The dirt and soda stains we left were cleaned up with ease.
This cleaner also comes in a 32-ounce spray bottle, and has two spray levels.
One was more of a mist, and the other was a more targeted direct spray.

Overall, we thought the bottle was easy to use and sprayed very well.
One of our editors finds the cleaner easy to apply with one hand while she mops with the other.
But, it’ll be smooth sailing otherwise.

It also effectively removed most of the stains we left in its path.
Once it was diluted, as instructed, there was hardly any smell at all.
That means one bottle will last you a considerably long time, making this pick our very best concentrate.
The pH-neutral formula ensures a streak-free finish with no sticky residue left behind after cleaning.
It was relatively simple to mix, and you need very little product for it to be effective.
We added a 14-cup of solution for each one gallon of water.
It effectively cleaned our stains with relatively less effort and left behind no residue and limited stickiness.
The crayon required a little more scrubbing, but removed quickly and left behind no marks.
After two minutes, we found the floor was completely dry and back to its previous shine.
Made with special booster technology, this formula will help your floors regain their shine.
For a deeper (and even shinier!)
clean, try leaving the solution to soak in for a few minutes.
This is something we were able to look past as its cleaning abilities outweighed any unpleasant smell.
Final Verdict
TheBona Hardwood Floor Cleanerchecks off all our boxes for a hardwood floor cleaner.
It’s very gentle and can tackle any stain, and comes in a ready-to-use spray bottle.
If you’re looking for a value-packed option,Mr.
For example, you should not use products with bleach or ammonia on hardwood floors.
Instead, Miller says its important touse a pH-balanced cleaner.
Some floor cleaners are also formulated with heavy fragrances to add a freshly cleaned scent.
Remember that wood and water dont mix.You should never use straight water on wood floors.
