Is "rinsing" required to remove residual "film" on indoor floor surface? Can't hose it off [ & am too old to keep bending down for repeated wiping.]

Instructions say spray on and wipe off with a clean damp cloth or sponge or rinse with clean water.

Yes it does leave a film...i don't use it on indoor floors...but it is great on garage floors!

I would use warm water or maybe some Woolite to clean the inside. That would be gentle enough. If you are referring to the outside, warm soapy water with a soft cloth should be ok

No..you are laying down the cleaning solution and then just sucking it up. You may want to go back later anddo a complete rinse if you think it is necessary.

Depends on how dirty your floor is - I do tend to rinse and reuse. If it is a room I mop a lot, not big, or doesn't have much foot traffic, I don't need to rinse.

i guess you have really dry floors maybe paint or other hard to remove staims. i would suggest a professional look at floor and suggest whether nor not your preparation would work.

I am a retired pro. Had a custom lab, if you are referring to 35, wet your hand and pass the film through two fingers in between knuckles. A wipe can scratch too easy i think. Of course there is more to say than i can type here. Good luck.

I just use a lightly damp cloth and wipe it down. It's a pretty tough little thing.

I have. I used Pledge floor cleaner but alternate with water. I believe the issue the manufacturer states with using "soaps" is that it may clog the wick which takes the fluid from the liquid chambers to wet the cleaning cloth. I would just be careful not to use something concentrated or too thick and rinse between cleanings. Hope this helps!

YES same thing with me. I thought the steam mop would work good,but left my floors looking like there is a film all over. I've tried to use vintage water and tea water,and floor wax, it still has it,so I think the steam mop ruined my floor. My husband is very upset to.He spent many hours refinishing that floor.I'm still looking for a solution and if I find one I will repost.

So far scraping or just letting it wear off has been most effective, but not very efficient. If you scrape, use a plastic putty knife. I suspect their own floor CLEANING products will also do the job.

First of all. I bought a spare mat. So I can wash and dry one, while the other is in use. I put old newspapers in the tray to help absorb most of the moisture. Daily, hose the mat throughly first. then a little soap a little scrub and a second hose rinse. Finally, mist with chlorine based kitchen/bathroom cleaner. let it dry all night.I strongly advice to be sure theres are no traces of urine, before using the chlorine, as very harmful vapors may emanate if those two mixes.Keep in mind that we live in a small apartment, so the shower is the place for the mat cleaning.

Clean as best as you can while wet and the rest will have to wear off. There might be a chemical solution bit it could ruin your carpet.

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

It is a lot of work to remove old hard water/soap scum residue. It is almost impervious to hot water, and most chemicals (except very harsh acids) because, it's like plastic once its layered on for a long time. One suggestion I got that really worked on ceramic wall tile (I was cleaning up a dirty rental apt), which not involve burning my lungs with acid vapor in a confined shower space, was to simply physically remove the scum with a razor blade paint scraper. It's the ones people use to remove stickers from windows, etc. You can buy them at hardware stores or dollar stores. (Always be careful and remember where your fingers are while working with a razor!). Firmly and steadily shave/scrape down then across the surface of the dry tiles and you will see many layers of soap scum residue come cascading off (like a powder). You can rinse it all down the drain if you like. Then use the steamer to finish off the remaining residue, then maybe use windex to remove all traces of residue. Voila! The next scheduled cleaning with the steamer should be much faster and easier . Tip: After the tile is all squeeky clean and looks as new, try rubbing it with some Turtle Wax to inhibit build-up till the next regular cleaning.

That is a great question Jason, you may want to check with your rug manufacturer for their recommended cleaning method.

Yes, simply unplug it, take off the hangers and remove. My cleanup consists of using spray on 409 cleaner and letting it soak a few minutes then it wipes clean and I rinse it.
