20 Best Floor Cleaner For Wood (2023 Updated)

This product is great – taking dull floors and making them shine beautifully. It coats the wood floor with a surface shine, which will show dull scuffs if you drag (furniture, etc. ) things across it, but is otherwise durable and really looks great.

Easy to apply – be sure the floors are clean first, then follow with a coat of this product. It is highly rated everywhere I checked, for a good reason.

The monocrystalline 100w panel appears to be well constructed, and provided mounting hardware is good too. Installation on my toy hauler was a breeze. The controller is entry level, but has some nice features like backlit blue LCD screen, programmable load circuit control, and two USB ports.

These are nice to have in a basic kit. Tray and charge cables are robust and high quality, however the charge control terminals are barely large enough to fit the 10 gauge cables into. I had to clip off a few strands of copper on a couple of them to fit them in.

I see why they used 10 gauge though, for future addition of another panel. Be advised that if you do add panel(s), you’ll need a higher amp rating controller. Be prepared to spend another $50 or so for fuses and holders (not included), and custom mounting hardware if needed for your specific application.

Over 17,000 reviewers on Home Essentials Direct have rated this Bona Hardwood Cleaner product 4. 8 stars! You’ll be hard pressed to find a similar high average ranking on any other product. There is a good reason for this.

The product simply works. It is easy to use, cleans effectively and drys fast. We have never had any damage caused during the cleaning process regardless of the dirt, grime, mud and dust brought into our home by our Irish Wolfhounds.

And they bring in a lot. We have learned from experience that hardwood floors take a lot of maintenance to make them stay fresh and clean looking. Staying with true ‘hardwood’ is the best path for those looking for enduring floors that can take punishment and yet be sanded down and polished when necessary.

You can’t effectively rehab laminate flooring by sanding. Hardwood can be damaged by dropped objects, furniture dragged across it, liquid leakages, and scarring caused by pets and children. However if the damage stretches across several slats, it can get expensive to not only get the matching pieces to replace it, but it usually requires that several pieces be removed and substitued for continuity.

Color matching alone can be difficult. Just like with marble floors, it makes sense to keep sa box of replacement slats in storage for eventual use. The same can be said of marble flooring. It can take a lot of abuse before it becomes cloudy and the grout takes on a dirty dark color.

Care must be taken when lightening/replacing the grout. A true cleaning involves grinding the marble down to eliminate marks and broken tiles need to be kept in storage in case a few have to be replaced.

A thorough cleaning will result in marble dust permeating your whole house and the cleaning/polishing processes take time and a lot of money.

I have a century old hardwood floor through my kitchen and hallway to the dining room. It is beautiful, but the kitchen has 5 doors – meaning it’s the route to everywhere in the house as well as to the back yard.

So even more than most kitchens, it’s the most used (and most extremely dirtied) floor in the house! I bought the CrossWave to help me out, and it is a miracle to use. But after using up the sample Bissell wood floor formula that came with it, I thought I’d just use my old floor cleaner fluid instead.

I was surprised to find out that, although the CrossWave continued to do an excellent job cleaning the floor, the wood floor formula by Bissell really made the wood glow in a way that my trusted old wood cleaning fluid doesn’t.

I tried others, but just wasn’t as happy as I’d been with the Bissell sample. Annoying, because I’d prefer just to pick some cleaning fluid up when I need it, but I can’t find it in stores. I confirmed when I received the case that Bissel’s wood floor formula streaks less, and glows more.

I would only ever buy it by the case, because otherwise with shipping, it’s too expensive and inconvenient to run out of.

We use our Crosswave on area rugs and laminate surfaces. Much more effective than steaming and Bona==all of which takes longer. The Crosswave is a bit pricey, but it works better and faster than any cleaner we have had before.

Battery almost lasts long enough and the cleaning cycle is a real improvement.

I use this floor cleaner solution with my Shark VACMOP Pro. It is a large two liter bottle that lasts a long time. This is a quality cleaning solution that works on several floor types. Every time I use the product I feel like my house is sparkling clean and the light, pleasant smelling scent helps reinforce that clean feeling.

It cleans the floors really well and cuts through all the dried on gunk the kids have left behind on the floors. The solution dries pretty quickly, too, without leaving any streaks. I use the cleaner on my bathroom and kitchen tiles, hardwood floors and even on my marble fireplace steps.

