Our rich history:
The difference goes back to our roots
Bona’s heritage has shaped who we are today. What started in 1919 as a small family-owned grocery store in Malmö, Sweden –– that also made a protective polishing agent for wood floors called, “bonvax” –– has grown into a multinational company with a presence in over 90 countries.
In 1919...
Our story began over 100 years ago with Bona’s founder, Wilhelm Edner. At the time, his first love was selling coffee at his small grocery store in Malmö, Sweden. Little did he know that 'Bonvax' would become his best-selling product.
In 1953...
Bona released a new breakthrough product on the European market: D-503 Floor Sealer!
In 1959...
Bona moved to a wonderful new location: Malmö, Sweden.
In 1974...
Bona expanded into the world of adhesive production, opening a plant in Limburg, Germany
In 1979...
Bona became a pioneering force in the hardwood flooring industry by creating the first waterborne finish, removing toxic and hazardous chemicals from the product, and proving itself as a viable alternative to competitor products.
In 1984...
Bona launched its first UV-finish, making our debut on the pre-finished market arena.
In 1987...
Bona enters the U.S. market!
In 1995...
Bona begins development of own dispersions and introduces Bona Mega.
In 2002...
Bona enters the retail floorcare market, offering a range of floor cleaning solutions to consumers. These products have continued to be developed and are now available to Australian home-owners.
Did you know...
Efficacy is of paramount importance at Bona. We use the best ingredients to meet the highest standards, resulting in floor cleaners that are very effective without being harsh.
Did you know...
Not only are our floor cleaners super effective but the rinse-free, streak-free formulas don’t require a bucket of water. In fact, the Bona Spray Mop uses 97% less water than a traditional mop and bucket.1
Did you know...
You can get 500 uses from one Bona Microfiber Pad. Most competitor’s mop pads are single use disposable. So if you multiply the single-use cost by 500 that’s a massive overall difference in dollars!
Drop the bucket and pick up the Bona Spray Mop
Why lug around a heavy bucket of murky water and a dingy, old string mop, when you can enjoy the light and easy, carefree option – the Bona Premium Spray Mop? Say farewell to outdated methods of mopping, and say hello to the mop that makes sense!
Bona Spray Mops make the process easier
The Bona Premium Spray mop is the new, modern way to clean your floors. Simply spray with a pull of the trigger for the perfect amount of Bona Floor Cleaner, then start mopping. It’s that simple!
String mops are difficult to manage, dirty, and cause damage
The old string-mop and bucket method is not only exhausting; it’s frankly unsanitary and bad for your floors because:
- You’re using a mop head that never gets clean, and you’re using bucket water that doesn’t stay clean. The result? Dirt and bacteria get pushed around on your floor.
- Excess water can cause wood floors to cup, and it may damage the finish. Plus, water is being wasted by the litres!
The Bona Microfiber Cleaning Pad: no rinsing, no wringing
Our spray mop includes Bona’s Microfiber Pad with Dual-Zone cleaning action to break down dirt particles and trap them away. That combined with our rinse-free, streak-free floor cleaner leaves floors sparkling clean. When you’re done, toss the cleaning pad in the washer. It can be washed and reused up to 500 times!
Sustainability

Bona refillable bottles help reduce plastic waste
Bona bulk refills save plastic by reusing the same trigger pack, it's common sense!
Bona Microfiber Pads eliminate waste
Bona Microfiber Pads are made of 90% recycled material. This saves huge amounts of virgin plastic every year.
Bona Spray Mops save water
A Bona Spray Mop uses 97% less water than a traditional mop and bucket, and saves 647,000,000 litres of water per year.
The smarter difference
When you save with Bona, the little things add up to big things
At Bona, our thoughtfully designed system of compatible products not only respects the planet but also respects your time and budget. Our durable mops, crafted to endure, work hand-in-hand with refillable bottles to reduce waste and save you money, while our larger mop heads promise quicker cleaning times. Plus, with microfiber pads that can be washed and reused up to 500 times, we offer a smarter, cost-effective solution for keeping your home beautiful. This means less time spent on cleaning and more time for you to enjoy living life to its fullest.
Save water
A Bona Premium Spray Mop uses 97% less water than the old mop and bucket routine. As a result, they save tens of millions of liters of water every year. While you help to conserve water, you are also avoiding potential water damage to your floors.
Save money
Thanks to our reusable microfibre pads, which can be washed and reused up to 500 times, you can save a lot of money. Add to that, using Bona Floor Cleaner Refills, you save even more, not to mention plastic that is kept out of landfills each year.
Save time
Due to our extra-large mop heads, you save time when you clean your floors, as you cover more space in less time. Additionally, when you use Bona Floor Cleaner Refills, it adds up to fewer trips to the store since refills last longer. And because of our reusable microfibre pads which can simply be tossed in the washer versus the bin, you save trips to the store as well as times taking out the rubbish.
Because better floor care is better home care
Choosing Bona isn't just about getting the best floor care; it's about making a smart investment. Our easy-to-use, highly-effective products save time and ensure quick, stunning results. And our higher quality solutions mean not only will your Bona products last longer; they will help extend the life of your floors.
