Have you noticed water stains on your floor?

If a plant pot or something else has leaked water onto the floor, this should be remedied as soon as possible. Follow the instructions below.

On lacquered floors

  • Move the plant pot and wipe up any excess liquid. Let dry, and keep room well ventilated for 24 hours.

  • If the stain is still visible, it means that the fluid has soaked into the wood. We then recommend contacting a Bona Certified Craftsman for advice and assistance.

On oiled floors

  • Move the plant pot and wipe up any excess liquid. Let dry, and keep room well ventilated for 24 hours.

  • Spray the surface with the Cleaner for Oiled Floors, wiping up using a Microfiber Cleaning Pad. Let dry thoroughly. If you see a dark colour or ring on the wood, it indicates that water has soaked into it. To fix the stain, sand the surface with a very fine sandpaper. Then add oil to where the stain was. Be sure to use the same oil as previously used. If you’re not sure and need help, we recommend contacting a Bona Certified Craftsman for further advice and assistance.

Tip

  • Always put plant pots on saucers with felt pads or other protection to collect water and moisture. Move your plant pots occasionally. This will avoid colour changes to the wood caused by sunlight.
