Can this be used with engineered wood floors? I was told it has to be polyurethane cleaner due to the pre finish.

We have engineered floors and found this to be a great product. We have a toddler so our floors see a lot of gunk dropped on them and this pro version is even more effective than regular bona. As long as you vacuum or sweep ahead of time the bona brings a great shine.

Yes our Pet Stain & Odor Terminator can be used on wood flooring. One primary benefit will be that it will remove the organic urine smell your cat or dog will leave behind. This will help prevent your pets from re-marking those areas of your floor or carpeting.

I would say yes. The floor should have a non porous surface. I would not recommend using on an open grain wood floor such as an unfinished oak floor. I highly recommend this product! It lasts a long time. Two to three coats seems to give the best results. Make your final coat as thin as you can get it. Good Luck!!

No - You will need the cleaner called Multifloor Plus for use on both tile and wood floors

Mine was used on hardwood, vinyl, and stone. Unfortunately I had to send mine back after a few months because it quit working. Right now I'm just dampening a swiffer dry cloth and cleaning the floors with vinegar and water solution. Sorry, but I've gone through 2 brands of steamer mops, and think I'll just quit while I'm ahead.

This is only to be used for for restoration/damaged wood. If the floors have been previously coated in a polyurethane coating (typical non-wax type floor treatment), it will bead up and ruin your floors. But the good news is it won't make your floors slippery :)

Donna - I am SO impressed by this cleaner! I use it on my (not plush)oriental rugs that are laid over hardwood floors and there has been no damage! My wood floors are about 60yo and not sealed and they would be more prone to damage than your newer floors, so you should be safe. There is a newer model where the canister removes for stairs if that is a feature that might be of value to you. Tena

You can use it safely on old floors. Minwax is excellent for cleaning the wood, it does not add shine. It works perfectly on unfinished wood without discoloring. But it won't blend the compromised parts back in with the finished areas.

A STEAM CLEANER WILL WORK GREAT ON SEALED HARDWOOD FLOORS BUT I WOULDN'T USE IT IN YOUR CASE SINCE THE STEAM COULD WARP THE WOOD WHERE IT IS NO LONGER SEALED. YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE A STEAMER ON SEALED HARDWOOD SINCE SOME MODELS CAN PRODUCE A WET STEAM WHICH WILL TAKE TOO LONG TO EVAPORATE. ALSO, BE SURE TO USE DISTILLED WATER ON THE HARDWOOD FLOORS SO YOU WON'T LEAVE WHITE MINERAL STREAKS ON THE FLOORS.

No it does not. I have older floors that were sanded and finished with poly tens years ago. All I use cleaning is PolyCare.

I used it on the oak floors prior to selling my last home. I liked it. Can not put urethane over it through.

need to clarify: yes, a steam mop can be used on SEALED hardwood floors; this means sealed with polyurethane AFTER laying so that the seams are covered as well; this does NOT refer to pre-sealed or factory sealed hardwood floors that are laid leaving the seams vulnerable to water exposure. Note also that steamers should NOT be used on bamboo floors for the same reason. When used on poly-sealed hardwood floors, the steamer makes it shine better than any cleaner on the market which dulls the poly over time. ~Mary Ann

You can use it on any sealed surface. Considering, that finished wood floors, tile, laminate, linoleum are all sealed surfaces, this product cleans the surface. You not actually cleaning the wood, you're cleaning the sealed surface on top of spots and debris that can wear down the finish.I have a polyurethane finished dining room table that I squirt the bona cleaner on and wipe off with paper towels.Floor cleaner is like water and Windex mixed, you're cleaning the same as spots off glass.

It will work on a polished wood floor. What it would do to the floor and its finish depends upon the floor. I would consult your flooring information.

I have engineered hardwood flooring & I use Bona Pro on them. It has not had any kind of adverse affect whatsoever on my floor & in fact, leaves a beautiful shine. VERY pleased with this product!

Yes, I have prefinished hardwood floors in the entry way of my home and I use the steamer on them with no problem. I was weary at first because of the finish and glue but it hasn't affected either.

probably not. you should contact the chemical's manufacturer or a flooring expert. wood stains I think are a different problem because of the materials being treated.
