I have both hardwood and tile floors.Is it really necessary to purchase 2 separate Bona mops or can you use the same mop with the appropriate cleaner?

The mop itself is able to be used. They have separate cleaners recommended for both but I don not see an issue with using one cleaner if you do not wish to order both.

I see no reason why you can't use the Bona mop with the appropriate cleaner. The Bona mop uses a terry pad that sticks by velcro. Nothing magic in the mop itself

the same pad I use for the floors. Actuality I have multiple pads. Use one for the floors, another for windows, etc.I wash the bathroom walls - tile, all the time. This is the best mop that I ever had. Actuality it was my husband that purchased the mop and he NEVER buys anything that does not make sense to him and this did. The mop is flexible and slim - it gets everywhere and under everithing

Yes you do need to add water to the product. I have had my HARDWOOD floors for about 10 years now and have always used water on them. The only thing you have to be extremely careful with is that you really really get the excess water out of your mop. Where did you find this cleaner? I haven't found it for a few years now and have started using Murphy's Oil Soap which has been around for years and pretty much the same thing as the Martha Stewart product. I really did like this product a lot but she discontinued it! :(

I don't have hardwood floors. However, I do use it on my tiles and it cleans very well. This is the best vacuum I have ever purchase. It's light-weight but works like a heavy duty cleaner. I hope I was able to help.

Or try Bona, my favorite. Bona's microfiber cleaning pads may also fit the mop and they last forever. Have washed mine about 50 times/yr over the over the last 5 years (= about 250 times), still work like new. I left Swiffer in the dust a looong time ago. Way too expensive in the long run.

NO.........however you have to use proper mopping methods...like moping the dirt up, then having clean water and mop to go over the floor once again. If the floor is not too dirty the same water will work. I bought an extra mop head when I got my mop. I mop with one head (when the floor is tracked with dirt or mud)and them rinse with the second head and afterwards put both in the washing machine. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do.

Depends on how dirty your floor is - I do tend to rinse and reuse. If it is a room I mop a lot, not big, or doesn't have much foot traffic, I don't need to rinse.

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.

Do you have hardwood flooring our laminate flooring? The Bona hardwood cleaner can be used on laminate but, the Bona laminate cleaner can't be used on hardwood. I just spray the cleaner on the floor or on the pad itself.

I bought the ready to use kind of Bona. I just poured it into a applicator bottle that came with my Rubber Maid mop and applicators. I works great. Even lightened the grout. I love it.

In the past I used both a Roomba and a Scooba in my tiled family room and kitchen. But running roomba most days reduces the need to mop. I find that using a microfiber mop after roomba is no more work than maintaining the scooba. Roomba and microfiber mops and dusters are a great combination. Microfibers weakness as a floor cleaning system is handling larger debris. Otherwise microfiber is very fast and easy.

According to the very reputible person who owns the company that installed our hardwood floors, definitely NOT. The beauty of the Bona is there is nothing in it that will change the finish of the floors. Bona is a strong enough cleaner on its own.

I read that too before I purchased it and was a little leary, but I haven't any proablems. I have all hardwood floors and this mop spins out so dry that I can damp mop alot more often. I feel like the floors are much cleaner than just vacuuming. The mop heads rinse out so well I've not had to replace the first one.

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!

All of the consumer Bona mops, this does not include the commercial versions. (I believe those are longer.)

You can order the Bona Microfiber Floor Mop from Amazon. It comes with the microfiber cleaning pad and the dust pad. They work very well. The handle is telescoping, and it is stronger than a different non-telescoping Bona mop handle that can also be bought. Alternatively, there are other mop handles that have the velcro type attachment which is what you need to hold the microfiber applicator to the mop.

Sorry, I don't. If you're thinking of the disinfecting properties, I follow the instructions to use shorter, slightly slower strokes on tile. (I wouldn't do that on wood.) I have two indoor/outdoor dogs and though I'm concerned about disinfecting, I wouldn't rely totally on a steam mop to do the job. Mine does a good job cleaning, but I also occasionally use a disinfecting spray/cleaner on tile. (I don't have young children to worry about the wood floors.) Hope this helps.
