Bona Cleaning and Maintenance for Timber floors

A timber floor will last a lifetime... and longer... if it’s cared for properly

A timber floor is a serious investment and will last a lifetime – and longer – if it’s cared for properly. Just a few simple rules need to be followed if you want to keep it looking as good as new.

Dirt and grit walked in underfoot will scratch the surface, so a large doormat is always a good idea if people or pets walk straight on to the floor from outside. Try and make it large enough to capture two foot steps and keep it shaken and clean. Use protective pads under chair legs, lift furniture rather than dragging it and keep pet claws trimmed.

Bona White

A new way to colour floors

Staining timber floors white can be a frustrating process. White stains when used well can produce stunning results but they can be awkward to apply due to their high solids content and often the final appearance can have less depth of colour than expected.
