is the finisher safe for pre finished wood floors

I believe this is only safe for finished floors. I would call a woodshop to see what you could use to clean your wood before finishing. Once you have finished your floor, I would recommend Bona to clean it. Good luck.

I have Bellawood Pre-finished Hardwood and this works great on these floors! It is best not to move anything back onto the floor or walk on it for apx 20 minutes after you've finished; let the floor dry completely. You will love the shine!

Yes, I use it all the time on my pre finished floors thru out my house. No streaking like the wet swifer.

Yes it is. It says it is okay to use on hardwood, laminate, tile, marble, bamboo, vinyl and other sealed floors.

I am not 100% but I would have to say no.I would follow the advice from the can as to what they suggest.Or ask a wood floor refinisher.

i suppose if you are careful.....am assuming you are talking about an under layment wood surface, not any flooring, e.g. pine, oak, etc. I would use a sander instead.

If you have ground-in dirt in a finished wood floor, you may have damage to the finish. You could try, but the damage may not allow a full cleaning. This product is great for maintaining a good finish on polyurethaned wood floors.

It`s not ment for bare wood. It reacts with the original finish and brings back the shine. It works well if and old finish is still there

Just used the maple pine and left on a few mins. did section by section directions say wipe on and off and that is probably better as the floor is a bit darker HOWEVER. The floor was wretched with loss of finish in several places. It is now totally acceptable. After drying, used paste wax and then buffed. The floor is a save. We are selling the house and this saved refinishing

I am assuming this question is referring to "finished" hardwood floors. Yes you can but ofcourse please correct me if I am wrong as everyone here is saying no. The product specifically states on the box it can be used on "finished" wood floors and laminates. The instructions say do not use on "highly worn or unfinished" floors. In addition, this product is the pad not the solution as some of these comments seem to be referring to. If Proctor and Gamble makes a specific solution for wood flooring, which they do, it does not mean all other swiffer solutions cannot be used for wood floors. Part of it is a marketing tool. I hope this helps and makes others look into this answer a little further. I am assuming this question is referring to "finished" hardwood floors.

I used it on polyurethane finish hardwood floors. Love it, bring out the beauty again. I have dogs and they bring in sand which was taking the finish off where they laid down. I only use it about every other month and it lasts a long time. Highly recommend.

The green pad will strip the finish off your hardwood floor. It is very coarse and I used it to scrub my concrete floor in the basement after a flood. The least abrasive pad available on Amazon is the white one, but even that may be too rough. There is also a terrycloth "bonnet" that is used for polishing floors. I would try that with a non-abrasive solvent to avoid damaging the finish. Can you find out from the builder what the stuff is on the floor and Google how to remove it safely? Best of luck!

Yes, it worked well on my pre-finished 3/4 inch oak flooring. I only had one jam when I did not hit it squarely. If you hit it firmly and squarely it works very well. A little practice will help to get it down. I used the 2 inch L head nails. I had to elevate the air pressure to some over 100 - then it worked very well.

It has worked great on my hardwoods without damaging the finish. Smells good too!

You can use it safely on old floors. Minwax is excellent for cleaning the wood, it does not add shine. It works perfectly on unfinished wood without discoloring. But it won't blend the compromised parts back in with the finished areas.

I never knew exactly what wood was used in the floors but felt safe in using Bona. The following link I picked up from the bamboo flooring site. http://www.calibamboo.com/cleaning-bamboo-flooring.html I hope this is great help for you. Happy polishing!!!

Yes. We used it on our wood floors and there wasn't a scratch on the floors anywhere when we were done.

I have had no issues. But it all depends on the condition of your floors. If they are well sealed, you should have no issues. I just try not to use heavy steam. Also, if you are using vinegar, that can be an issue in the long term as the acidity can "eat" away at the finish.

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