Is the Bona mop recommended for my new laminate floors?

We use Bona on our solid wood floors so I cannot tell you if it works on laminates. I can tell you it works very well on our solid wood, which come from Lumber Liquidators.

that's why I switched to a BonaKemi mop for my wood floors.... swiffer solution is going to streak your wood floors. Bona does not. Amazon sells the BonaKemi hardwood floor mop and refill for wood floors, it's great!

Do you have hardwood flooring our laminate flooring? The Bona hardwood cleaner can be used on laminate but, the Bona laminate cleaner can't be used on hardwood. I just spray the cleaner on the floor or on the pad itself.

I am sure about using the steam mop on bamboo flooring. I haved use on both laminent and hardwood floors and have had no problem.

I just used it on our laminate wood floors. It cleaned up the residue from the old Swiffer Wet mop.

The pads are fine for laminate. They are more heavily padded than the original green Bissell pads that came with my mop, so I can't see them damaging a laminate floor.

I have floating wood floors, It is pretty much like any other mop. I wish it was a bit thicker tho.

Yes. The mop wrings almost completely dry so it is safe on laminate or wood floors.

I have laminate and tile and it works fabulously on both of them in both mop and sweep mode. Do you mop your wood? If so, I would think this would be perfect. It leaves absolutely NO streaking and uses no chemicals and I love it. I would go with the 380 t if you have a large house. I have the white one but now wish I had gone with the black model because it covers more and charges longer. But in any case, I would buy another one of these again in an instant if this one ever quit. Saves me so much time and my floors sparkle. No more dust bunnies!

I don't recall what the directions said about laminate flooring, however the microfiber pads are really soft. I believe the only way it would scratch you floor is if there was something abrasive already on it not from the mop. In addition the mist is really fine so it should over-saturate your floor while cleaning it.

the bona pad is a microfiber pad (as opposed to a terry cloth). It fits the mop perfectly and goes into the washing machine so it's practical. It usually comes with the mop but I have bought an extra pad (on line) because all my house is hardwood. I imagine you could use another pad i.e. it's not going to hurt the floor and it's not going to make the Bona not work but honestly the bona pad is so easy to use, clean and fits the mop perfectly that I would not think to use something else.

I bought the ready to use kind of Bona. I just poured it into a applicator bottle that came with my Rubber Maid mop and applicators. I works great. Even lightened the grout. I love it.

It just takes practice. I've used two mop brands on laminate floors and both worked fine. The O'Cedar wrings slightly dryer, but the trade-off is the relatively fragile twist lock button -- if it breaks, you lose your mop. Either would be fine mops for your floors -- and I just noticed your question is a year old! But maybe the answers will help someone else.

Yes...we have laminate, wood and tile. You put the duster covers on to the mop part and mop an vacuum at the same time. We also use the swifter wetjet with the wood cleaning liquid to wash our laminate floors and bought the two pack of regular liquid for our tile floors.

It is not recommended, but I have used it for years and my floors still look like new. I also use the Bona floor cleaner and the floors look terrific.

I have not used the Bona cleaning liquid. However, I have used the flip mop many times and love it. Had it over a year and used it many times with no problems at all.

don't know what the bona mop handle looks like. However, if it is the Velcro type, I expect the polishing pad will fit.
