Overview
Overview

Bona Freshen Up is a ready-to-use water-based maintenance coating for most varnished wooden floors in both commercial and domestic environments. It helps to revive scratched or dull surfaces giving a newly finished look and extra protection against wear. Perfect for maintaining the range of Bona Floor Varnishes.
Please Note: Bona Freshen Up is not suitable for wooden floors previously waxed, oiled or treated with Bona Polish. Bona Freshen Up will raise the sheen of the surface by a few percent and is therefore not recommended for use on extra matt or 'natural' finishes if you wish to retain a totally matt surface.

Preparation
Preparation
Back
Ensure floors to be treated are clean, dry and free of any loose dirt, grit or other surface contaminants by vacuuming or sweeping with a dry microfibre mop. Stubborn scuffs, stains or marks should be cleaned with a dedicated, pH balanced, wood floor cleaner such as Bona Cleaner Concentrate.
Application
Application
Back
Always do a test area before starting any project to asses product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times. Ensure that the product is well mixed prior to opening by gently rocking the container back and forth several times.
Bona recommend that you DO NOT use a roller to apply Bona Freshen Up as this can create bubbles in the coating which will adversely affect the finish.
- Pour Bona Freshen Up in a 3-4 cm wide wavy line on a small section of your floor
- Use a Bona Mop with a slightly dampened Bona Microfiber Applicator Pad to smooth out product
- Work with the grain of the wood on a small section at a time
- Spread as a thin, consistent coating, keeping airborne dust to a minimum while floor is wet
- Continue until the entire floor is coated
- If needed, a second coat may be applied after the first has fully dried (normally 2 - 3 hours)
- Always coat the entire floor to ensure an even appearance and sheen
Aftercare

Regular cleaning
Wet cleaning of the floor may be resumed after three days. For regular cleaning, use Bona Cleaner Concentrate.
Please Note: Avoid using strong alkaline cleaning agents or household detergents / cleaners as these can degrade or remove the protective polish coating.
Maintenance
For top-up protection and durability, an additional coat of Bona Freshen Up can be applied on a semi-regular basis if required, i.e. every 6 to 12 months.

Good product and timely delivered
Product does what it says when used on an oak floor.

Excellent finish on wood flooring
Easy and quick to apply, quick drying and excellent finish. Use Bona Freshen Up twice a year to extend life of wood flooring in village hall.

Fantastic and lasts
I've used this product a few times and I find the coloured is best as the clear doesn't last as long for some reason. Penetrates better by brush or roller. Spraying doesn't penetrate anywhere near as well. Brilliant product though.

The fact that this is a repeated order speaks for itself
Tried & tested over a period of years

Easy to use Good results
We used this product on our village hall maple floor. After deep cleaning using the Bona mop and deep cleaner solution, we managed to apply 2 coats of “Freshen Up” within 1 day. The hall was ready to use the following morning and the floor looked great.

Doe what is claimed by the manufacturer
Followed the instructions for the product taking care to clean the loor thoroughly before application, Applied one coat. Off down the pub while this dried. returned after one hour and applied a second coat. Left this for about20 hours before using the room again,
Really pleased with the result which left a superb shine on the floor and in a great condition for dancing and excersize.

Very easy to use
I used this to improve the floor of our village hall. Wood finishes direct and Bona technical support were excellent, giving good advice on the best product. Bona provided test samples to try different products. It was very easy to apply and dried quickly. The result was a vast improvement at minimal cost. We will use it again when required.
