Question 1

Bona high shine polish?

Accepted Answer

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...

Question 2

is it a gloss finish

Accepted Answer

Yes it is gloss and I thought after the first time that it might be slippery, but it is not.The floors look new!

Question 3

I used this product and it ruined my new engineered hardwood, how can i remove it safely without damaging my floors? Help! Thanks

Accepted Answer

I first tried this company's wood floor cleaner and liked the results, which lead me to try their polish.   I should have read reviews on the polish first.   Like you I did not like the result of the polish,   I called the manufacturer and they said I needed to reapply with a mop head designed for the polish.   I reapplied and looked better for awhile, but after a period of time it got worse and worse.    Finally had to order their polish removal product.   Funny how that product costs a lot more than their polish, and most places that sell the polish and cleaner, do not sell the polish remover.   it will soften the polish and lift it from the floor to removal with a mop and water, but it is by no means an easy task, it took me hours to do a 200 sq ft area.   Never again will I uses this product.   After reading numerous reviews that said they complained to the manufacturer about this product, I do not understand why they still sell it.   I do not rate all my amazon products, but felt I needed to tell other comsumers about this one.

Question 4

Can i use this on sealed natural stone flooring?

Accepted Answer

Bona Stone, Tile and Laminate Floor Polish is safe for your natural stone flooring, as long as your floor is sealed or finished, and unwaxed or unoiled. Surfaces should be sealed including the grout lines, unsealed stone or grout lines may cause staining.

Bona Floor Polishes’ urethane-acrylic blend evens out the floor's appearance, restores the shine and provides a durable wear layer for protection. Bona Polishes may also be used to fill in minor scratches and to even out the sheen of a floor. It is not recoatable with polyurethane finishes or Bona Refresher. Use every 2-4 months to keep floors looking their best. One bottle of the 32oz. Polish covers 500 sq. ft.

Always refer to the instructions before using the Polish and be sure to do a test area before coating the entire floor.  It is important to apply the polish using the Applicator Pad on the bottom of your Bona Mop. If you are having trouble finding the Bona Applicator Pad, you can also use a new dedicated Bona Microfiber Cleaning Pad. You will want to keep the pad damp with Polish to help reduce streaking.

•	Attach a dedicated blue Bona Microfiber Cleaning Pad to the bottom of your Bona Mop.

•	It is very important to measure your floor before applying the polish. 
•	Do a small TEST AREA first before applying the Polish throughout your floor. 
•	One bottle of the 32oz. Polish only covers 500 sq. ft., 24oz. Polish only covers 350 sq. ft. 
o	If you have a 10x12 foot room - you will use about a 1/4 of the 32oz. bottle.
•	Start in a small manageable area and squirt the polish from the bottle directly onto the floor.
•	Spread the polish going with the grain using a dedicated blue Bona Microfiber Cleaning Pad on the bottom of your Bona Mop. You will want keep the pad damp with Polish to help reduce streaking.
•	After applying the polish- wash out your Microfiber Pad immediately to remove polish residue.
