Fixing the Bona Hardwood Floor mop

This is for those with the bona hardwood floor mop. If the piece on the base that connects the mop to the stand should happen to pop out.

[@HeidiRohde-d9s]

YESSSSSSSSSSS! You are my hero for the day. I've been trying to jam this thing together for the last 30 minutes before I came across your video and fixed it in literally 5 seconds. Thanks!!!

[@mahyaz9656]

Almost going to trash it before watching your video. Thanks for your thoughtfulness and generosity. Together we can have less trash on our beautiful earth.

[@janisrigby6638]

Thankyou for showing how to do this. I had been grappling with this issue for days. After watching how you do it, I fixed mine within seconds. Thanks again. Kind Regards 🤗👍🙋🏻‍♀️

[@Ksbelle4god]

You are a jewel.. Impossible to get snapped back ! Thanks a bunch.

[@pattiekomperda4456]

Like everyone else said I’ve been trying for days to fix this thing. THANK YOU so much for posting this video. Just saved me extra $$ for a new one. 🤗

[@veritas0461]

Bless you, my child! Thought I was going to have to buy a new one. Cheers for making this video, you saved my day! 🙏

[@erinmrahman1727]

Thank you so much! I have now come back to this video a second time (over a year apart) to remember how to do this. Bona should be paying you for this - less calls to the hotline!

[@katiehansen7333]

Dang! I needed this. 8 years later, your video lives on lol thanks!

[@hammockbliss]

Thank you for posting this video. That is a super easy solution that I would have never figured out without this video. MUCH appreciated

[@Choco11233]

Thank you! Just been struggling for the past 20 mins. What a thoughtless design.

[@annhelmut7661]

Thank you for posting this! The last thing I wanted to do was run out and buy another one. After moving chairs etc. out of the way to get started, I wanted to scream!! I was fortunate to coming across your video. You're the best!!

[@brendawilson1468]

Wow, I wanted to throw it out the window UNTIL I viewed your video. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten us all!!!!!!

[@jenniferweidele3485]

I was 2 seconds away from throwing my mop in the garbage! thank you sooo much!

[@terrysinnett7027]

Thank you! Like everyone else, couldn’t work out how to do it. Simples, when you know! Thank you for taking the time to post 👍👍

[@vivwoolley1147]

Thank you! It just happened to me too, and after trying the hammer, screwdriver, etc. tricks (no breaks though, thank goodness), I turned to KZbin and found your helpful information. This just saved me a trip to the hardware store for a new one.

[@samt3508]

You are an ANGEL! Ten years later, and this just rehabilitated one of the (many) things my movers destroyed during my recent move. This is one of those times when one small victory feels big. I think this is also the only resource on the entire internet that even acknowledges this problem! THANK YOU!

[@elizabethsalvage4338]

Oh my gosh, I looked here out of desperation and there you were. Stupidly I was removing the pad while holding the mop sideways and bumped into the wall, which made the end fall off. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Thank you!

[@puckzilla]

You helped me today, almost 6 years from your original post. :) . Thanks!

[@gingerkelly1308]

OMG!!!! I'm cracking up...just got done beating on it with a hammer and my husband said, "why don't you check on youtube?" And here you are with the simple repair! Thank you!

[@duesno]

WOW! I had the same problem happen on 1/26/20. yes I got out the hammer and banged on it a few times and realized hammering it was NOT going to work! So I googled the problem and saw your post. GREAT JOB! My common sense was beaten down with the hammer but you have restored it!!! THANKS!

[@ruthcrittenden8259]

oh my, how easy once you showed us on the video - thank you - took 2 seconds vs the 20 minutes we had been struggling!

[@aliciakemp1518]

OMG, after working up a sweat trying to get this back into place, I thought that this couldn't have just happened to me and that hopefully someone put up a video on this fix. So glad that I found this on youtube, I was getting ready to go buy another bona mop.

[@Reddheade]

You are the BEST!!!!! Also, fyi,that end piece comes off the pole. There are two silver tabs you press and viola! Then you can easily bend it over your knee and reconnect easily, no long pole in the way! I also had tried every crazy way to get that thing back in there!!!!! YOU SAVED ME!!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@LisaOxford66]

Thanks for this KZbin video!. This is 10 years later - we just hired a cleaning company to come in and do a deep clean of our home as a birthday present for me. After they left -and not until the next day - I find our Mirage Hardwood cleaning mop sitting on our workbench down the basement (similar to yours in this video) with the handle and the base separated into two parts. We struggled to try to put them together again which would have entailed a hammer at a certain point and I decided to check KZbin first. (My husband's first response after trying to get them together after 2 minutes was "Ok, let's just buy a new one" which is his answer to anything that he cant fix within 2 minutes and without breaking a sweat. So I watched your video and thought 'Genius! - who would have ever thought to try that?' And it worked! So thanks for saving me the trouble and cost of replacing the whole mop! I have subbed :)

[@susiequinlivan9544]

Thank you! I was so frustrated! I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't figure this out without a video!!!!

