What you show here is the Bona Hardwood Refresher, which says in the description: "Refreshes Appearance Of All Unwaxed Floors, Non-Toxic Waterbased Urethane Formula Is Recoatable & Leaves No Build-Up". You need to use Boba Hardwoood Cleaner first, then use the Refesher. Instructions read: "Do not use is floor is waxed, oiled or polished with acrylic polishes." Refresher CANNOT be applied to floor AFTER Bona Hardwood Floor Polish has been used as it will cause a hazy, streaky appearance. I have used this product, twice a year on my hardwood and it shines it up great and works nice, but we have never polished the floor, but had Traffic applied when it was installed after it was stained

I never try vinegar & murphy oil. Bona works for me my floors look like brand new. I clean them once a week with Bona & dust them every other day.

Yes, you can. I've used it on cherry, oak, mahogany and maple - any kind of wood surface. It will restore the luster to them.

Bona does make a floor cleaner for laminate floors. I have seen it advertised but had no need to try it.

No I never used a power brush . I can tell u this it took bona off but not entirely. Bona ruined my I year old cherrywood floor . I had done a spot test and it looked good . Did not realize when u walk on it yor foot prints , shoe prints and everything stay on the floor. My floor has never been the same . Hate bona. I guess that's why they have the remover

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.

Laura I would be afraid to use them on your finish. I have wood floors that are not prefinished. They are more for cleaning than removing scratches. I don't really know but they might damage the finish.

The method I use is to spray a small pf Bona on the floor with a spray bottle then I use the mop sometimes I must go over it again if the mark it hard to get up. They even make a mop that has a spray accessory on it. This process works fine for me and I get the results I expect. I bought my first Bona from a floor dealer who told me that using other products could damage the floor or cause a build up. The bottom line is I am very pleased with the product I have been using it for several years.

I went on the SC Johnson flooring site (makes Pledge products) & it recommends the use of Pledge Multi-Purpose Floor Shine for laminate floors. Here is the link to their website floor products. [http://www.floorcareproducts.com/index.asp] I'm 62 & I've seen a lot of floor finish products in my life & I am not Susie Homemaker by any stretch. I've always liked Future & Klear ( it never yellows - another SC Johnson product - alas, no longer produced) & it makes for great looking floors that are much easier to keep clean & good looking even with children & lots of Irish Setters (big water dogs, big feet, lots of fur & love to share dirt & water with you in the house). I would do my floors every six months when in my homemaking stage & less frequently when not. Future makes them glow/shine & the coverage lasts & lasts for a really long time.

Bona is made especially for hard wood floors. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt tile floors but I think it's a more expensive way to clean tile floors. I would use either swifter wet mop for the tile or there is a Magic Eraser mops that you use without any detergent. Or you can use just a sponge mop with something like Spic and Span or Mr. Clean. Hope that helps.

Works great on hardwood floors. We have Bruce flooring, glossy finish. No scratches.

There is no finish on the wood. If I were to use this in a moist environment, I would treat it first.

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 : ).

My floor is oak and it never has scatched. If you walk on it I don't see how this could hurt it. But to be on the SAFE side I would check with someone who does flooring. Its a great little machine and very light. Hope it works for you.

Swifter can make your wood floor shine on their own. However, one can also spray Bona and get a shinier result.

No, you would have to remove the rugs or use barriers around them. Also, your hardwood floors should be sealed if you want to use Scooba on them.
