Makes cleaning the floors so much easier!

Mop handle is sturdy and holds up when decent pressure is applied while mopping. I have indoor dogs and sometimes removing paw prints takes some muscle. I've bent Swiffer mop handles and if you have pets you can understand:)
Pads:
-Wet use: I love the wide microfiber mop pads; they clean more surface area than the standard mop head so it reduces time spent cleaning. The kit comes with two microfiber pads. I used one for mopping and the other to apply polish. I didn't want to use interchangeably. For mopping I purchased another pad so I can switch them out while cleaning. The pads wash well and have help up to much abuse.
-Dry use: The dry mop pad is now my favorite that I've ever used. It is light and holds dirt and dog hair until cleaned off. The pad cleans off well between mops and also washes up/dries fast.
Solutions:
-Floor cleaner has a subtle, pleasant smell. It dries without spots or smears.
-The polish went on easy but smudged on areas that were overlapped. It was beautiful"¦until my dogs walked across it. I don't know why but every paw mark showed and they didn't mop off. I ended up removing the polish, nightmare, and just use the cleaner. It did not show human foot prints so if I didn't have pets it would receive rave reviews because it made my floors shine like they were brand new.

All I can say is, WOW. We were struggling with keeping my new bamboo floors clean, especially since they were dark--every fleck of dirt, every streak...just, EVERYTHING showed. And the fact that these floors were in my kitchen meant that we were constantly dripping or dropping things onto this new floor. We tried regular mopping with Murphy's Oil Soap floor cleaner...it streaked. And I hated using water for fear of it getting between the floorboards. We settled on the Swiffer Wet Jet, which worked nicely at first, but after it dried, it streaked also. The Bona does none of the above. It doesn't use water, and it does indeed make the floor look gorgeous.

Couple of things:

Firstly, comments previously made about it not doing so well on stains is true. If you have big stains or globs to clean up, do a general cleaning first with a regular mop, or get on your hands and knees and get them with a non-scratch scrubby. Once the floor is smooth, then run it once with the Bona. It comes out perfectly. It's amazing!

Secondly, I highly recommend the Bona duster and Microfiber cleaning pad for this job. They DO make a difference. I initially tried continuing to use my swiffer and swiffer cloths with the Bona spray, but it was not as effective. I even tried to jury-rig the Bona cloths onto the Swiffer, and it was SO not a good fit that I finally caved and got the Bona mop. The Bona mop unit is basically a giant strip of velcro across the bottom, so all you have to do is slap a duster or cleaning pad onto it, making it extremely easy and time-saving to use and to switch between cleaning pad and duster. In addition, the Velcro holds extremely well. Highly recommended!!!

UPDATE 6/17/13: I still highly recommend the Bona cleaning pad and dusting pad, but have found the Bona pole to be flimsy (as others have also reported). I have found a couple of better poles. Both come with a similar type of wide velcro system to fasten the pads to, but the pole is much sturdier. Both also have refillable bottles to put any solution in that you like, so the Bona could go in there (although I've read on both that the solution clogs easily and should be cleaned out each time...sounds like too much hassle to do that...might be better just to leave the solution in the original Bona sprayer!). The first pole I found is the O'Cedar Pro Mist, which I found at Target. The other, the Rubbermaid Reveal, I found online at Target.com.

UPDATE 6/3/18: Still in love with Bona, but found the BEST pole out there. The issue with the O'Cedar and the Rubbermaid is that they DO come with the reservoir that I don't recommend using, for clogging reasons, and they nevertheless add noteworthy weight to the pole. I found THE perfect pole at an Asian market (HMart"”there's probably one near you!) that is styled like the original Bona pole, but is MUCH sturdier. Still has the Velcro strips st the bottom. It's PERFECT. And it was cheap too, at about $10. See photo attached.

This works very well on wood and tile floors. It's nice to have the option of dry/dust mopping and wet mopping for cleaning.

I swear by this! We will use nothing else! Worth every penny.