I get clean, shiny results each use. I am very happy with the Shark VACMOP Mult-surface Cleaner!.

I like the Shark VACMOP™ Multi-Surface Cleaner Refill in the 2L bottle. The bottle should last quite some time for my Shark VacMop. The cleaning solution has a Spring scent. I found that the scent smells nice, but is a little strong at first.

After the floors have dried, that strong scent is gone, leaving behind a pleasant, clean, fresh scent. The solution works great at removing dirt and grim from the floors, leaving them clean, with no streaks.

There is also no sticky, or tacky residue after using the product on my floors. The solution also gave my floors a nice shine to them, and dried fairly quickly. I used the product on hardwood, and tile floors, and had great results with both.

This was a Christmas gift and I thought I’d give it a try. I was amazed! It picks up a lot! It makes quick work of picking up stray crumbs and pet hair and mopping up all the dust. The battery lasts just long enough to use up one cleaning pad (about 3 rooms unless there’s a lot of dirt.

It’s the perfect solution for my stairs since a broom just makes the dirt fly all over the place and a vacuum cleaner is so bulky. I LOVE IT! I just wish the pads/dirt storage was reusable somehow.

I bought a bottle of this to try to try. I am amazed at how great it works. I have a house with all hardwood floors and absolutely no carpet. I have three dogs. This took dark spots away and got my floors extremely clean.

I highly recommend this product.

I used to buy the regular Bona hardwood floor cleaner, but I couldn’t find it. I bought this one and now my floors are a mess. They feel sticky, even after cleaning. They look clean at first but it attracts dirt.

I like the original, but now I am hoping that I can figure out how to get this off my floors. I bought the refill bottle, so now I have a lot that I don’t want to use. Anyone have ideas how to get the sticky residue off?.

Since my floors were originally installed, in mid-2000, I used Bona to clean them, it worked perfectly and my floors always looked good however, I ran out of my regular Bona and purchased Bona Power plus at Costco ….

my floors are now coated, dull and show every shoe print …. This is a terrible product …. how am I going to clean this mess now??.

I have tried many different wood floor cleaners and this is the best and the easiest to use. Just spray it on and wipe off with a mop. No need to rinse. Doesnt streak. Dries to a nice shine but not too shiny.

Excellent product.

I have looked all over for a decent wood floor cleaner. I have found this to be easy to apply, leaves no smudges or marks. Good product.

I’ve tried this product quite a few times after acquaintances raved about it. First the mop assembly (including where you attach the pads) are very poorly constructed / made of inferior materials; they continually break, either where the mop head assembly attaches to the pole or the pole itself.

(I am not using force when this happens) If you have pets (dogs / cats) the dusting pad seems to just ‘push’ the fur. and when the head inadvertently swivels the fur just goes flying everywhere. the fur does not adhere to the pad.

The hardwood floor cleaner leaves much to be desired ~ the floors in my current house are a dark wood, after using the product one is able to see the ‘film’ left on the floors. The hardwood floor cleaner also is useless when it comes to dog drool or dog paw prints (dog owners will understand about the ‘greasy’ paw prints).

Using a hardwood cleaner, provided to me by a company which does sandless hardwood floor restorations, the drool and dog prints come off right away ~ it also does a wonderful job of removing the ‘film’ with the Bona product left behind.

(The other product is bio-degradable, non-toxic and without any discernible scent). After having tried this product (kit, individual items etc) I refuse to waste any further money on it.

I purchased the Bona Floor Cleaning kit about a year ago, and the kit worked just fine. However, the plastic assembly that attaches the mop handle to the mop head broke after about a year of relatively light and infrequent use, making the entire kit useless.

This is a good product that would benefit from a more robust “handle to head” attachment.

I love this Bona hardwood floor care system kit! It works wonders on my hardwood floors. The mop is easy to use, lightweight, and it makes easy to store. I really love how easy and fast it is to clean the mop pads.

Once I wash them they are like brand new again. I can reuse mine over and over again without any issues at all. If you have hardwood floors then I highly recommend buying this hardwood floor car system kit! It’s amazing and when needed I’ll buy it again for sure!.

When I lived in a house with almost all hardwood floors there was a lot of sweeping and mopping involved to keep them looking good. As a fan of method products and environmentally-friendly items in general I immediately bought and started using method’s Almond Squirt and Mop Hardwood Floor cleaner in conjunction with their now-defunct O-Mop.

