How does this compare with Bona Pro Hardwood Floor cleaner? Can you switch to this product if you have been using Bona?

Have not used Bona Pro. PolyCare seemed to work better than the last product I bought at a local store. That said, have not found the perfect product yet. They all seem to leave cloudy residue on the floor. Some more than others. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

I like the Poly Care much better than Bona. I felt a film on the floors after using Bona and had to dry wipe the floors to get rid of it. Yes you can switch.

I have only used Bona once and was not that impressed. I ended up giving the rest of my bottle away. I tried it because I purchased the system with the pads and all. I felt like it left a bit of a residue and my floors did not feel as clean as when I used the Polycare. With the Polycare, I never need to rinse so it's a one step process and I love the way my floors smell and feel afterwards.

Sorry - I never used Bona Pro so I can't compare the two. I did start using Poly Care after using other cleaners such as Murphys and Liquid Gold and didn't notice any problem. Poly Care left less film and the floors were not as slippery as they were when I used other cleaners. Hope that helps.

Have the same problem. I am thinking it may be the bruce floor cleaner. I changed to bona, and not quite as streaked.

The only thing I've found is regular cleaning with Bona Floor Cleaner, and a new coat of clear varnish. Sorry :(

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.

As near as I can tell, they are the same product. I used to be able to get this at my local hardware store. Then, found it was only available to 'professional' contractors. This may stem from a problem with the product clouding if not applied correctly. That is how I ended up ordering it through Amazon. I use it in the same manner. Word of warning. If you do choose to apply a second coat, wait longer between coats. That was my downfall. Even though the label clearly states 2 hours, don't do it. Wait 4 at least. Or better still, be happy with one coat. That has worked well for me in the past. Hope this has helped. Love the Bona product. It really freshens up my old Pergo floor.

It is similar but the mop part is bigger and the material is a thicker cloth. I actually vacuum or use the dry Swiffer prior to mopping with the Bona just to get up all of the loose debris. Then you just spray the Bona on the floor and mop away!

I have not used the Bona cleaning liquid. However, I have used the flip mop many times and love it. Had it over a year and used it many times with no problems at all.

We use ours damp with the Bona hardwood floor spray and it does a great job and does not drag.

I use this only on my hardwood floors and it is great. If my floors are dirtier than usual, I add a little more polycare than the label calls for, and it always gives the floor a great shine. My hardwood installer recommended this many, many years ago and it is all I ever use. You can also buy this in a small version first to see if you like it.

Bona is for maintaining hardwood floors that are more or less in ok condition. BonaKemi is meant to help repair damaged wood floors.

The floor is slippery right after you apply the cleaner and wipe but dry's quickly. And is not slippery like other floor cleaners. Love it for quick clean of floors. Also you don't have to use on just wood floors, I use it on all my floors... tile, wood, etc.

that's why I switched to a BonaKemi mop for my wood floors.... swiffer solution is going to streak your wood floors. Bona does not. Amazon sells the BonaKemi hardwood floor mop and refill for wood floors, it's great!

You would need to first vacuum up the cat hair. Then use the he Bona Motion Hardwood Floor Mop to get the floor clean when you spray on the Bona cleaner. I always vacuum my hardwood floors, then use the Bona Motion mop to spray and clean. It's a GREAT mop.

I personally like Bona over all the leading brands. No it doesn't leave it oily. The shine is only from the laminate or stone beneath it. I use it on my tile floors and the laminate. I won't use anything else. Had bad experiences with others.

Yes! Since Day 1. Kills my back. I emailed Bona and they said the old pads have been replaced with a better pad. Guess I'll try that. Didn't matter how much of the Bona spray I use. Also, the pad is bigger than the mop itself and continually rolls over making it worse.

I like it much better. I think it does a better job cleaning the floor including picking up dog hair. I used to change the Swiffer pad several times while dust mopping, with Big Wooly can do all my wood floors before shaking it. I can do the job quicker and better.
