This is the maintenance side of Bona's system: pads for the Bona Mop, a refresher for oiled floors, and a concentrated detergent for sports floors. The three pads - dusting, cleaning and applicator, work together in a simple routine rather than as separate one-off purchases, so it's worth knowing how they fit together before ordering just one. Call 020 8830 9785 if you want help putting a maintenance routine together for your specific floor.
How the Bona Mop pads work together
The routine is dust first, then clean. The dusting pad, a fluffy microfibre pad with electrostatic action, picks up loose dust and hair before any wet cleaning happens. The cleaning pad follows, using dual-zone microfibre technology to lift dirt and remove bacteria without harsh chemicals, safe across wood and other hard floor surfaces. The refresher applicator pad is a separate accessory specifically for applying Bona Wood Floor Refresher, not for general cleaning, so it's an addition to the routine rather than a substitute for the other two.

Refresher and deep-clean products
Bona Oiled Wood Floor Refresher is specifically for oiled floors, restoring sheen with a quick-drying, ready-to-use formula rather than a full re-oiling. SuperSport Deep Clean is a different product entirely, a concentrated alkaline detergent for occasional deep cleaning of sports floors, aimed at removing the body-fat buildup from sweat that makes a sports floor slippery over time rather than everyday dirt.
FAQ
Do I need all three pads, or can I just buy the cleaning pad? The cleaning pad alone will clean the floor, but skipping the dusting pad means wet-cleaning over loose grit, which can scratch the finish over time. For best results, dust first, then clean.
Is the Oiled Wood Floor Refresher the same as re-oiling my floor? No, it's a lighter maintenance step that restores sheen on an oiled floor without applying a full new coat of oil. For a proper re-oiling, our hardwax and oil range covers the finishing products themselves.
Can I use SuperSport Deep Clean on a normal domestic floor? It's formulated for the specific problem of sweat-related slipperiness on sports floors, so for everyday domestic cleaning the standard cleaning pad and cleaner is the better fit; SuperSport is a specialist, occasional-use product.
Are these pads reusable? Yes, the dusting and cleaning pads are washable and reusable, attaching to the Bona Mop with Velcro-like strips rather than being disposable.
