Does this work as well as a swifter? I usually use dry swifters before cleaning with Bona. Thanks!

I personally prefer it to the swiffer on a laminate floor. It corrals the dirt into one spot instead of attaching it to the pad. I hope that helps. I really liked the product.

This works much better. I like to use a broom to pick the heave stuff. Like if i haven't cleaned in two wks.Than I clean with Bona, than I use the duster. The duster would pick it all up even if you didn't use the broom though.

It's really a soft "dust mop". It is less likely to scratch if that's a concern. We use the Bona products exclusively after we had our new hardwood floor installed. We use the Swifter for tile surfaces. ope this helps you.

The Bona Dusting Pad is superior to the Swifter in my opinion. I too tried Swifter Dusting Pads on my wood floors and changed to the Bona Dusting Pad because I always ended up changing dusting pads at least twice every time I dusted my floors. Hope this helps.

I think it's way Better than my Swifer. This surprised me. I think it's the material..attracts micro particles Better.

YES and it words better. You only need to use this and no broom. The broom could scratch your hardwood floors. This picks EVERYTHING up

If you are doing dry sweeping, use the Bona microfiber dusting pad. I used to use a swiffer, and can't believe how much more I pick up with the bona. I still use a small brush and dustpan for picking up the larger crumbs that don't stick to the duster's surface. Also, it's washable, so no more swiffer cloths going to the landfill. I use this microfiber cleaning pad when I am wet mopping. I sweep first, so there isn't much for this to pick up.

I don't recall details ....th BONA site had detail discussion on this topic. I have just started using BONA on my wood and tile floors and never had the need to remove .... I do recall a very specific discussion on "polish" vs refresher. Polish is what you need to concern yourself with for removal whereas refresher was easier to deal with

I use Barkeepers Friend. The liquid one works well but if it needs more cleaning I use the powdered Barkeepers Friend. Never used Bon Ami so I cant comment on that product. Hope this helps.

I spritz it on a paper towel and then go after spots on the traffic areas of my hardwood floor (yes on my hands and knees). I bought a robot floor cleaner and intend to spritz this onto microfibre cloths that attach and let the robot do the work for me. I don't like Swifter as it leaves a cloudy look on wood floors.

I don't know if you are in a salon, or home. I would first go over with broom, then damp cloth, before using your sharp. There are two sides of cloth. One for scrubbing, and one for final mop. I use distilled water as is suggested. I love my Sharp. I hope this was helpful.

It is similar but the mop part is bigger and the material is a thicker cloth. I actually vacuum or use the dry Swiffer prior to mopping with the Bona just to get up all of the loose debris. Then you just spray the Bona on the floor and mop away!

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 find it to be very effective with kiln-dried wood which has considerable dust. I use mine mostly on green wood though which has little dust compared to kiln-dried wood, and it tends to clog once in awhile with the longer, damp shavings - quick & easy to clean out though :-)

It does a very good job of cleaning. Out two mid-size dogs have free access to the back yard via a doggie door, so they track-up the floor a lot. The BONA cleans effectively, but doesn't leave a shine. I am contemplating a 'rejuvinating' product seen on TV to bring back the original lustre. But as a cleaner, BONA does the job in one application without rinsing.

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.

I am not familiar with Quick Step Quick Clean, but I know that this product is amazing. My brother used Bona and it left a residue on his floor, but this product is AMAZING. Worth every penny.

Bona has a different cleaner that is for laminate floors. I think I would get that instead.

I did it on hands & knees. My floors are never really dirty as I wipe them up every other day (by hand). I experimented with several different ways to apply the Bona. I treated it as a liquid wax not as a soap so I applied it to a "clean" floor. I only did 1/2 of the floor so I was able to compare. The haze seemed to be less intense after 2 hours however, the untreated floor is shinier than the Bona treated side.

I do not know if other cleaning pads would work on the Bona mop but the Bona brand pads work beautifully, are durable, and worth the investment.

I haven't had any issues with the scraper. I use it after I have put the cleaner on to remove any "baked on" particles. I think the key may be to not use it on a DRY surface. The scraper is a razor blade so I would use it with a light hand and caution. If you can remove the "baked on" particles with the scrubbing pad, there isn't a reason to use the scraper.
