The holiday season means lots of crafty messes, guests in the house and managing pets and kids. Let me turn you on to one of my trusty cleaning methods – the Bona Premium Spray Mop and Hard Surface Floor Cleaner!
Tile floors look great but take a bit of up keep – and with three Chihuahuas, I’m forever cleaning up messes. Bona products have taken it to a whole new level compared to earlier days.
Every time I clean my floors I’m reminded of growing up in my parent’s house, where my mom would wake us all up early Saturday mornings to CLEAN. She and my dad would crank up the stereo system and we’d all get to work. My job was often polishing the kitchen and family room floor. We had a plug-in scrubber mop that I’d grip with two fists and it looked more industrial than home-friendly. Even as a little girl, I worked my muscles to get the job done.
Fast forward to the Bona Premium Spray Mop – sooo much easier!
What I love is the Bona Hard Surface Floor Cleaner is strong enough to remove stubborn stains, and it’s also environmentally-friendly. It’s plant-derived and free of parabens, formaldehyde, ammonia, phthalates, and phosphates. This is a huge deal because we have our three Chihuahuas and it gives me eace of mind knowing I can scrub away without worrying about harming them.
Another aspect is the mop comes with a removable pad that can be washed and reused. There are other attachments, such as the Microfiber Dusting Pad that can be attached as well.
I love this because it is already ready to go, when it’s time to wash the pad, I just peel it off, wash it in the machine, let it dry and its good to go again!
