Nice quality review. I use the Bona for work and it's great for certain types of floors and quick clean ups without having to grab a buck etc...To make it easier to change the water you put a little lubricant around the O-Ring at the tip of the reservoir. If it stops spraying properly you put a little WD40 down the second half of the stem. I've been using mine over a year and it's still kicking. The finish it produces between the "misting" spray and the pad is very good, just have to get the home solution right. I use a cleaner called "micro blast" because I can get that from the supplier at work (cheney) without having to acquire bona spray which would be out to fast and cost much more.
Some of the houses I clean are over 3000 square feet and the whole place is nothing but wood floor ansd the Bona spray mop does the big job easily. I dont think the Bona spray mop is only good for light cleaning and little spills, this mop is a work horse and I use it daily on my cleaning jobs. I love this mop and wouldnt trust any other mop in my clients home, I have tested and have proven over a long period of time that the Bona Spray mop is the best out there.
You have to buy the "wood floor" cleaner for wood floors. Wood floors obsorbe moister so that's why you have to clean them with a lubricating cleaner. Regular cleaner has alcohol and other chemicals that can dry out and break down wood floors. Please don't knock the mop until you have tried the right solution.
Oh good to know, I’ll have to try that - but I’ve used all kinds of cleaners in the o’cedar & it didn’t seem to make a difference- which is why I assume it’s the cloth, but as I said, over all I still like the bona & that’s what I use for my quick cleans. Thanks for watching :)
My ocedar bottle has leaked since day one. Bought a generic one and no leaks!! All those chinese mops like ours are pretty much the same. Just rebranded.
Hello, I Have No Issues With The Bona Mop. I Had Old 80’s Vinyl Flooring. And Now We Have Tile Flooring. I Love The Bona Mop. Not To Say The Other Is Bad. I Just Don’t Care For That Bucket. Nice Video… Ty, Rosie
Oh darn! I haven’t had an issue with that, but I guess it depends on how long you are using it for. I’m sure the Velcro would wear out after several years of daily or weekly uses. That happens with my kiddos Velcro tennis shoes usually after a year or 2 😆
I accidentally put my videos up out of order, which is why this review went up today instead of last Thursday haha! Opps! Thanks for that tip! Now that I’ve had it a few weeks I’ve noticed that it doesn’t happen if I am doing an entire room at once, so I’ll have to use your tip for the quick spot mops! Thanks so much :)
Looking for a replacement for the O'Cedar ProMist, which works fine when the head isn't constantly detaching. Even a gentle bump against a piece of furniture, and off it comes. I'm so over it.
Oh wow! Yeah I didn’t have that issue with my o’cedar BUT it did end up breaking from being dropped - and as you heard me say in the video, it completely leaks now. Did you make sure it is attached correctly? The cloth for the mop head can be placed on backwards - I know because I did that at one point haha! HOWEVER, The bona mop is a GREAT replacement option! I haven’t had any issues so far!
@@ChristinasHome If you want a really clean floor then it is necessary to put a little muscle into pushing whatever mop you are using. Gliding lightly over the floor will never produce good results.
@@jameshagy9944 I don’t think you should have to push down hard on a small glide mop, I’d be worried I would damage it 🤔 But I’m also not an expert :) So do what works for you! :)
I have so many different mops. I want to try the bona (but maybe not) or the other one you have. You could never have enough cleaning tools. But I am looking for a spray mop, that will make me put down the rest.
I think as long as your floors aren’t too crazy dirty, (like If they aren’t in need of a major deep clean) OR if you are able to find another pad for the bona, it could do that for you... personally I really enjoy the bona but I just feel like a thicker pad (like on a traditional mop) makes me “feel” like my floors are cleaner... if that makes sense? But I have no actual “data” to prove that, my kitchen always looks clean & shiny after using the bona. But I always feel like I want a little “extra” when it comes to bathrooms... I wanna really “feel” like I’m doing some major cleaning in there - like how I feel from having super hot water in my mop bucket... so I’m not sure if my floors are really cleaner from that VS a spray mop but I always just feel like they are
It has a Velcro connection...so just change out the pad ....there's different pads... different brands that makes it easier....or measure the pad and sew your own.
I’d rather just have one that works well, since many brands do 😆 But I have since found out that these are supposedly meant to be used wet - like pre-wet then use, which seems odd but that’s what I’m being told by other users. So then they glide smoothly, once wet & rung out
@@ChristinasHome ahhh I get it. It's like the issue I had with my daughter's spray mop....the pad works great...it was the cleaning solution that sucked. Left the floor sticky. So I dumped it out, at the risk of her being upset with me about that, and mixed up what I usually use for my regular mop at home. That worked out well. she said I don't know what you use but the floor is not sticky so yeah fortunately I had made a video on what I mixed up so that way if she asks I can easily share but yeah clean solutions that lead the floor sticky and then when you look at the directions it says "rinse the floor" but it's made for a spray mop that doesn't require rinsing.... you know they sneak those details in there in the really, really small print.
Keep in mind wood floors and laminate are two different kinds of floors. Wood floors need to be buffed and waxed and cared for more than a laminate or tile floor. Im only trying to let you know because if you are putting in real wood you want to keep it in good shape longer for property value.
Hope you guys enjoy today’s video! Let me know if you have any questions about this mop! I’ve had it a few weeks now & I love it way more, the more I use it! :)
Yes I had no problem with it. Also, I will say that if you are doing the whole floor at once, the bona doesn’t stick as much because the cloth is more wet
Pros . about the Bona mops excellent you can reuse the pads and get as many pads as possible I have 15 of them have used them for a long time and I just keep re-washing them cons . overtime when you spray the solution out the solution doesn’t come out unless you apply pressure to the bottle and sometimes the trigger hangs up to the point where you can’t get the solution to come out of the device. I will be on my third Bona mop due to problems with the device. Also be very careful with that Bona solution on your beautiful floors Bona has a tendency to leave a heavy residue on hardwood floors as a professional cleaner I honestly stopped using that product because it left a lot of my clients floors hazy looking overtime and I switched over to a product called Bruce. I only use that product once every few months on my clients floors.
Yeah I love that both of them are reusable, but my bona seemed to break pretty quickly. (Well it didn’t fully break but it didn’t spray as well) My Ocedar broke also but I think that was mainly from me dropping it all the time😆🙈
Quick physics hack, it's harder to push than pull, that's why the rollers they use on football grounds are pulled. There's the whole Trigonometry of sine theta blah blah. But, pulling is easier than pushing when force is applied at an angle.
Hi, I do not work for these companies. So maybe try emailing them on their website? My guess is that you will need a whole salers license to do that, typically these companies will have a minimum of a certain amount of units to be whole sale, which could be 1,000+ units but again, I am not affiliated with these companies in any way, so I do not know anything about it - just guessing based on my knowledge of how whole sales works
🤔 but when I fully wet it, in advance - then it didn’t have any friction… so I’m not sure if that’s it. I don’t have a swifter but its only slightly larger than the O’cedar one - not enough that it would be noticeable - it’s slightly longer but also it’s more narrow (not as wide)
I enjoyed your video but I have to disagree about the Bona mop and what you said about it. The Bona spray mop is the best spray mop out there right now. I use mine daily because I clean forz a living and I really work this mop. It cleans very well but like with all mops you have to put a little lean into it as you push it. Any mop that just glides on the surface easily isnt doing a good job at cleaning anything up. Of course floors that arent as glossy would be easier but the Bona mop works great on floors that arent glossy as well. I clean both glossy floors and non glossy floors daily and I dont have a problem getting both types very clean as long as I put a little muscle into it. Also the blue Bona cleaner is only for hard wood floors, it isnt meant for laminate floors as you suggested. Bona has some green cleaner that I use in my 2nd Bona spray mop that cleans laminate, vinyl, tile and other non wood surfaces extremely well. Have a great day.
I actually recently had someone explain to me that if I wet the pad ahead of time, then it works better. They stated this mop was intended to be used that way. I tired that & liked this mop WAY better, but I wish there wasn’t an extra step. I did not like it on my wood floors very much, but just moved to a house with laminate flooring & have been enjoying the bona mop it quite a bit more here! So I think the type of flooring you have makes a difference, though I’m sure using different cleaners with it makes a difference as well. The wood cleaner is what I bought, because I had wood flooring. But I think there are a bunch of small things that make people love 1 mop over another & that is why so many different companies are able to be successful & also why a lot of us have multiple mops (because we like different mops better for different things) That’s just my opinion anyways. Again I’m no mop expert, just going off personal experience with my own home & limited knowledge of what brands are out there - I’m trying new things all the time now & enjoying finding what I like. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!!