Yes this squirt and mop liquid was environmentally friendly and smelled lovely. Yes it was easy enough to find at the local Target and even in some grocery stores. That being said it was good really only for a quick touch-up or spot-clean.

I still had to get on my hands and knees with a cloth to remove any type of dried stain. It also didn’t leave the floors with any type of long-lasting shine like Murphy’s Oil Soap did. Eventually I stopped buying this method hardwood floor cleaner and returned to Murphy’s Oil Soap.

It just works so much better.

I used Murphy’s oil and nothing else for the past 8 years, unless I was prepping them to be waxed. I love Murphy oil so much, I use it on all my wood furniture including cabinets. I allways loved the shine and the way it cleaned.

The only thing I didn’t like was the smell. I need something that smells nice and cleans well. So I decided to go the all natural way. I heard a lot of good things about method cleaning products. So I decided to try it.

When I received it, I was very anxious to try it. I followed the instructions on the floor cleaner to a tee. Started to use it and immediately I loved the smell. Omg it smelled so good. Remind me when I use to use old English.

Smells just like it. But that is all it has going for it! I never saw something clean so horrible! When it dried my floor looked cleaned at a glance. But when I really looked, it was still a little dirty and left a Horrible sticky (yes you are reading correctly) and filmy/grungy look.

I am not joking when I say, you will get a better shine from pine sol or mr clean and yes I do realize neither do a good job. Do your self a favor and don’t buy into those fake reviews, cause it can’t possibly clean and give your floors a nice shine.

I so wanted to like this because it smelled so good. So I had my husband try it. Thinking I did something wrong. Nope same thing happened to him. Horrible stuff don’t waste your money! Ps I never write reviews unless i absolutely love the products.

Witch I absolutely hate this product.

Although this (sadly) is not my favorite mopping solution when it comes to cleaning, I have to say that the reason it lost a star was actually the scent. I do not know what the people over at method think almonds smell like, but this stuff smells so strongly of baby oil or baby powder that I was suspicious that I was mopping with baby oil.

Not only that, it was SO STRONG for over 24 hours. Everytime I left the house and came home – baby oil. So much of it. I thought I was crazy so I went and opened a bottle of baby oil, smelled it, then opened the mop solution and smelled it.

They really do smell almost identical. So, if you do not like the smell of baby oil I do not recommend this. If you do like the smell of baby oil, then I highly recommend this. I just cannot get past it.

Swiffer wet jet for wood did a good job cleaning several flooring surfaces in our home. It has a clean light scent. It cleaned up dust, dirt plus our dogs footprints. It dried quickly. Using is easy because it’s premixed.

The solution snaps into the swiffer wet jet pole easily. I cleaned across wood floors, as well as marble knowing that this solution is safe on both surfaces. So convenient that you don’t need to rinse the flooring after use.

This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own.

One of main advantages of the Swiffer WetJet Wood cleaner is that no rinsing is needed. Since it dries quickly, other people on the home don’t have to stay away from the cleaning area for too long. The cleaning solution is recommended safe on wood and finished floors.

It has a light scent that dissipates quickly. I like that this product has the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. There are detailed directions on how to use the refills on WetJet mops. This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own.

This is a great cleaning product that works well on all surfaces. It’s safe for wood surfaces but also can be used on tile, marble, stone, vinyl etc. I used it on tile and it worked great. It got rid of dirt and the tiles were left clean and not sticky.

Smells very citrusy. Typical floor cleaner scent- not my favorite but I can deal with it. It’s great but to be 100% honestly it is little overpriced. I think I can find similar product that works the same for less.

Do yourself (and your hardwood floor) a favor and don’t use this! I bought orange glo to “freshen” up my real hardwood floor. What a mistake!!! Seriously this will ruin your floor. Fortunately I’ve only used this on my floor one time, but that’s all it took to leave a film over it.

So now when I scrub my floor, it looks awful. a streaky awful mess! People have actually gasped and said in disgust “your floors used to be so beautiful and shiny, what did you do?”. To which I say I used orange glo and it has left it looking like this.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve googled how to fix my hardwood floor after using orange glo and there are A LOT of other people that have wrote in about this product with similar stories.

I am going to try some of the suggestions they have to try to remove this junk. I’m just disgusted with how my floor looks, please don’t make the same mistake I made, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT !!!!!!!!!!!!.

excellent for cleaning hard wood floors, leaves a nice subtle shine. disappointed i cant find it in store anymore! its the best thing ive found for cleaning hard wood! recommend it!

