FirstFloor Floor Care Kit for Lacquered Floors

One box, and everything in it matched to a sealed floor

This is the lacquered-floor version of our floor care kit: the Bona Spray Mop with the cartridge Bona makes for sealed and lacquered timber, a second washable microfibre pad, and a 1 litre bottle of our own FirstFloor concentrate.

It is worth knowing what separates it from the oiled kit, because they look alike. The mop is the same mop and the concentrate is the same concentrate. The cartridge is not, and on a spray mop the cartridge is the part that has to match your floor.

Contents are this kit's own listing. Mop and pad detail is Bona's; the dilution and the 40 litre figure are FirstFloor's.

What is in the kit

• 1x Bona Spray Mop Kit - the mop, a refillable 850ml cartridge charged with Bona's cleaner for lacquered and sealed timber, and a microfibre pad. No bucket, and a trigger you control the mist with.
• 1x Bona Microfibre Cleaning Pad - a spare cleaning pad, so one is always washed and ready while the other is on the mop.
• 1x FirstFloor Wood Floor Cleaner Concentrate, 1 litre - our own brand, mixed at 25ml per litre of water. FirstFloor states one bottle makes up to 40 litres.

The Bona cartridge arrives charged, so the kit works out of the box; the concentrate is what you refill that same cartridge with afterwards, which is why the running cost of this kit is measured in litres of made-up cleaner rather than in bottles.

One part of it is not finish-specific at all. FirstFloor states the concentrate suits engineered oak, lacquered, oiled and waxed floors, so a house with a sealed floor downstairs and an oiled one upstairs still only needs one bottle. Everything that has to match your floor is in the cartridge.

Cleaning is the whole of this kit. Refreshing the finish on a lacquered floor is a separate coating job, and the two products for it are below.

The order to use it in

1. Sweep or vacuum first to lift the loose grit, which is what scratches a floor.
2. Use the cartridge as it comes for the first run. It arrives charged with Bona's cleaner for sealed floors.
3. Refill it from the concentrate after that, at 25ml per litre of water. Mix only what you will use.
4. Mist and mop along the grain, a section at a time, with a clean pad.
5. Wash the dirty pad and swap to the spare. Never put a pad away wet and dirty.

General good-practice steps for the kit. The dilution is FirstFloor's own, and the mop and pad detail is Bona's.

Cleaning is one job. Refreshing the finish is another
