I only had the wood floors for about 2 years and they looked like they were over 10 years old. Finish was very dull and looked worn. I had someone come and refinish it for me and he told me that I was actually stripping the finish off when I was using the "wood floor cleaners" products that I would buy at the store. He recommended to me that I use the Bona-X and nothing else and I would see a big difference. It has been almost 5 years now and my floors still look like he just refinish them. You need to use the microfiber mop cover which they call it the micro-plus cover on the amazon. I'm sure if you go on the internet, you will find the mop to use this. I highly recommend this product. I got a spray bottle and just refill it that way as it is easier and lighter to carry and it doesn't take much to do your floors. Never leaves it dull anymore and it really does a great job cleaning dirt off. Amazon got a good price for this product.

If you take the time to talk to any professional Hardwood Floor people they will tell you NOT to use Murphy's oil soap or ANY soap of any kind on your hardwood. I have been using this product for years and it was suggested to me by the hardwood installers that installed my floors. Given they have nothing to gain by suggesting this product I didn't hesitate to try it. They are right. I buy it by the gallon and Amazon so far, has the best price. Don't hesitate to use this product if you want to maintain your hardwood properly and keep it looking great.

We have polyurethane finished hardwood floors in our kitchen, dining and living areas. We also have a 2 year old grandson and a dog in our house (need I say more). BonaKemi hardwood floor cleaner is fantastic for spot cleaning and for regular upkeep. It always makes the floors look like they were just professionally done, and it's so easy to use. Believe me I have tried many other products, including the most popular, but now I couldn't clean without my BonaKemi. It truly outshines all the rest!

The previous owner of our 2-year old house recommended Bona for our hardwood floors. I had never heard of this brand until she told me about it. In my old house I had always used the types of wood floor cleaners you get in grocery stores, such as Murphy's Oil, Orange Glo, etc. I always had to use a lot of elbow grease to get the stubborn dirt up using these products, and the finish ended up looking a little dull, too. If you've ever had a big dog, you'll know that dog drool is one of the hardest things to get off a surface. Bona is probably the best cleaner I've used so far for hardwoods and getting the spots of dried dog drool off that I missed when they were wet! It won't dull your floors and really does get the ground in dirt out with less toil. I use the spray bottle as well.

Excellent product. When I decided to remove my carpet and install wood flooring, I researched all types of wood flooring and the products. I installed solid wood myself and had a professional wood sanding guy come to sand and finish the floor. After the research, I insisted that the wood guy who would finish the floor had to use Bona Kemi Traffic for the floor. The wood guy told me he does not use anything else. I was VERY VERY pleased with the Bona Kemi product. When the finish got a little dull, I used the Bona X Floor Cleaner. It works GREAT!!! No residue, no bad smell. Just wiped it on and used a dry dust pad to wipe it. I think this product is more suited for solid wood floors instead of flooring that is pre-manufactured or laminated with a 1/8 inch shiny surface. This product actually penetrates the surface and brings out the shine. Because of this penetration, my floor has never been left slippery or with a weird "fog" or residue. If you have laminate flooring or pergo, Bona Kemi has another product for those. It is called Bona Hard Surface.

It does clean well, but it leaves a noticeable film after it dries. The only way to restore even a semi-sheen is to use the polish which involves removing furniture, and staying off from the area for at least 8 hours. Their commercials claim that the cleaner doesn't leave a film, and that's just not the case. I was very disappointed.

I just unpacked and tried this product. It cleaned the floor well but all the satin sheen of the verathane finish is gone!!! The floor now looks like a flat finish. I guess that's why they offer the re-finishing product. You have to buy that to get your floors back to their original finish.

We have been using the Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner on our floors for 3 years now and the floors still look like new, in spite of a good deal of use. The product is non-toxic which became even more important when our baby started crawling. The odor is not terribly strong which is a plus for me as many products I've used in the past (like Murphy's Oil) give me a headache after the floors have been cleaned with it. I highly recommend Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner if you are looking for a good quality, non-toxic product for your floors.

Along with the mop that goes with this cleaner your hardwood floors will look like new. I've lived in my house for 7 years and the former owner told me about using this on the hardwood floors. What a great piece of advice that was. This shipper is a bit slow, however.

This product was recommended by the floor installers and I have been using it for 3 years. When I was unable to find a retail store that stocked the cleaner, I ordered it from Amazon. It is much cheaper than what I was paying in the now closed store that I had been using.
