Yep, we're rule-followers. ;) We have a sponge mop that we only use for this purpose. Works great!

Carey,We use the squirt top on the bottle so spray out the cleaner on a moderate sized patch of floor, then spread it with a damp sponge mop. We do a section at a time.

- I used a Swiffter it works fast & easy - This leaves a nice slip-free surface too

No, I don't have any problems with the pad sticking to the floor. I think you may need to apply more cleaning solution to the floor. The mop should glide and you should be able to wipe away sticky areas easily after soaking it first with the cleaning solution.

I use the E-Cloth Deep Clean Mop (with water only) on my travertine floors. It cleans them beautifully and is not harmful to them in any way since it only uses water! I also the same mop for my (sealed) hardwood floors and just use a spray bottle to dampen the mop (rather than saturating it with water, like I do for the travertine floors.)

My Pergo has a sealant on it so damp mopping mine is safe. I would try a small area in a closet brfore doing the whole floor.

I use a wet piece of cloth (or whatever you prefer) and attach it to the mop.

I do small sections at a time and pour it on the floor in a Z pattern and use a clean mop or a Swiffer dry cloth on the Swiffer wand. to spread it evenly on the floor :)

I see no reason why you can't use the Bona mop with the appropriate cleaner. The Bona mop uses a terry pad that sticks by velcro. Nothing magic in the mop itself

I apply it the old fashion way...rags. Because you are cleaning the floor and waxing at the same time, you need to have multiple rags handy. They will get very dirty. I go over some spots several times. You will know where that is needed as you apply One Step. I've been using One Step yearly for a very long time and get compliments on my hardwood floors all the time. Good luck!

Steam does not continue once trigger is released. It doesn't leave the floor soaked like mopping does. Steam cleans quickly and efficiently without much effort - less is more. You can saturate a floor area more than necessary, but the hot, damp floor pad will grab most of it. You figure out 'how much and how long' using trigger and cleaning settings very quickly depending on the surface and amount of dirt on your floor. Where water will just 'sit', steam evaporates quickly so drying time is not much of an issue. The directions are clear on how to use the steam mop properly, and I've had no problems. Hope this helps. :) Steam does not continue once trigger is released. It doesn't leave the floor soaked like mopping does. Steam cleans quickly and efficiently without much effort - less is more.

Any of the Bona cleaning pads will work. They are all the same. I used the "manual" push mop previously and use all the pads I bought for it with the Motion Mop.

Pour small amount directly on floor and spread with mop---not a heavy coating.

It's not a sponge mop. There are disposable cloths that you attach to it. I use microfiber cloths and push them around with the mop.

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!

I use a steam cleaner, but found that it is not appropriate for my wood floors. Use it on ceramic or tile, but for wood you only need to damp mop after using this product.

I don't remember the advice on the packaging, but I wouldn't take a chance using the pad on a nice Pergo-type floor. In all the years I've kept house, I've never found anything better than a traditional string mop and bucket for cleaning floors--even though it requires more effort. Sorry nothing easier or more efficient has been invented!

You use 1/4 c. soap in 1 gallon of warm water. I have never rinsed the floor afterward, but I do make sure that I get up all excess with a soft, dry towel or rag.

You are doing nothing wrong. All that mop and the Bona does is spread the dirt around. It does not "trap" dirt and remove it from the floor. If you keep using that you will have a sticky film on your floor that takes 20-30 moppings to get it off. Terrible stuff.
