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

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

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

Very easy to apply and the end result is a floor finish like new

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.

Fantastic product

Easy to apply and does the job very well. Floor left looking fresh and clean

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.

Great product so easy to use

First time using this product will use again

Completely effective

Good price and pleasant aroma. Easy to administer.

Excellent

Constant use of this on our wood floor has made it look fab

Very easy to order and use.Usually give hall floor two applications and lasts well

Think product is great and easy to apply. Certainly helps to 'freshen up' dance floor.

Ideal treatment for our engineered oak floors

Arrived quickly, easy to use, as always, and value for money.

Great service at a good price

Great product to get tired floors looking great again .very easy to use

it gave the floor a fresh shine, but didn't cover all scratches.

for the price & cover rate it is worth using

Excellent product

Great for periodic top up of floor lacquer

Great Product

Was going to get the floor sanded. Used the Mop and freshen up instead. Really good job. Floors look as new.

Easy to ude

A good product that gives excellent results.

brilliant

Easy to use makes the floor look new

An excellent product which provides a surface as good as new with no effort.

Good product very easy to prepare and apply

A simple product very easy to prepare floor compared to other products and easy to apply. It is also forgiving enough to help fill the odd small dent in the timber flooring. I used the product to repair a number of areas in a kitchen and dining room area in a penthouse, once dry it was virtually impossible to see the repairs ( unless you knew where they were ) A great product.

Gave my floor a glossy shine

Good result from using this product. It's a bit labour intensive in that you need to plan how you're not going to walk on the floor for at least 2 hours and it doesn't look promising when you first apply, but the results come through after you leave it a while. Revived my floor nearly to its original lovely deep glossy colour.

Thank you for writing a review on this product. Its disappointing to see that the product only got a 1 star when you felt that it did a good job on your floor. I understand that the Floor cleaner that you used after dulled the finish down and this was the problem for you. If there is anything further that I can help with please do let me know. www.wood-finishes-direct.com/info/contact-us Kind Regards Sam.

Looks good

Not had a chance to use it yet, but if its as good as the other Bona products it will be ok

Simple and easy to use requires no effort

Does more than expected. actually removes quite heavy marks with little effort and is very economical. product is water based which has to be a plus. Safe for use around children and animals.Has no odour and dries quickly.Safe for use around children and animals.

Excellent

Have used this product before for our village hall floor and been very satisfied with the finish, have had to use more than recommended but this perhaps as we haven't cleaned thoroughly for 3 yrs!

Easy to use, OK results

Maybe our old Bona Mega finish was just getting too old (15 years), but I was a bit underwhelmed by the result of this - certainly didn't seem as good as other reports suggest. However, it is very easy to apply, and I found that more coats helped - 4 or 5 and its looking OK, though not sure how long for. And Bona do sell it as 'Freshen Up' - not 'good as new' so it really does all that is claimed.

It really did refresh a tired looking small area of parquet flooring

This product worked really well in rejuvenating a small amount of parquet flooring. It might though be much harder to achieve an even finish on a larger floor area.

Superb product

Gave my oak floor 2 coats of this product, using the Bona spray mop and it has brought the finish up a treat. Another plus is, that it only uses a small amount so is very good value. Thanks to your staff for recommending it after I had explained what I was finish looking for.
