Bona Hardwood Floor Polish 32 fl oz — Low-Gloss Restore & Protect for Polyurethane Floors, 500 sq ft Coverage

If your hardwood looks tired from light scratches, scuffs, or uneven sheen, this waterborne polish refreshes surfaces without stripping existing finishes. Designed specifically for unwaxed, unoiled, polyurethane-finished wood floors, the formula fills micro-imperfections and lays down a protective layer that resists everyday traffic. Use every 2–6 months depending on activity and appearance goals; coverage for the 32 fl oz bottle is approximately 500 square feet.

How does this polish improve a dull hardwood floor?

The polish evens out shine and hides fine scratches by settling into micro-scrapes and leveling the surface, creating a uniform low-gloss appearance. It doesn’t recoat like a finish replacement, but refreshes and blends worn areas for a noticeably better look between full refinishes.

• Fills micro-scratches to reduce visible wear
• Leaves a consistent low-gloss sheen across rooms
• Evens out color shifts caused by surface wear
• Safe for polyurethane-finished floors without wax or oil

What surface prep and tools are needed before applying?

Start with a clean, dry floor free of loose dirt or grit—this product is not a cleaner, so use a suitable Bona cleaner or vacuum and spot-clean first. For best results, apply with the Bona Microfiber Cleaning Pad made for polish application to avoid streaks and ensure even distribution.

• Remove dust and debris using a vacuum or microfiber mop
• Spot-clean stubborn soils with an appropriate hardwood cleaner first
• Use the dedicated Bona microfiber pad for consistent spread
• Allow recommended drying time between coats and before foot traffic

How long does the protection last and how often should I reapply?

Longevity depends on household traffic and wear patterns; reapply typically every 2–6 months to maintain appearance and surface protection. High-traffic zones may need more frequent touch-ups, while less-used rooms can go longer between applications.

• Light traffic: reapply around every 4–6 months
• Moderate traffic: plan on about every 2–4 months
• High-traffic areas: inspect more often and touch up as needed
• 32 fl oz bottle covers roughly 500 sq ft per application

Is this polish safe for indoor air quality and finished floors?

The formula is certified to GREENGUARD standards for low chemical emissions during product use, reducing concerns about indoor air impact compared with higher-emission alternatives. It is formulated for polyurethane-finished hardwoods—do not use on oiled or waxed floors where different products are required.

• GREENGUARD certified for low emissions
• Compatible with unwaxed, unoiled polyurethane finishes only
• Not a substitute for finish replacement or refinishing
• Follow label directions and drying times for safe use