Oh awesome! Thanks for the tips!
What kind of lubricant?
BONA said that you must take the microfiber pad and run it under warm water first then ring it out and
It will slide easily across the floor
Oh I’ve never seen that on any other stuff! Thanks for the tip!

@@ChristinasHome never dropped the ocedar. Rubber seal may have been warped. Who knows.
@@Adeline9418 Maybe so! I drop mine like crazy! haha (usually because I leaned it against the wall or a counter and then it falls down)

Hello,
I Have No Issues With The Bona Mop.
I Had Old 80’s Vinyl Flooring.
And Now We Have Tile Flooring.
I Love The Bona Mop.
Not To Say The Other Is Bad.
I Just Don’t Care For That Bucket.
Nice Video…
Ty, Rosie
Yes! I like it much better on non-wood floors! (Then I did on the wood) Thanks for watching Rosie! :)
I love my oCedar spin mop for the same reasons. I need to get something for my quick spills and cleaning.
Yes! It’s so handy!
I love the bona cleaning liquid but over time the pads start to fall off when cleaning due to some problem with the velcro.
Oh darn! I haven’t had an issue with that, but I guess it depends on how long you are using it for. I’m sure the Velcro would wear out after several years of daily or weekly uses. That happens with my kiddos Velcro tennis shoes usually after a year or 2 😆
Excited to hear what you think about both.
Thank you! Appreciate you watching, hope it was helpful!
Would you still recommend the O Cedar spin mop and spray mop?
Yes! I prefer that for most jobs now that I have tile floors (moved to a new home)
the handle was broken for me when I received it from Amazon. really pissed me off. have to get a new one. ugh...
Ugh! That had to have been annoying!
Wow! I didn't know they had a mop. It seems really nice and easy to use.
It really is!:)
If my o'cedar should happen to get cracked, I would just use a separate spray bottle, or possibly just use a spray all purpose cleaner
That’s a great idea!
I have this mop as well. What I do is wet the pad in the sink with water first.

Soun mops aren't practical. They're messy and bulky to start with. How is that practical????!
My only concern is whether this is leaving soap on the floor. I guess it does. Is that bad?
If you’re concerned with that, you can go back over the floor with just the suction. It shouldn’t leave soap in the carpet if you’re using it properly
