I'm not convinced
I have hardwood on all my floors including the kitchen. I have always used a very dilute white vinegar/water solution wrung out very well-- just barely damp. My floors were always beautiful. A house cleaning company convinced me to use Bona for hardwood floors-- what a mistake! In the kitchen area the dirt and grease was being spread around but not actually cleaned up, and the floor looked like it was a century old. The rest of the floors also began to look dull with a film on them. I tried the refinishing polish Bona sells to fix it. What a disaster that was-- this product is like a floor wax, which does not go well over a poly floor. After 24hours it was still tacky and also turned white, with streaks everywhere. It took me 10 hours on my hands and knees with Krud Kutter and amonia, a plastic scraper, a box of 200 paper rags and a laundry load of towels to get that crap off my floors. At least then I was back to the dull finish, but that shows every foot print and water spot. I went back to my white vinegar/water and with three moppings today, followed by a microfiber mop buffing the floor while it was still wet and it now appears less dull and is looking pretty good. I am hoping that over time this dull finish will come off completely. While I was mopping with the vinegar and water I noticed immediately a "slime" of Bona and the water was gray. My advice-- stay away from this stuff if you don't know what kind of finish is on your floor and if it is compatible-- I have an engineered wood floor (ash) with a poly finish. Try a small area first and be patient-- the film doesn't show up after the first or second use and is very difficult to get that stuff off the floor.
