Bona Spray Mop – NZ
Keeping your timber floors looking their best shouldn’t be a chore. The Bona Spray Mop is a purpose-built cleaning kit that makes looking after oiled or lacquered wooden floors easy. With its even mist spray and reusable microfibre pad, you can clean quickly without worrying about soaking your boards.
What is the Bona Spray Mop?
The Bona Spray Mop is an all-in-one cleaning system designed specifically for timber floors. The lightweight mop frame comes with a refillable cartridge and washable microfibre cleaning pad. A trigger on the handle releases a fine mist of cleaning solution onto the floor, ensuring the right amount of moisture – no more buckets of water or dripping mops. Bona’s cleaning formula evaporates quickly and leaves no streaks.

Why choose Bona?
People choose the Bona Spray Mop because it’s built with everyday use in mind. The mop head swivels and locks so you can reach under furniture, the comfortable foam grip makes it easy to handle, and the reusable pad can be machine‑washed after each clean. A quick ejection button lets you swap cartridges without mess. Unlike generic spray mops, this kit is specifically formulated for wood floors, so it cleans effectively without dulling the finish.
- Even mist – avoids over‑wetting and helps protect timber.
- Washable microfibre pad for sustainable cleaning.
- Refillable cartridge; refill with Bona’s wood floor cleaner concentrate.
- Improved mop head swivels and locks for easy manoeuvring.
- Quick assembly and comfortable secondary foam grip for ease of use.
When should I use it?
The spray mop is ideal for routine cleaning of oiled or lacquered wood floors. For busy areas like kitchens or hallways, a quick pass with the spray mop every few days will pick up dirt before it can scratch the surface. In quieter rooms you may only need to mop once a week. Because the cleaning solution evaporates quickly and leaves no residue, you can walk on your floors straight after mopping.
How to use the Bona Spray Mop
- Attach the handle to the mop base and click the microfibre pad into place.
- Fill the cartridge with Bona’s wood floor cleaner (dilute concentrate if using a refill) and slide it into the holder until it clicks.
- Start in one corner of the room. Squeeze the trigger to spray a fine mist ahead of the mop and work along the grain of the wood.
- Rinse or replace the pad once it becomes dirty. After cleaning, remove the pad and wash it according to the instructions.
