Operation mop up: how to clean your hardwood floors to military perfection

Our floors are often bombarded with the comings and goings of everyday life. Spring is the ideal time to make sure your hardwood floors are in shipshape condition, so all your troops can run freely round the house. Here’s the artillery you need to detect and remove any camouflaged dirt, and leave you feeling ‘at ease.’
Stand down sweeping
Hardwood floors never go out of style, but it can often be a mission keeping them from looking tired, scratched and well, less than satisfactory. First task is to combat any top-level dirt, but not by sweeping – this just pushes dust into the air which will eventually settle and spread dirt further around the house.
Major microfibre
Instead, you need to draft in a microfibre dust mop or a vacuum cleaner. The Bona Premium Floor Spray Mops are the masters of defeating any dirt on your wooden surfaces. The absorbent microfibre shifts even the minutest particles, including dust, dirt and bacteria. You can wash the pads up to 300 times, so you can spritz your way around the house, obliterating dirt over and over again. And for an even more hygienic clean, roll out the Bona Antibacterial Hard Floor Cleaner to see off 99.9% of bacteria and enveloped viruses.
Sergeant stains
Stains, spills and splatters are inevitable, but have no fear – there’s no need to call in the cavalry. Thoroughly tackle any stains and kill germs with a steam clean – the Shark Klik n’ Flip Steam Pocket Mop will be your ally. With no harsh chemicals and clever flip-over microfibre pads, you won’t even need to get your hands dirty during this mission.
