Hardwood Floor Cleaner Shootout 

This was legitimately one of the most plain old refreshingly intelligent and honest results based video's I think I've ever watched. I am sincerely appreciative and impressed at your diligence and honesty. Please continue making videos like this, it really does make a difference.

You guys did all this work for me? Thank you!!!!!! You saved me tons of hours and tons of money!! Seeing is believing!

When you said OUR Crystal Clean Cleaner I already knew the results of the Experiment lol

0:25 - We'll never see that many lysol sprays and Clorox wipes on the shelves like that anymore.

We've used Murphy's oil soap for years. He's right it does give it a natural clean look however for the past year and a half we've been using Bona on a separate floor downstairs and ive noticed a Big difference between the two. The bona had no build up as this video suggested nor is there any dirt trapped under the floor. I think that is due to the person cleaning the floor and how they're applying it. The bona is more like a water substance then wax and the Murphy's oil soap is a lot thinker and more oily. The Bona has surpassed our expectations for the price. We haven't looked for anything since. Our floor looks healthy great and we couldn't be more satisfied. So u can take this video how u like. Im not trying to discourage u from buying the other cleaners im simply offering u my honest opinion after seeing this i felt as if i should and if u don't believe me try it urself. Thanks

This was incredibly helpful. I've been obsessing over my floors and now I'm going to leave well enough alone. My floors look better than the polish after regular foot traffic

Plain, simple, direct and time saving...thank you from bottom of my heart...really appreciate it

music is way too loud, it's background music it shouldn't be the main thing I hear

WOW! Thank you for this demonstration. It's extremely helpful and I'm now better informed as to which product will serve my needs. Thank you again!!

good info but music is way too loud and isn't even needed.

Good to know, thanks! I use Murphey's and am (now) glad of it!

Really liked this side by side demonstration, but the music overwhelms the talking. Had to use the closed captions!! I’ll be using Murphy from now on.

P.s we do water down the bona (just a little) but u pretty much do with anything else u use as well.

Music is a bit loud, so I just watched the outcome. Thank you

Music is way to loud. I used Murphy’s oil on my hardwood floors for almost 20 years at my previous house without any build up. We moved into our current house almost 4 years ago and have used the Bona cleaners without any problem. I think the issue is the amount of Bona cleaner you used, it was like 20 times the amount you should be using. If you did that every week, no wonder there was residue build up.

Not fair for Bona. That was the polish not the cleaner.

Thanks! I'm cleaning rustic cabins made of pine logs and hardwood flooring....no high gloss surfaces and unstained, a few cabins have hardwood laminated flooring. your demo answered my questions....

I love Bona High gloss but now I can see the build up and honestly I am forced to use nothing but Bona. I now need a resurfacing

Turn the music off!!!

Very good, just what I wanted, a tested comparison. I’ll stick my with Murphy’s wood oil.

Thank you this was helpful. It can be overwhelming when standing in the aisle trying to figure out what will be best for home.

My floors are 75 years old..they were refurbished three years ago…in between cleaning I try and keep the floor dusted…I do use 1 cup of Apple vinegar and one gallon of water ..the mop is then used only damp on floor…I use mop and glow on my vinyl floor in kitchen with a different mop…

Background music is louder then your voice ,hard for me to hear you😥

Zep hardwood cleaner it’s the best I’ve found. It looks similar to the crystal clean one you used.

House cleaner here.. Muphys is the best 🙌

Music 🎶 hurts my ears

Good ole fashioned Murphy's oil soap

i have a new home built in 52 i used the murray oil soap and it dulled my wax job .

Great and informative video but the music overpowered your voice. Just a thought. Love the video though

I clean .Murphy soap is the best

basically the instructions say to spill some on the floor and mop it up hehehe.

I use rejuvinate floor cleaner, Murphy's oil and bona seemed to damage my hard wood. I love my hard wood floors so I re did them after the damage that Murphy's and bona did,and started using rejuvenate and never went back

I did it with the Woodglut plans.

Thank you for excellent job.

Awesome video

The music ruined what seemed like a good video. Way to loud. Really why do that and ruin the video

I have been used Zep, Rejunivate and Bona for awhile! This is my opinion I use Zep hardwood laminate floor cleaner for regular cleaning because they cheap and clean well. Buy a gallon can last a month. The finish after will be Matt , not shiny I use Rejuvenate when I want to deep clean like every other week. Feel so much clean and a bit shine. I don’t like Bona because they too pricey but already stock when them on sale for $2, I only want to used when I want quick touch up for shiny look only. Bona make floor slippery leave a film on the floor, my friends who wear sock almost fall when they take shoes off. ****Finally I find something that beat them all ##Pine Sol## is the best it clean well, it kill virus Corona virus and other germs. It’s protect your hardwood floor. It have a bit of shiny looks.The price is cheap, save money. a gallon you need to dulled it can last for long time. Only downside is smell so strong, I drop a few drop of essential oil like lavender or sweet orange.

