Three Easy Steps to a beautifully maintained wood or laminate floor.
___________________________________________________________________________
Step 1
Vacuum or Sweep
Always vacuum or sweep to remove dirt
and grit prior to cleaning your floors with
the Bona Mop in the WoodFloorWipe
Brand Hardwood Floor Cleaning Kit.
Step 2
Spray
Lightly mist an 8'X8' area of your floor,
or directly mist the bona Mop terry cloth
cover with cleaner.
Step 3
Wipe
Using a back and forth motion, clean the
floor surface with your Bona Mop or clean,
soft cloth. Finish one area before moving
on to the next. The Bona Mop's low profile
and easy-to-maneuver swivel-head makes it
the perfect cleaning tool for the hard-to-reach
areas such as under furniture and cabinets,
around doors or in tight corners. When your
terry cloth cover or cloth becomes soiled,
replace with a clean one.
