I don't know if I am using this mop correctly. I have to use SO MUCH PRESSURE to end up with dirt in my microfiber when I rinse it. What is wrong?

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.

Yes. Depending on what type of top finish is on your floor you may get a "film" that is duller than the factory finish. I used this product for a year and that film got worse and worse until I finally had to start using a product called Krud Cutter diluted in water and washed the floor on my hands and knees a couple of times with disposable rags. The dirt that came up was unbelievable. I had to change the water 7-8 times. I am back to my good old vinegar and water with a microfiber string mop, followed by a microfiber flat mop to removed water marks and dry the floor. My floors are beautiful again. Yes.

One does not need a lot of pressure,just cover the floor evenly with a little extra swipe on traffic areas.Do your floor regularly and there should be no problem

I had that problem when I first started using Bona but then found that I wasn't wetting the mop sufficiently before I started. In addition to lightly spraying the floor, you need to make sure the mop itself is well wetted, and then it glides easily over the floor.

I use the Bona Hardwood mop motion to apply. Just spray and mop. You don't need to use pressure. I mop the floors every other week so there is not much dirt build up. Don't use like you would do with water. Spray once then mop, spray again then mop.

its takes allot of elbow grease to clean my kitchen floor with this mop, and after a little while the surface is covered with dirt. I get about 5 cleaning sessions out of it before needing to replace eraser pad and that is pushing it

Mine didn't either. The threads don't match but are tight enough that it seems to hold. I have given up on this kind of mop because it was too much trouble. I have one mop head left, so I figured I got my money's worth out of the pack of 6.

No that is not normal. I can see and feel the steam coming out of my mop. Make sure you have plent of water in the holder, plug it in and wait until you can see the steam coming out. You may need to hit it gently on the floor if there is no steam after maybe 10 minutes. If none of this works, you may have a defective mop. Mine steams lots! Gay

The microfiber part of the mop is a "sock" type cover. You slip it on the base and secure the ends with the Velcro tabs sewn on the inside edge of the cover. When you need to clean just undo the Velcro and slip the "sock" off the base. When you wash the microfiber "sock" close the Velcro tabs and toss in the wash. Do not use fabric softener with any microfiber product. This product is wonderful on our new hardwood floors. Its all I use.

Hi there, I love norwex! It's easy to use. Just wet it down with hot water, wring it out and wipe the floor. Let it dry. You might need to put some elbow grease into it at first to get the grime up, but once the floors are done subsequent mops will be easy. Remember not to use cleaning products, the silver in the microfiber is antibacterial. Will kill germs! Enjoy!

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.

Hi there, No that is not normal which is why I wrote a review and provide a less than stellar score. This mop does not pick up dust and hair the way that one would believe it should. I have used this mom wrt and dry; the same outcome.

Actually I have no idea about this question, mine has something wrong too right after we received the cleaner, I already returned the machine. Sorry about your cleaner, maybe u can ask the customer service to figure out what happened there. Good luck.

Someone in one of the comments on another review said "Unless you push the filter down thoroughly into the tank, it leaks. I had the same problem with wet floors until I went over the directions again and pushed the filter harder the second time. After that I had no problems and am completely happy with the mop." Hope this helps.

I am wondering the same question. This mop is horrible. After I step the foot pedal like 10 times, mop head is still dripping when I squeeze with my hands. It leaves streaks marks and floor takes forever to get dry.

Maybe not getting it rinsed out completely. Try using less with natural products you don't need much

Mine is sometimes hard to push. Holding the handle at a lower angle to push it helps. Putting a new cleaner clothe (or whatever they call it) on helps also. I don't find it a big problem. I guess I have strong arms. I like my mop. Hope this helps.

I feel your pain. I am handicapped and tried to sit to shake. I went on the deck and shook over the railing and dog hair and dust came back all over my face and clothes. Then I stood, reached over the deck railing, holding the mop head lower than me and shook. That worked okay. I love the mop but it takes a lot of shaking to get it to release the dust and hair. If you can lean out the window and hold the mop with the head lower than you it might work.

I never use the mop, but what a question.It is just a dry piece of cloth and you wet it to mop!Continuously wet mop will get moldy and harbor bacteria

I don't know. I did not have that problem. Some things to consider: Short in wire, the GFI isn't on. Perhaps calling customer service can help. I found that most helpful on issues relating to other items I had purchased through their website. The mop we have works like a charm. Good luck.

You need to remember that it is pushing anything on the floor around and not picking or sucking it up as a vacuum would. The microfiber cloth works well as a dust cloth and picks up some of the hair. I would suggest that you vacuum if you truly want your floor free of debris. I have found that the robot works best as a wet mop
