Review on ๐ŸŒฟ Bona Low Gloss Hardwood Floor Polish - New 64 Ounce Value Pack by Diana Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product. Follow the directions and be patient

I had a lot of experience with this when I was finishing my raw hardwood floors to replace the old worn out polythene. Disassembled to tree, sealed and then used this polish. I did a shift. Firstly, you need to be patient, not skimp and not cut corners. You need to swing the bottle slowly and you need to do this for at least 30 seconds (you need to shake to the rhythm of 2 beats per movement of a slowly ticking clock - think of the crocodile from the cartoon Peter Pan). The point is to mix it thoroughly before you start spreading. Don't shake it as this will create more bubbles and you don't need bubbles. After sanding the floors I filled in the gaps, sanded, vacuumed, cleaned with Bona Hardwood Cleaner, dusted, resealed, sanded, vacuumed, cleaned again with Bona Hardwood Cleaner, THEN dusted before applying polish. Again, it needs to be CLEAN before you start polishing. I used a plastic roller and worked in small sections, first applying the polish across the boards and then making a final pass along the grain. This material dries quickly, so if you have to work on small areas (like 4-6 feet or less), make sure you apply it evenly. I inspected the floors before leaving the drying room to make sure everything was smooth and let the floors dry FULL of time (I walked around with socks to inspect the areas after 3 hours but then laid the next Tagged paper when I installed the baseboard full cure within 24 hours This is not a high gloss polish - I think some people expect *some* shine but it really isn't It's a matte finish but if that's what you're after , it's great. Worked great for me.