[@brandicrisafulli5221]

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I just tried for over 45 minutes to get the darn mop back together. Thank you so much for this video!

[@bapalways8565]

Wow! Here I am going nuts and decided to check online for help in fixing it. It was so simple I felt stupid. Thank you.

[@ammm2124]

Thank you so much for making this video. It is common sense once you see it but I thought I needed a new mop

[@ataliewilliams9980]

THANK YOU!!! I've been swearing up and down trying to get this thing back together. Thank goodness for the Internet and for you. I appreciate this!

[@mommybobo]

I was trying to bend it with my hands, but your comment about the knee saved me!!!

[@pamelamorrow3383]

Oh my gosh - just on a whim I thought I'd check to see if I could find something to help me with this problem. Thank you so much, I was getting ready to go buy another one!! As you said, so easy when you know!

[@michaelscichlids9609]

Thank you for making this video so long ago. You saved me a lot of headache.

[@marynielson1705]

Thank you! You were the ONLY video that showed how to do this.

[@prettynessss]

Thank you for sharing . I was struggling with mine for days and thought of buying a new one , but I'm so glad i found your video . Thank you again .

[@BrijeshYadav-vl7bj]

The only video that solve this problem. Thank you for posting this.

[@laniec.f.2531]

I just bought one of these mops yesterday to clean our brand new hardwood floor. The same thing happened on our end, and we broke a tab trying to push the head onto the handle incorrectly -our fault. In trying to find replacement heads online, I happened across this video. I question why the geniuses at the Bona company don't add this tip to their instructions as a way to help prevent this problem, because it appears that it happens quite often. Thank you for taking e time to share this tidbit. Love your attitude... ha ha.

[@k8sview825]

seriously THANK YOU!! i pushed, i stood on it, i hammered, i cursed...and then i found your video demo and had it fixed in 30 seconds.

[@kailynmontieth9259]

You literally just saved me world's of frustration with this video. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@tnksummer]

Thank you! I'm so glad I thought to look here. Didn't look too hard on the Bona website, but didn't need to. Thanks for saving me from the frustration you had. AND for taking the time to film this. Very sweet of you. :)

[@snocat22]

I LOVE YOU! I am laughing because it is easy when you "know" and definitely sooo frustrating when you don't. I was looking at buying a new one and didn't want to change to the new model cause I really like mine. Also you saved me the money. I loved your video! Thank you!

[@karen-margrethebruun9865]

Thank you for posting! The hammer was being used to no avail. It’s fixed now thanks to your tip.

[@Kai-uj5go]

I pulled mine out of the socket about 20 mins ago and after struggling with it I decided to Google it hoping I would find an answer your video saved the day thank you so much!

[@Tootsierohl]

Thank you so much for this! It's so simple but no needed!!

[@slinman100]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have rolled all around the den floor trying to reattach this. I had about given up when I did a search and came across this video. The solution is so simple. Hopefully I'll remember this for next time!

[@stephanielarkin4556]

Thanks so much! I was going crazy trying to figure out how to get that thing back in there! Bless you for posting this!

[@lesliepistone2218]

Thank you! six years later it helped me!

[@ladellweinbach5467]

5 Stars and MANY THANKS to you. My mop came apart on the first job and it was frustrating because the floor cleaning product was actually giving me the results I was looking for. No way I EVER would have figured this out, so thanks for taking the time to share with others.

[@marcywells1724]

8 years later... THANK-YOU!!!! :)

[@MsCharlieRox]

Thank you! I was all set to buy another one right before I found your video!!!

[@carollennox6850]

Thank you so much we also had the hammer out,different brand of mop same principal didnt think I would find a video was almost going to bin it!!!!

[@cindybrophy]

Thank you! I've wasted so much time trying to fix this, so I appreciate you taking the time to post this video!

[@alliedurham5668]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! It is common sense but I had LITERALLY no clue and almost broke my finger trying to get the dang thing back in.

[@jacquibateman1446]

I was just about to break out the hammer, but I saw you first. Like you said, so simple once you know! Thank you :)

[@4lifeGodloving]

Thank you!! Your instructions was simple but very helpful.

[@TheTaxburden]

thank you so much! our got attached to a rug. was stick like hardcore Velcro. went to pick it up and this happened. so glad I found you video!!

[@TreyT16]

Thank you so much! This is like one of those "think outside the box" things, where the solution is obvious if you know it/figure it out right off, but if you don't, you try a lot of other things that don't work! Now, I'm back to mopping!

[@GailTom1]

Thank you for being so thoughtful to help others. I really helped me.

[@evt7674]

OMG! You are wonderful. After trying for days decided to google it and found your video. Thank you!!