Mop n glo works fine

Turn the music down in the mix next video

Great comparison video!!

Awesome video but I just have to point out, it was very hard for me to hear over the music what you were saying.

Any opinion on the Shark steam clean, with just water? That was our former method. Now started using Bona cleaner. Seems better than just water.

I grew up on mop&glow but we only used it once a month! To actually clean the floors weekly we used Mr. Clean or Top Job! I was born in the ‘70’s🤷🏾‍♀️

I like Bona

Good video but could of done without the music, it's suppose to be instructional! Thanks

music too loud, i can't hear what you're saying :(

Thank you for this I have the exact same color floors and I will use Murphys oil soap

Thank you !

Ok the Murphys soap I have home but it cleans it well but then leaves it looking dull.... No shine at all... so you are left to still polish it up some

This was awesome! Thank you

A bunch of wood floor guys comdn murphys oil soap on hardwood floors. Seen some articles its like your trapping dirt in a capsule making it imposaible to clean ir shine

So helpful!!

Which would you all suggest for high traffic floors and having dogs in the house??? I’ve tried even using the hot water with alcohol and vinegar with a few drops of dawn. I’ve used Murphy oil cleaner and followed directions and still shows doggy prints 🐾 and shoe prints. It’s stressful. I didn’t choose this LV floor but it was already in the house. When I replace the floor I am at the point idk what to put down

So Murphy oil is best

Why are you using the Bona polish and not the Bona cleaner?

And how about vinegar and water? It's what my floor guys recommended.

1:18 You used your water bottle not Murphy oil soap that's why it looks the same.

What brand is the mop you’re using?

Why would you use bona polish for cleaning?? That makes no sense. A polish should build and should only be used as needed. If you used bona cleaner you would have had better results for a cleaning experiment

Thank you fr the education

Bona left a hazy gummy haze on my laminate. Im still trying to get it off the floor

Have always stucknto the old fashion ways! Even when the BONA shine came out. Began to read alot about HOW TO REMOVE BONA WAX BUILDUP!!! :*( IM LIKE.....WHY would you have to remove a BONA wax buildup and its only been out a year???

Instructions on Bona Polish are to use the it after cleaning with Bona Cleaner and to do so every 2-3 months.

I clean mine with lots of water, i pull my garden hose and just spray the whole thing with water, then i put bleach and a lot of dish soap and more water and it looks great

I used Murphy oil soap on a wood table and it stripped the wax and damaged the wood. I was surprised because it said it's safe for wood. What's going on? I'm not convinced that it's safe to use it on my oak floor.

I have the bona one ? should I dilute it with water in a bucket to clean because there is no way this small bottle can cover the whole apartment

why does mine get sticky with most products, espcially bona and murphy

Holloway House Quick Shine from Wall Mart seems to me to be better than all of these.If you a have a high gloss finish on your floor like mine then it will enhance the shine back to the original pretty much as long as you keep up with it and not let it get dull in the first place.

Background sounds is too loud

I have a question so when you use very slow clear, do you add water or do you just use it straight out the bottle

omg, people! do NOT use any chemicals on hardwood! detergents will dull the finish and cause damage over time. the best and ONLY thing you should use is a damp mop.

Can I use a roomba on hardwood floors or do they scratch it?

IMO, Murphy’s recommended dilution is still too much and can leave residue. I put a small capful per 1.5 gallons of water and haven’t had any issues with my client’s hardwoods.

Nice one

So I'm confused now do I use one of these products or not! Or what should I use??

Great

Water and vinegar is all you need!

Cual es el mejor yo e usado diferentes cual es el que gano en este video tengo de los 4

what ingredient causes the build up ?

Our floors always end up with a film on them, even with using white vinegar. We have pergo outlast.

From what I saw you didn't even poor the oil soap on the floor. You just poured out a bottle of water & it dried...

Why wasnt bona cleaner used, instead you used the polish

did you use different mops?

Y'all are using Bona Floor Polish as a cleaner??

He used water instead of murphy's oil. Replay and you'll see. lol

At 3:18 for the traction of crystal clear you almost fell 🤣🤣, why is that? 🤔

Cant hear for the music

basically y’all just promoted your cleaner lol got ya i’ll stick to murphy oil

Can use grout sealer on Laminate floors Seams?

How do I get off the build up? Every time we walk on our dark hardwood we can see foot marks.

Crappy music too loud. Otherwise a fine video.

The thing about Murphy’s oil is it darkens overtime there’s a reason you don’t use certain products Over the top of oil or water based finish Follow the instructions of your contractor or look it up yourself if you have doubts

Flooring supply store should know the difference between cleaner and polish ????

The background music drowns you out.

Wow music is overpowering your voice, but thank you!

My floor looks very dull after 17 years I need something to bring back to shine

This was a good video, but that music was entirely too loud and it was hard to hear you when you spoke

Is this real hardwood?

thoughts on Basic Coating's Squeaky cleaner?

Why does it look as if you used a bottle of water. Instead of Murphy
