Dusting and cleaning stone and tile floors

Things to think about when you dust and clean your stone or tile floor:

Protecting your stone and tile floors is simple. With routine cleaning, you remove dust and dirt before they scratch and dull the finish, or start to wear away the floor.

Always keep the amount of water you use to a minimum when cleaning your floors. If you spill food or drinks, wipe it up immediately to prevent any permanent damage or staining.

Sweep or vacuum-clean your floors as often as necessary. Use Bona’s mild, specially-formulated Stone, Tile and Laminate Floor Refresher for the best results, or the Bona Stone and Tile Floor Spray Mop. Just spray and wipe!

Do not use ”all-purpose” cleaners on your stone or tiled floors, as they tend to leave a dull residue.You normally end up using too much water as well, which is damaging to your floors.

Maintaining stone and tile floors

Things to think about when you maintain your stone or tile floor:

If your stone or tile floors are starting to look dull, you can use Bona’s specially-formulated Stone, Tile and Laminate Floor Refresher to revive them.

Polish adds lustre to your dull stone and tile floors, and acts as an extra layer of protection against wear and tear. Applying polish is also a good idea if ou've installed a new floor in an area where there's a high risk of spilling water - like in a kitchen.

Polish can be applied as needed, but a few times a year is usually a good idea. Always make sure the floor has been cleaned before re-applying.