[@soulbarn]

Seriously, you rule. I couldn’t figure this out and now my wife thinks I’m a genius. Thank you.

[@jessicapichardo979]

Haha! You are so welcome!

[@ladydani05]

Thank you a million times! This was driving me nuts. I felt really dumb lol. It took all if 2 seconds after watching your video

[@carolnickel2416]

Genius! OMG! I was running hot water over mine, trying to soften the plastic! You're the best, and yes, it's a b*t#! to get back together without your help!

[@cynthiapriester6147]

Thank you you really made something that appeared to be unfixable to something simple to repair you saved my day and time.

[@chrisharris4482]

holy moly thanks never would have thought of that saved me 40 bucks

[@Propofoladventures]

This is exactly what I needed! It looks like if the handle will stay attached you can still keep it and use as a back up if bona let’s you keep it

[@WhoaNick]

HOLYYY FREAKING CRAP! this video was a miracle! I was damn frustrated cussing out my entire empty house. So glad there was a specific video like this to help lmao!

[@jeangentile882]

Thank you so much! Worked like a charm and made total sense. I never would have thought of this on my own!

[@xdj1]

absolutely brilliant. After I recover from my stupidity induced depression I will mop.

[@chloezimmerman2441]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I couldn't get it until I tried that trick.

[@MrAreaRugs]

I LOVE YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!! I almost broke my clavicle trying to put this back in then you solved the puzzle. THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU ROCK.

[@susanheineman8318]

Awesome! Tried it before going out for a replacement and it worked! Figured if it broke I was having to get a new one anyway.

[@zyqdl]

You are wonderful! Thank you very much for this. It saved me more frustrating intents. Thank you!

[@thecretanbull4784]

Thanks that helped me out big time!!! You’re an angel!

[@JazminHernandez-vw4hl]

Thank you so much !! Honestly !! By you posting this video really showed me how to fix something I never would've known how to!! You're truly a lifesaver,because these mops are not cheap at all ! Appreciate it

[@kevindickerson6614]

You're AMAZING for posting this!! Three of us were stumped and shocked to find an exact video for this problem. You saved the day! I was going to start using power stomps and possibly hammer fists...

[@michellelaub4693]

Thank you! Was ready to throw the mop away and figured I'd try to google it and your video popped up!

[@sc353]

I had my hammer in my had trying to beat this thing into submission when I found your video. 20 seconds later the mop was fixed. Thanks very very much for taking the time to post this video.

[@victorianewton9715]

thank you for posting this! what a pain in the neck. bona should make this easier!

[@Raeness28]

Thank you! I've broken the pieces off mine trying all sorts of things to get it back in!

[@michypurrrfect]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! was so incredibly frustrated trying to force it back in for 30 min and this took 2 seconds. and now i feel like an idiot haha

[@captain_bowie]

I have been fighting that thing for a half an hour. Thank you so much!

[@stacygreene3473]

THANK YOU!!!!! I've been messing with this for several minutes and decided to hit KZbin!!! So glad you shared this video. I can now use my mop!!!! :D

[@sonajanveja]

Thank you!!!! This video was exactly what I needed today!

[@msmac3333]

Thank you for sharing. Definitely seems like common sense now that you showed us. :)

[@KimberlyB0611]

Bless you! I actually took mine apart because I had set the mop head on carpet. When I pulled it off of the carpet, the Velcro stuck to the carpet fibers and bent the head "wings" down in the middle so it wouldn't sit flat on the floor anymore, and therefore, didn't mop well. I took the head off, bent it back the other way, and then couldn't get the head back on the stand. Ugh.

[@billtokar8109]

Holy crap! You just saved me another $18!!!! Thank you!

[@tannaconway9694]

Thank you thank you thank you. It helped a bunch. We have broken a piece on ours too. Wow wow I did try binding it a bit but it didn't work. Guess now I need to put some muscle into it. Lol. Thank you. Seen these are $73 now.

[@elizabethbox6014]

Thank you for posting this. I've been struggling with this for an hour.

[@kev4heels]

Thank you! I did break mine last time and it just popped out on the one I bought last week! This saves me yet another $30.00. Thanks again for posting!

[@beejensen]

Thank you so much! Mine broke today and I saw your video! All fixed. :)

[@debbiedavidson3586]

Thank you soooo much. You saved me a lot of time and frustration.

[@martinertel6232]

THANK YOU !!! Obvious now you point it out but so frustrating when you don't know.

[@markschnyder9830]

Thanks! Was just about to grab the hammer, but searched for a video first and found yours!

[@msbea6769]

THANK YOU!!! I am so grateful for this. Was going nuts.

[@zenymuse]

Brilliant! Thanks so much for posting. You really saved me a lot of time (and frustration)! What a sweetheart you are.

[@maryespelage4739]
