Bona's cleaning range is split by finish type — lacquered, oiled, sports and hard floors each need something different — plus maintenance coatings and application pads to go with them.
Everyday Cleaners by Finish Type
Bona Wood Floor Cleaner is a pH-neutral, ready-to-use spray for lacquered and laminate floors, with a "non-smear" formulation that avoids leaving sticky residue behind — also available as a 4L refill. Bona Soap (formerly Carls Cleaner) does the equivalent job for oiled floors — a low-pH cleaner that nourishes the wood and improves water repellency with regular use, diluted before application. Bona Tile and Laminate Floor Cleaner covers hard floor surfaces separately from the wood-specific range.
Cleaning Products for Sports Floors
Two products are built specifically for finished wooden sports floors, not sports equipment. Bona SuperSport Cleaner is a concentrated, slightly alkaline detergent for frequent, routine cleaning. Bona SuperSport Deep Clean is a stronger, occasional-use degreaser that removes built-up body fats from sweat and other contaminants, restoring slip resistance on floors that have become slippery, and can also lift scuff marks and certain types of handball glue.
Maintenance Coatings and Refreshers
Bona Freshen Up is a waterborne maintenance coating for finished wooden floors, protecting the wear layer and restoring shine to a dulling lacquered floor without a full recoat. For oiled floors specifically, Bona Wax Oil Refresher (low solvent, low odour) suits floors treated with Bona Hard Wax Oil or Craft Oil, while Bona Oiled Wood Floor Refresher is a simpler, ready-to-use option that restores sheen with minimal application effort. Bona Polish Remover strips built-up Freshen Up or other polish products, and can also be used to address a floor that's become slippery.
Application Pads
Three pads support the cleaning system: the Dusting Pad picks up dust and hair dry, before wet cleaning begins; the Floor Cleaning Pad handles the wet cleaning stage itself; and the Refresher Applicator Pad is specifically for applying Bona Wood Floor Refresher. All attach to the Bona Wood Floor Mop.
Common Questions About Bona Cleaners and Polishers
Is Bona SuperSport Cleaner for sports equipment or sports floors?
It's for finished wooden sports floors, not equipment — used for routine cleaning, with SuperSport Deep Clean available for occasional, more intensive cleaning.
Should I use Bona Wood Floor Cleaner or Bona Soap on my floor?
Wood Floor Cleaner suits lacquered and laminate floors. Bona Soap is specifically for oiled floors, using a low pH that won't strip the oil out over time.
What's the difference between Wax Oil Refresher and Oiled Wood Floor Refresher?
Wax Oil Refresher is matched to Bona Hard Wax Oil or Craft Oil floors specifically. Oiled Wood Floor Refresher is a simpler, ready-to-use option for restoring sheen with minimal effort.
In what order should I use the Dusting Pad and Floor Cleaning Pad?
Dry first with the Dusting Pad to lift grit and hair, then wet clean with the Floor Cleaning Pad — cleaning wet first can grind dust into the finish.
