What Bona Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner is made of, ingredients and materials
Bona Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner is a water-based liquid concentrate formulated for dilution before use on sealed wood, vinyl, laminate, and stone floors. The concentrate contains surfactants (cleaning agents), water, and pH-buffering compounds typical of hard-surface cleaners; no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or organic solvents are listed on the product label. When diluted per instructions, the working solution is low-toxicity and designed for safe indoor use around families and pets.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Skin and eye irritation from concentrated form
Undiluted concentrate may irritate skin and eyes due to surfactant concentration; label warns against direct contact. Risk is managed by proper dilution and handling.
Ingestion hazard (children/pets)
Like all cleaning products, accidental ingestion can cause gastrointestinal upset. No specific toxicity data on this product is publicly available, but the water-based formulation is not expected to cause severe systemic poisoning.
Microbial growth in diluted solution
Diluted water-based cleaners can support bacterial or mold growth if stored in warm conditions for extended periods. Prepare working solutions fresh or store in sealed, cool conditions.
What’s reassuring
Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions
GreenGuard Gold certification confirms low VOC content in the finished product. Water-based formulation is inherently low in volatile solvents.
Chemical residue on floor surfaces
No surfactant buildup or residue hazards have been documented for this product when used as directed on sealed floors. Rinsing may reduce any residual film on some surfaces.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Bona is a privately held floor-care company with a long established presence in professional and consumer markets. The brand holds GreenGuard Gold certification for this product, indicating third-party testing for low VOC and chemical emissions. However, Bona has made no public statement on PFAS content or absence, and ingredient transparency beyond regulatory minimums is limited; the company does not publish a full ingredient list or independent safety data sheet accessible to consumers.
How it compares in its category
Most water-based floor cleaners on the market share similar formulation patterns, dilutable concentrate, surfactant-based, no strong solvent odor. Bona's GreenGuard Gold certification distinguishes it from unverified store-brand cleaners, and its reputation among flooring professionals suggests consistent product quality. Compared to oil-based or solvent-heavy floor finishes, this water-based cleaner carries lower chemical exposure risk per use event.
If you buy it
Dilute the concentrate strictly per label instructions to avoid skin or eye irritation from undiluted product. Use in well-ventilated areas, though VOC off-gassing is minimal. Store the concentrate in a cool, sealed container away from children and pets; the concentrated form is more irritating than the diluted working solution. Replace the bottle if the seal degrades or liquid discolors, which may indicate microbial growth or separation.
