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!!!

I am sorry I don't know. We are away from home or I would go look at the container.

just use it as it is....don't mess around with it by diluting it with water or any other liquid! Use it sparingly....don't DROWN the floor with it and create a little "river". Just use it LIGHTLY.

the bona pad is a microfiber pad (as opposed to a terry cloth). It fits the mop perfectly and goes into the washing machine so it's practical. It usually comes with the mop but I have bought an extra pad (on line) because all my house is hardwood. I imagine you could use another pad i.e. it's not going to hurt the floor and it's not going to make the Bona not work but honestly the bona pad is so easy to use, clean and fits the mop perfectly that I would not think to use something else.

I don't really know about bamboo. We put in the regular wood flooring and it was fabulous!!! It worked like a charm. You might want to contact the company itself and ask them about bamboo.

I am sure about using the steam mop on bamboo flooring. I haved use on both laminent and hardwood floors and have had no problem.

Well is a special Bona for laminate flooring, and is excellent for remove shoes marks, and dirt. I really think is more expensive the Bona for wood, and I don't switch but I don't think is a problem if you want expend more money. The Bona products are so good I don't think you need use the steam mop. And I think is a bad idea use the Bona whit a Steam mop. Only to don't start an accident or make the life of the steam mop shorter. I use a steam mop in the past for wood, but really the Bona make a to much better work. My steam mop is in the trash.

What kind of spots? Shoes? Dirt?I really like this product and I have used it on many different types of floors and they all looked good. When my bottle starts to run low, I add a bit of water and for some reason... It works even better. And to answer your question... Yes! It does a good job on bamboo floors. What I do is I put the product in a spray bottle. I go around spraying the floors (it starts softening the dirt and grime) and then I use a damp bona pad. It never fails.

As I use it for engineered flooring, I can say "yes". Although I have NOT used it for bamboo, I'm sure it will fine!

I've used it on my bamboo floor for a while and generally it works. There are some spots that were a bit tough to get up but leaving it on a bit longer and scrubbing a bit harder did the trick.

Yes - it is actually recommended for bamboo floors according to the company that installed mine. http://www.calibamboo.com/cleaning-bamboo-flooring.html

I bought a house that had hard woods and wasn't sure what to use. After googling I tried Bona. It was good for a while but I noticed that they floors were becoming cloudy. I purchased a steam They are still cloudy and now streaked! After surfing the web I decided to try Windex. I have been wiping for hours but it works!!! I am using a brand new micro cloth that I am positive has never been exposed to fabric softener and good ole elbow grease. The Windex has removed the cloudy residue and does not harm my high gloss floor. I am returning the steam mop and the new bottle on Bona that I bought yesterday and buying a Windex refill!

I used Bona hardwood cleaner, Bona applicator/mop w/ spray including their microfiber pads, and LOW-gloss polish on 3 floors of a townhouse with teak parguet finished with oil and wax. Bona instructions say not for natural finish however I was desperate... floor was dirty and stained with scratches from moving furniture. The mop/applicator with spray is great and makes cleaning and waxing easy. Hardest part was masking the top of base to keep the walls clean. While the parquet was new in 1975, the house is old and floors are not perfectly flat - so a high-gloss wax finish would show every imperfection. I found the low gloss sheen perfect and exactly what I wanted. How did the floors turn out?? Twice as good as I had hoped. The Bona cleaner and wax system resurrected the finish amazingly well and I am totally satisfied... and I am an architect. Since then I had hoped to have a similar result on an old oak floor with practically no finish left, a lot of bare wood - it may have had a natural finish that had no maintenance - unfortunately Bona did nothing - I had to rent a floor sander and applied a light stain and polyurethane with the Bona mop/applicator with an excellent result. I have nothing but praise for Bona, and I have to confess that I did not watch the DVD that came with the product... maybe next job...

Yes it works great on my natural cherry hardwood. However use the pad or hold off floor for the 15-20 seconds it takes to heat. It does a wonderful job. I have tried and still use Bona also but like this better I either sweep or vacume be fore I use it. I have a lot of wood floors and a dog so I like to pick up as much as possible. I used it last night after my husband dropped a container of yogurt which splattered all over my kitchen!

Absolutely it will work! You can fiddle with the pressure from the compressor to lighten the blow mentioned by Eric in his answer. For bamboo, I personally use a MIIIfc (cleater) for bamboo and prefinished flooring. The foot should be used to keep from damaging prefinished floor by having a slightly off side to side angle.

I would think so. Mine did great using staples on 3/4 in 3-4 & 5 in cherry and locust (very hard wood). I am not familiar with bamboo but the only problem I see is if it is very soft or very brittle then the MIIIFS may be a little too much tool. Since bamboo is used for flooring I bet you will be just fine! MIIIFS is a great tool!

I love bona polish I use it on my Real Hardwoods and pergo laminate wood. and less expensive ikea wood laminate the only warning-- never spill any Clorox or rubbing alcohol on the bona finished floors -- it turns white milky color even that is easily fixed by wiping spill with water and reapplying bona polish. it's the ONLY product I can fine that puts a nice clean shine on all my wood and laminate wood floors hope that helps : ).

You need a spray bottle and a microfiber type of cleaning pad mop -- we use the Bona Kemi Usa WM710013358 Micro Plus Stone Hardwood Cleaner Kit. We spray the Bona lightly on the floor and then use the microfiber padded mop to clean it away, Very easy!
