Frequently Asked Questions about Hardwood Floor Cleaning
We know you may have questions about cleaning hardwood flooring. That’s why we have gathered and answered a few of the most common questions we hear about our hardwood floor cleaners.
What is the Best Cleaner for Hardwood Floors?
For most finished hardwood floors, a pH-neutral hardwood floor cleaner provides the best balance of cleaning performance and finish protection.
Bona Pro Hardwood Floor Cleaner and Basic Coatings Squeaky Cleaner are two popular choices for removing everyday dirt, dust, and grime without leaving behind streaks or residue.
Always choose a cleaner that’s compatible with your floor’s finish and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
What Should You Use to Clean Hardwood Floors?
Start by sweeping or vacuuming to remove loose dirt and debris.
Then clean the floor with a hardwood floor cleaner and a microfiber mop or cleaning pad.
Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and excess water, which can damage the finish over time.
Can You Use a Steam Cleaner on Hardwood Floors?
Steam cleaners are not recommended for hardwood floors.
The heat and moisture can penetrate the wood and finish, increasing the risk of cupping, swelling, finish damage, and other moisture-related issues.
For routine maintenance, use a hardwood floor cleaner with a microfiber mop or cleaning pad instead.
How Often Should Hardwood Floors Be Cleaned?
Sweep or vacuum hardwood floors several times each week to remove dirt and grit that can scratch the finish.
Clean with a hardwood floor cleaner as needed based on foot traffic, pets, and daily use.
High-traffic areas typically require more frequent cleaning.
Why Do Hardwood Floors Look Dull After Cleaning?
Using the wrong cleaner, applying too much product, or allowing residue to build up can leave hardwood floors looking dull.
Cleaning with a hardwood floor cleaner designed for wood flooring helps maintain the floor’s natural appearance.
If routine cleaning no longer restores the finish, consider using a hardwood floor refresher or maintenance product.
Can You Use a Carpet Cleaner on Hardwood Floors?
Most carpet cleaners are not designed for hardwood flooring.
They often use excess water and cleaning solutions that can affect the wood or its finish.
For the best results, use products specifically made for hardwood floor cleaning.
How Do You Use Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner?
Sweep or vacuum the floor to remove loose dirt and debris.
Spray Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner directly onto the floor or onto a microfiber cleaning pad, then clean using smooth, overlapping passes.
Allow the floor to air dry—no rinsing is required.
Can You Use Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner on Laminate Floors?
Only use Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner on laminate flooring if the product label specifically states it is compatible with laminate.
Bona also offers cleaners formulated for stone, tile, laminate, and other hard surfaces, so always choose the cleaner designed for your flooring type.
What's the Difference Between a Hardwood Floor Cleaner, Hardwood Floor Refresher, and a Maintenance Oil?
Each product serves a different purpose. Hardwood floor cleaners remove everyday dirt, dust, and grime during routine maintenance.
Hardwood floor refreshers restore the appearance of worn finishes between recoating projects.
Maintenance oils nourish and protect compatible oil-finished hardwood floors by replenishing the protective oil layer and enhancing the wood’s natural appearance.