Bona is so effective at cleaning my floors and making them shiny! I bought just a regular handle with a cloth mop attachment and have seen amazing results so the mop with the built in spray isn’t completely necessary.

I’ve been using bona for about 5 years now and don’t plan on changing.

I received this to try months ago and it wasn’t until I looked under my cabinet and realized that I was out of my normal floor cleaner that I had to use this. Not sure why I hadn’t before now because now I am on my way to buy some more.

I am a sucker for smells and this stuff smells amazing! I guess I thought cedar wood cleaner wouldn’t smell so great but this doesn’t smell like any kind of wood. its clean and sweet smell. It doesn’t really make the floor shine but its cleans and it smells good.

thats what I care about!.

Love love love this floor cleaner!! It doesn’t have a crazy strong smell, it is not sticky at all and leaves my floor looking shines. It doesn’t leave a film like other floor cleaners. I have a household of pets and kids and I don’t feel bad using it often! It is a bit pricey compared to other brands, but you get what you pay for and it lasts!! Home Depot is the only place I have found it around me, but it’s worth the trip!.

Excellent cleaning product. Took dark hair color out of a cream colored carpet. The hair color just disappeared right before my eyes. Hard to believe. I was amazed. Murphy Oil Soap mixed with water. I use it a lot.

My favorite hard wood floor cleaner is definitely Murphy’s oil soap so I ad to try the squirt and mop version. I cant say that I was actually dissapointed, I just expected more from my favorite brand.

I have children and pets and that makes for messy floors. I have all hard wood floors and I am picky with my floor cleaners. I like them to clean them well without leaving behind a residue, and I want my floors shiny and not dull looking.

Murphy’s has always done just that and I also like not having to get my floors really wet to achieve the clean I want. I thought this squirt type cleaner would take less water on my floors and I wood still get the same results as the oils soap.

It just didn’t work as well and I felt like I didn’t get my floors as clean. But to be fair my floors get pretty dirty and require quite a bit of vacuuming and mopping. I found this worked much better for the inbetween cleanings.

I mop daily to every other day and try to not go longer than 2 days between deep cleanings. I like to use the Murphy’s oil soap at least once a week and then using this for the other days and I like the results.

I feel like this product does save time and water and it does work well, just not well enough to use on its own. I think this would be perfect for homes that dont get as dirty as mine. It works well and leaves the floor clean but doesnt give my floor the shine and clean that the oil soap does.

You dont need much for a large area and its easy to use and is great for keeping the floor clean between the major mop jobs. I would give it one more star if it worked as well as the oil soap. I dont think it leaves a residue but I dont use it without the other Murphy’s.

I think they all made a good product but its hard to compete with the oil soap. I recommend it for less dirty floors or for use with the oil soap too.

I would recommend this product for wood vinyl floors! I always have this at home because I want to keep our floor clean, I usually just clean the house on weekends but when I discovered this product, I’m cleaning more often because I am really pleased with the results.

Take note though that you don’t use it with a mop, you need to have a dry cloth to kind of wipe it on the floor. At first I use it with a mop and it gave streaks on the floor and sticky.

I use hardwood real bamboo floors throughout my house and this stuff gets ALL the yuck from my floors and leaves it looking brand new. I love this stuff, but be cautious, this is industrial chemicals.

Keep away from pets, children and elderly.

Great for more than just floors! I had been using this strictly on the wooden flooring in my home because it’s the only thing powerful enough to clean the scuff marks while leaving behind a bright shine and fresh scent that doesn’t leave my house smelling like chemicals.

Recently I started using it to clean the walls around my house and it works perfect! It gets rid of fingerprints and scuffs on the wall without harming the paint.

Having hardwood floors can be an amazing way to show that you are doing well in life, but having to take care of them can show you how much you truly need to take care of them. That’s why I trust Pledge to keep my floors clean and shiny.

Their one of a kind formula allows you to keep your floors clean and shiny with little to no effort. Leaving your nosy neighbor wondering who you’ve hired to make your floors look so good.

I love how this smells. One of the main reasons i bought it the first time. BUT it is really good for our engineered floorboards. Gives them a nice sheen and a lovely smell. It’s not the cheapest cleaner, but i don’t mind, since the result is great.

Would definitely recommend.
