This post is sponsored by Bona® but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. I will be the first to admit that I had no idea how to care for hardwood floors, even after moving into our current home. Though, I had very little knowledge of what it took to care for them, I knew it was essential learn to maintain these, after all they are our home’s largest asset. This is why I have chosen to use Bona® Hardwood Floor Cleaner to upkeep our floors. Because nearly 100 years, Bona has provided home owners with “tried and true” premium products.
This unique and effective formulation provides a complete clean by gently and effectively removing dust and dirt. It is also GREENGUARD GOLD certified, which means that it’s safe for use in our home and around my family. It is so effective that it dries fast with no dulling residue! I learned very quickly that hardwood floors require different care than carpet. Knowing this has encouraged me to develop a cleaning schedule to keep our floors looking their best.
Daily
Dusting with a microfiber mop to ensure floors do not get scratches. I find that using a microfiber mop is more effective in trapping dirt.
Weekly
Vacuum and wet mop, this method really helps get dirt out of trouble areas.
Other tips

Lightly misting hardwood floors with a hardwood floor cleaner will be enough to give it a great clean. Using DIY cleaners can be damaging to hardwood floors. Depending on the amount of traffic in a home, it is a good idea to polish the floors every 2-3 months and this product by Bona is a great option, Bona Hardwood Floor Polish.

Hardwood floors can be a great investment, but they need to be taken care of properly to ensure they last.
Really awesome tips that everyone can follow and refer through. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for posting this! Maintenance for prefinished wood flooring includes regular sweeping, vacuuming, and/or dust-mopping. Clean all spills immediately with a damp cloth and use a specialty non-wax prefinished hardwood floor cleaner to maintain the quality of the material. We recommend Bona and Karhs cleaning products.
SO helpful, and lovelovelove that your kids get involved with helping!
