Our rich history:
The difference goes back to our roots
Bona’s heritage has shaped who we are today. What started in 1919 as a small family-owned grocery store in Malmö, Sweden –– that also made a protective polishing agent for wood floors called, “bonvax” –– has grown into a multinational company with a presence in over 90 countries.

BONA DIFFERENCE - EFFICACY
The difference in experience
A lot of knowledge is gained from over 100 years of study and product development. Our floor cleaners, polishes, mops, and pads all work together in harmony to bring you ultimate efficacy – The Bona System™. At Bona, we have deeply studied each surface and have tested all of our products rigorously, time and time again. We’ve learned that as things change over time, we can continue to make our products even better. Really, that’s the goal. This is The Bona Difference.
BONA DIFFERENCE - SUSTAINABILITY
More than clean
Sustainability has been part of who we are for more than 100 years. We've come a long way, yet we still have work to do. From our use of plant-derived ingredients to our careful use of natural resources to our 30% post consumer recycled refill bottles – we are making strides.
BONA DIFFERENCE - VALUE
Sustainable savings one mop at a time
The Bona System is built to save you time and money. Our Bona Microfiber Cleaning Pads are washable and reusable up to 500 times -- a big difference (for you, your wallet, and the environment!) when compared to one-use disposable pads. The sleek, lightweight Bona Spray Mop cleans 40% faster than the leading competitor with an oversized mop head that makes it nimble and easy to use. 1 And Bona’s ready-to-use, rinse-free, streak-free floor cleaners mean no mixing or rinsing.
Did you know...
Efficacy is of paramount importance at Bona. We use the best ingredients to meet the highest standards, resulting in floor cleaners that are very effective without being harsh.
Did you know...
Not only are our floor cleaners super effective but the rinse-free, streak-free formulas don’t require a bucket of water. In fact, the Bona Spray Mop uses 97% less water than a traditional mop and bucket. 2
Did you know...
You can get 500 uses from one Bona Microfiber Pad, costing $8. The leading competitor’s disposable mop pad costs approximately 60 cents per pad (or more). Multiply that single-use cost by 500. That’s an overall difference of 292 dollars! 3

"Like a Dream"
"Its been a nightmare keeping my floors clean with four dogs and two kids under five. I was so embarrassed by how dirty my house looked and I hated cleaning it with my old school mop bucket. This spray mop has changed my life. Its so easy and actually kind of fun to use. My floors have never looked better."

"Effort pays off"
Our contractor directed us to installing red oak floors 23 years ago when building our house. At times, with 2 kids and several dogs, we wondered if that was a wise choice. Cleaned our floors today with Bona’s Hardwood Floor Cleaner and now we know we made the right decision. Floors are clean, bright and shiny - looks like it could have taken hours, but got 1200 sq. ft. done in about 35 minutes.

"Accessible and Easy"
"This made cleaning my floors easier than normal, which is helpful as a disabled woman. It’s so easy for me to switch between the different cleaning pads. I love that the mop is height adjustable. The microfiber pad has replaced my swiffer. It’s an excellent system for any home, but especially helpful if you have pets."
