Bona Polish Remover – Powerful Concentrated Floor Polish & Sealant Remover
The **Bona Polish Remover** is a powerful, concentrated floor stripper designed to remove accumulated polish, maintenance coatings and scuff marks from a wide range of water-resistant flooring surfaces. Developed by Bona for professional floor care, this effective polish removal solution provides an efficient way to prepare floors for a fresh application of polish or floor refresher.
Regularly polished floors can develop layers of maintenance product over time. While polish is designed to protect and enhance flooring, repeated applications can eventually result in unwanted build-up, dullness or an uneven appearance. Bona Polish Remover helps tackle this build-up, allowing the old coating to be removed so the floor can be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for its next treatment.
Suitable for compatible **wood, vinyl, linoleum, tile and marble floors**, this concentrated formula is an excellent choice for professional cleaners, facilities managers, floor maintenance contractors and domestic users looking for an effective floor polish stripper.
Powerful Concentrated Formula
Bona Polish Remover is supplied as a concentrated solution, allowing it to be diluted with clean water before use. According to Bona's technical data, the recommended dilution is **1 litre of concentrate to 5 litres of clean water**.
This concentrated format makes the product economical to use, particularly when treating larger floors or commercial premises. The solution can be prepared according to the level of polish build-up and the requirements of the floor maintenance project.
The product is designed to dissolve accumulated polish and maintenance coatings, making them easier to remove mechanically with a suitable brush or scouring pad.
Removes Built-Up Floor Polish
Repeated applications of floor polish can eventually leave several layers of coating on a floor. Bona Polish Remover is specifically designed to tackle this build-up.
Cleanfast describes the product as capable of removing **up to three coats of polish**, making it a practical solution when floors require a deeper maintenance treatment rather than another layer of polish.
Removing old polish allows the underlying floor to be properly cleaned before a new maintenance coating is applied. This can help achieve a more consistent appearance and prevent old, deteriorated layers from affecting the finish of a new application.
Effective on Scuff Marks
In addition to removing polish, Bona's technical information confirms that the product can also be effective for removing **scuff marks**. ([Bona][3])
Scuffs can develop through everyday foot traffic, furniture movement, footwear and other routine activities. On busy floors, these marks can make otherwise clean surfaces appear worn.
Using an appropriate polish removal treatment can help restore a cleaner-looking surface before the floor receives its next maintenance treatment.
## Suitable for Multiple Flooring Types
One of the main benefits of Bona Polish Remover is its versatility. The product is designed for use on suitable water-resistant flooring, making it useful across a range of domestic and commercial environments.
Suitable flooring applications include:
* Varnished wooden floors
* Vinyl flooring
* PVC flooring
* Linoleum
* Ceramic and other suitable tiles

Bona specifically describes the product as suitable for water-resistant flooring and notes that it is adapted for wood while also being suitable for many tile, vinyl and linoleum surfaces.
Always check the manufacturer's care instructions for the specific floor before use and test the product in an inconspicuous area.
## Ideal for Professional Floor Maintenance
Bona Polish Remover is particularly useful for professional cleaning and floor maintenance applications where floors need to be periodically stripped before being refinished.
It can be used in:
* Offices
* Retail premises
* Hotels
* Restaurants
* Schools
* Commercial buildings
* Healthcare environments
* Community centres
* Residential properties
* Property management facilities
* Professional cleaning contracts
Its concentrated formulation and broad surface compatibility make it a practical product for cleaning companies and facilities teams responsible for maintaining multiple floors.
Water-Based Formulation
Bona Polish Remover is a **water-based** floor polish removal product. It is designed to provide effective removal of accumulated maintenance coatings without relying on a solvent-heavy formulation. Bona also describes the product as having a non-offensive odour.
The formulation makes it suitable for use as part of a controlled floor maintenance process where old polish needs to be removed before the application of a new protective treatment.
Low-Foaming Performance
Bona's technical information describes the remover as having a **low-foaming formulation**.
Low foaming can be particularly beneficial during floor stripping because excessive foam can make it more difficult to see and work the solution into the floor surface. A controlled solution allows the operator to concentrate on loosening and removing the old coating efficiently.
Simple Application Process
Bona Polish Remover is straightforward to use when the manufacturer's recommended procedure is followed.
Step 1 – Prepare the Floor
Remove loose dirt and grit from the floor before applying the stripping solution. Ensure the floor is in sound condition and that any protective seal is intact. Bona specifically warns against allowing the remover to enter open gaps in wooden flooring, as this may cause permanent staining.
Step 2 – Dilute the Concentrate
Dilute **1 litre of Bona Polish Remover with 5 litres of clean water** in a suitable bucket. Prepare a second bucket containing clean water for rinsing.
Step 3 – Apply to a Small Area
Work in manageable sections. Apply the diluted solution to a small section of flooring and allow it to work for approximately **five minutes**, giving the product time to dissolve the accumulated polish.
Step 4 – Agitate the Surface
Scrub the treated section using a hard-bristled brush or suitable scouring pad. This helps loosen the softened polish and maintenance coating.
Step 5 – Remove the Residue
Wipe away the dissolved material using a mop and clean water. Continue working section by section until the entire floor has been treated, replacing the rinse water frequently.
Step 6 – Final Rinse
Once the polish has been removed, rinse the floor once more using clean water. All traces of Bona Polish Remover should be removed before applying a new coat of polish or refresher.
Use Water Carefully on Wooden Floors
Although Bona Polish Remover is suitable for varnished wooden floors, extra care should be taken when working with wood. Bona recommends using water restrictively on wooden floors during the stripping process.
The condition and integrity of the existing floor seal should always be assessed before treatment. Floors with damaged finishes, open joints or unsuitable coatings may require specialist assessment before a stripping product is used.
Helps Prepare Floors for a Fresh Finish
One of the main reasons for using a polish remover is to create a clean, suitable foundation for the next stage of floor maintenance.
Once old polish and residue have been completely removed, the floor can be thoroughly rinsed and allowed to dry before a compatible polish or refresher is applied. Removing old layers first helps avoid trapping dirt or incompatible residues beneath the new maintenance coating.
