taking care of your wooden floor

Lacquer provides a strong barrier between your wooden floor and daily use - but it can still be damaged. Over time, your floor is likely to accumulate small scratches, scuffs and other damage - but there’s lots you can do to protect your floor and keep it looking fresh.

For daily cleaning of your lacquered floor, we recommend using Bona’s range of cleaning products. For ease of use on a daily basis, Bona’s Wood Floor Spray Mop is perfect and can be refilled with Bona’s Wood Floor Cleaner. We recommend avoiding using excessive amounts of water (i.e. a traditional mop and bucket) on your floors, as this can weaken the lacquer and ultimately cause water damage to the floor.

For a deeper clean, we recommend using Bona’s OxyPower Deep Cleaner, which can be used in the Bona Spray Mop for ease of application.

Every few months (or if you notice your floor looking a little dull), we recommend using Bona’s Wood Floor Refresher. This reduces the appearance of fine scratches and scuffs and breathes new life into your floors again.

Finally, we’d recommend a full buff and recoat by us every 1-3 years, depending on the amount of wear and tear your floor experiences. This process removes the layer of lacquer before applying a fresh layer, making sure that the wood is protected and looking its best for as long as possible.

Wood floor oil enhances the natural beauty of the wood itself, but it’s important to protect your oiled floor as much as possible from daily wear and tear. Oiled floors can be more susceptible to damage so it’s vital that you keep your floors clean and protected to keep it fresh for as long as possible.

For daily cleaning of your oiled floor, we recommend using Bona’s range of cleaning products. Please take care to purchase the products specifically formulated for oiled floors, not lacquered floors.
