When the top layer of a wooden floor’s protective surface is stained or has light scratches, a recoat will effectively restore its original beauty. The Bona Diamond Abrasives prepare the surface by removing scratches and wear. Then the perfectly smooth, sanded surface can be recoated with Bona Traffic HD, giving the floor a new layer of durable protection, with perfect adhesion to the layer beneath.
Lacquered floors
Add a new layer of protection in a fraction of the time of a full renovation.
Step 1 - Preparation
Remove all furniture from the area to be treated. Use a Bona Dusting Pad or a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the floor.
Step 2 - Deep-cleaning
Degrease and clean the surface thoroughly using the Bona PowerScrubber (green brushes), with Bona DeepClean W diluted in the tank (with a ratio of 1:10). Make sure that there's no excess liquid on the floor, and let it dry.
Step 3 - Fine sanding
Abrade the surface with the Bona FlexiSand, using Bona Diamond Abrasives (grit 120 or 240). Attach the abrasives to a Quatto Disc, or a Multidisc with intermediate pads in between. Abrade corners and edges with a Bona SupraFlex. If the surface has any polish or wax on it, keep going until it's been removed. Vacuum-clean to remove loose sanding dust, or wipe it away with a Bona Dusting Pad.
Step 4 - Finish application
Apply a thin layer of Bona Traffic HD/Traffic to the floor using a stainless-steel trowel. Allow it to dry for about an hour. Then apply 1-2 more layers using a roller or T-bar (8-10 m2/lit). Allow it to dry completely before allowing traffic to resume.
Oiled floors
Make a dull oiled floor come alive again. Restore its glow, and prolong its life.
Step 1 - Preparation
Remove all furniture from the area to be treated. Use a Bona Dusting Pad or a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the floor.
Step 2 - Deep-cleaning
Degrease and clean the surface thoroughly using the Bona PowerScrubber (red brushes), with Bona DeepClean W diluted in the tank (with a ratio of 1:10). Make sure that there's no excess liquid on the floor, and let it dry.
Step 3 - Bona Oil Care application
Pour Bona Oil Care (40-60 m2/lit) onto the floor, and distribute it evenly, using the Bona FlexiSand with a Bona Wool Pad attached. Add more oil as required. Manually apply oil to edges and corners - and other areas that the FlexiSand can't reach. For the best results, buff the floor one last time, using a dry Bona Wool Pad. Allow 12 hours before allowing traffic to resume.
Hard-wax oiled floors
Restoring a floor’s beauty is now an overnight job.
Step 1 - Preparation
Remove furniture from the area, and use a Bona Dusting Pad or a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris.
Step 2 - Deep-cleaning
Degrease and clean the surface thoroughly using the Bona PowerScrubber (green brushes) with Bona DeepClean W diluted in the tank (1:10). Ensure that there's no excess liquid on the floor, and let it dry.
Step 3 - Fine sanding
Abrade the surface with the Bona FlexiSand, using Bona Diamond Abrasives (grit 120 or 240). Attach the abrasives to a Quatto Disc, or Multidisc with intermediate pads in between. Abrade corners and edges using a Bona SupraFlex. If the surface has polish or wax on it, abrade until it has been removed. Vacuum-clean to remove loose sanding dust, or wipe it away with a Bona Dusting Pad.
Step 4 - Hard-wax oil application
Using a Bona Microfibre Roller 5 mm, apply an even, thin coat of Bona Hard Wax Oil to the entire floor (20-24 m2/lit). Avoid accumulation of the product. Follow the direction of the grain where possible. Allow to dry for at least 12 hours before allowing traffic to resume.
