How long would a floor stay polished for? Is moping a floor after polishing it recommended?

if you are going to polish a concrete floor this is not the tool for the job! you need torent a big floor wet grinder-then most importantly use a good urethane sealer!! then you can mop all you want.

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.

use "24 clean blast" with your machine, use "orange glo 4 in 1" to mop floors and bring back the shine once a month. use water or water and a capful of vinegar to mop as needed

Tiles can be spot cleaned with a damp sponge or soft cloth using a mild detergent. When needed, tiles can be moped using a mild household detergent and warm water. Be sure to rinse properly and allow to dry before using. Our EVA foam flooring is non-porous so flooring will not absorb liquids. It is not recommend to use an oil based cleaner since flooring will become slippery. Mats can be vacuumed using a standard household vacuum (w/o brush). It is recommended that you test an area of the mat with the vacuum to ensure no damage due to vacuum.

This is a glorified mop that DOES NOT clean the floor. After using this thing, I swore I would NEVER use a Sonicare tooth brush again. If it actually did clean the floor, you would change the pad as often as you would rinse out a mop - every 5 to 15 minutes. I suppose you can rinse it and reuse it, Meantime, think about it, as the old adage goes, if it is too good to be true, it probably isn't and this ISN'T.

If the floor is really, really bad mop first. Just normal cleaning the Oreck will do the job alone and leave a great shine. Mopping after would lessen the result. This product works. No buyer's remorse. We have two kids, two dogs, I have big feet and don't take my shoes/boots off in the house and we would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Normal household cleaning should last you a couple of weeks. For a sander, I would suggest a couple of days.

From 4 to 6 weeks. Some polish faster, others take longer. During each stage of polishing we go through each barrel after a 4-5 day period and select which rocks stay back in the barrel they came out of and which go on to the finer grit for polishing. If you take your time you can get some very beautiful rocks. We use two of the two barrel polishes so we have all 4 grades of grit going at once. Just keep moving them to the next level of polishing. After 5 weeks you should have a polished barrel of rocks each week.

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 Quick Shine Deep Cleaner on my tile floor only. I can only attest that, left on the floor for a good 15 minutes, the old wax and embedded dirt "melts" away. Good stuff! Now, on laminate floors, I have no idea. However, you can try it on a small part of the laminate floor that is usually not visible and make the test there to see if the wax is removed. Only thing, though, I use a lot of water with the Quick Shine Deep Cleaner and let it set on the floor. I understand laminate floors are unforgiving when a lot of water is applied, causing the floor to buckle. Try a small amount. Good luck! I use Quick Shine Deep Cleaner on my tile floor only.

The clear coating may be applied no sooner than 24 hours and no later than five days (for best results) after applying the floor coating. Whether you can apply the clear coating after 24 hours depends on how high the humidity was during the 24 hour period after applying the floor coating, as high humidity will slow down the drying of the floor coating. Clear coat is definitely the way to go!

It depends on how often you use the Floormate. The more you use it the sooner you will need to change it. Once a week or so and it should last 3 or 4 months. I just kind of look at it, and when the filter looks pretty dirty, I toss it and replace. Hope this helps.

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.

Whenever it is on, there is hot steam coming through the bottom, so it's probably not a good idea to let it sit in one spot on the floor for too long. I think the maximum time is 30 seconds (it gives the exact time in the instructions). To prevent any floor damage, I would lean it against something at an angle so the pad is not flat on the floor surface. Or unplug it, which turns it off. Good luck!

I just made the mistake of picking up "polish" rather than "cleaner". My floor is ruined. Fortunately, I had only done a section of floor. I am reading now what to do about it. Can't believe how many "mad" people there are who already ruined their floors---never again. Once they are fixed- think I will try the ammonia/water mix. Wish me luck-- Goodbye Bona!!!!!

Depends, this polisher uses pads and abrasives to polish by removing the surface material, oxidation and metal. I have used it to polish old brass and copper bathroom fixtures which I then coated with clear urethane to preserve the shine. If you are looking to get rid of build up without removing material from the surface this is not the answer. There are liquid products design to do that. Even a floor wax remover would work.

We have stained concrete floors and left it unplugged with the mop pad on after using it for about 15 minutes on high and it removed the stain. That being said, I would turn off and remove the pad when not using it.
