats at exterior doors to trap sand and grit. Use rugs in high traffic areas, at ends of stairs and near doorways. Avoid rubber backing or non-ventilated rugs.
- Use protective pads or caps on furniture.
- Trim your pet’s claws. Proper claw trimming helps avoid scratches and gouges.

OXIDATIVE OILED FLOORS
Oiled floors should be kept saturated. Use Bona Soap to clean and preserve the surface. Do not clean the surface with “all-purpose” cleaners that remove the surfaces natural fat. For daily cleaning, use dry cleaning methods such as a vacuum cleaner, a soft broom or a Bona dusting Pad. To avoid oiled floors becoming dull and dry, apply a coat of Bona maintenance oil regularly to increase the floors resistance to water and dirt. For best results, start the maintenance before the floor is starting to look dry, not after.
