How to Deep Clean Floors

Bona recommends a professional deep clean about once a year, depending on the condition and use of your floors.

Deep Cleaning Advantages

Deep cleaning helps remove built-up dirt and grime that regular cleaning may leave behind. Dust, soil and other particles can collect in the crevices and seams of your floor. Depending on the condition and use of your floors, periodic deep cleaning can provide several benefits: 

  • Better floor care. Deep cleaning helps remove built-up dirt and grit that can contribute to wear on your floor's finish. Removing this buildup and maintaining your floors regularly can help protect the finish and keep floors looking their best.
  • A more thorough clean. Deep cleaning helps remove built-up dust, dirt and debris from areas that everyday cleaning may miss, leaving your floors thoroughly clean. 
  • Smart maintenance. Regular cleaning and periodic deep cleaning can help maintain your floor's appearance and protective finish over time, potentially reducing the need for more intensive maintenance caused by dirt and wear.

A floor Deep Cleaner that is strong enough to remove tough stains while leaving floors looking great. Bona PowerPlus Hardwood Floor Deep Cleaner makes deep cleaning easy and hassle-free. For sanitizing and disinfecting hard surface floors, try the Bona PowerPlus Antibacterial Hard Surface Floor Cleaner.

You can deep clean your hardwood floors yourself or hire a Bona Certified Craftsman. A professional has access to specialised equipment and experience for floors that need a more intensive clean. Whichever option you choose, start by assessing the condition of your floor and following the appropriate cleaning and product instructions.

  • Analyze. Check your floors for scratches, worn areas or other damage before cleaning. Deep cleaning can remove dirt and buildup, but scratches or damage to the finish may require additional maintenance or repair.
  • Prep. Remove all items from the room. Be careful when moving furniture and other large objects to avoid accidental damage to floors and walls. 
  • Clean. Dust and mop your floors to give them a good clean. Repeat as necessary to get them nice and spotless. For more tips, check out our cleaning guides. 
  • Polish.  Once your floor is clean and completely dry, a polish can help refresh its appearance. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and apply the product as directed. 

 

Bona Polish is designed to restore shine and improve the appearance of your floor, including the appearance of small scratches. Find the right polish for your floor.
