HOW TO SAEFLY REMOVE HARDWOOD FLOOR WAX | HOW TO GET POLISH AND PRODUCT BUILDUP OFF HARDWOOD FLOORS
I POLISHED MY HARDWOOD FLOORS and regretted it after a while. My HARDWOOD FLOOR became DULL and SPLOTCHY after a while and I just knew the HARDWOOD FLOOR POLISH HAD TO GO. If you are in the same situation, not knowing what to do, I'd love to help you with my video today. I did the homework and research and I will show you the TIPS AND TECHNIQUES ON HOW TO STRIP WAX SAFELY FROM THE HARDWOOD FLOOR TOO.

These two products helped restore our floor back to its beauty after using Weiman's Polish & Restorer. I did not know that the product would build up causing a cloudy look and film. This was the ONLY thing that helped.
I am so glad to know that my video helped you Shirley. I'm beyond grateful for your message letting me know that my video helped you. Thank you 🙏 Hope you will enjoy and find other solutions in all my other videos
After you removed the polish on your floor with these two products, did you need to apply a sealant on your floor afterwards?
@@fabiennepalu-benson6112 I did not. And they are still so amazing. I have not had any issues.
Did you use any polish after to restore shine?
I was quoted $3500 to refinish my pre-finished hardwoods after 2-3 coats of Rejuvenate. It took longer than a minute to get the wax to come up, but after lots of elbow grease, the came to their original shine. They look brand new! It does make quite the mess! I had a roll of paper towels and a plastic bag handy to pick up the clumps of wax. I also vacuumed prior to using the sparkle. I steamed my floors, too. They now are amazing and in their original state!
I love that you are a non toxic cleaner! I really appreciate it from someone who has a young kid & a pet!
Thank you Halle ♥️ How are you? I’m not sure how I just not seen this message from you. I’m sorry about that. Thank you for your support ♥️
Thank you so much!! We did use this and made our 20 year old hardwood clean again and we didn't have to spend the money to call a company. We really appreciate you!
I have old floors with build up of wax and have been loooking for this forever! Thanks going to try this soon!
Your video saved my life and my floors. We used Revive and they were wrecked. These products are amazing. Thank you!!!
I've been searching for months to cleaning up polish from wood floors. Thanks for sharing.Im excited I finally found something that I can order and try out.
It works very well. Just remember small sections and move quick, not to let it sit for too long. 🙂 let me know how it goes.
Thank you so much for this video. I am a “lifestyle coordinator”, I run errands, clean, carpool kiddos and much more. I have several cleaning clients that have an awful buildup from the same product. I am a non toxic cleaner as well. I have been looking for something natural to dissolve the buildup, but I guess I have to give in. Thanks again!
My pleasure. I did so much research and testing. Finally I found that solution and for it to be the best one. My hardwood is finished hardwood though. Your friends probably is too but I didn’t do it on non finished. Let me know how it goes for them. Thank you for reaching out. And we definitely have our lifestyle in common 😉💖
I’ve needed to do this for a long time, but so wary of ruining the floors; will now dive in and get them done. Thank you for the video!
You're so welcome. Judy little water and work quick is the key.
It does take a little bit of elbow grease but it is worth the results.
Remember friend, do not let it sit on your floor for too long before you wipe with the cloth.
Please keep in touch and let me know your gorgeous results. Send me a picture in Instagram @ myranda_avhvan
Wow so glad I found this...I used Holloway house and didn't realize it would build up the way it did but loved the finish. I found their product for removing the coating and haven't had a chance to use it yet but now I want to try your method! Excited to get my floors back to how they were when we built the house surprised to say lol
I’ve been looking for a video like this to help me strip the tile floors in my small kitchen and bathroom without using the commercial grade equipment. Thank you so much!
You're so welcome!! I'm glad I could help ♥️
Hey girl!!! This was very informative. I don't have hardwood floor but I really enjoyed watching. Your floors really do look beautiful and brand new once you were done!!! 💗
You’re right, it was gorgeous at first. Thank you for this instructional video for removal of the polish.
My pleasure. Thank you!! I hope it was helpful 🙂
Hey girl! Here watching while I do some cleaning this morning 💕
I just followed this procedure and I have to say it worked amazing. We were so frustrated for so long that we almost had new floors installed, but I figured what the heck for the price of the gallon jugs of chemicals I would give it one more try. It took up all that Bona polish with ease. Thank you so much for posting this. This simple video saved me thousands.
I can’t thank you enough for making this video and sharing your info! I followed exactly what you said, but put the cleaners in spray bottles because I was afraid to pour a lot of liquid on my floors, and it worked!!!!!! I was about to give up and call the professionals. It completely got rid of the awful floor shine polish I put on years ago and was never able to remove! A million thanks!!
Oh my goodness!!!! 😍😍😍 I’m so happy!!! 👏 Your idea of putting the solution in spray bottles is genius!! I’m so glad you told me about that! I’m so happy you got that off your floors. I bet your floors look gorgeous again!! Mine are still looking great. I’ll never use that Polish again ugh 😣
Congrats! You are the first "real person" like me to research (that I know of) and find the perfect spot between DIY and Professional Cleaners! I am subscribed and I have gotten the names of the items down that I will need on my over 100 year old hardwoods! It seems like such a sham that Bona, Rejuvenate, Johnsons Paste Wax, only put layers on your floor to dull it and then you have to get professional strippers and waxers to come to your house because no one makes these products available to the public, unless you go looking! I can't wait to get my floors clean! Thank you!
Oh my gosh you said that right!!!!! That is EXACTLY how it goes!! We use the product and then when it's dull and built up and/or splotchy in the high traffic areas, we are left only to hire a professional stripper. Interesting isn't it?? 🤔
That is why I did the research. I was shocked about this. I'm so glad you reached out! Thank you too for Subscribing 🙂 I hope to hear from you again! Good like on your floors! They'll turn out beautiful!
This is a great video Myranda, I love the detail that you gave, because this was definitely an indepth and hard task. Your floors look great, this is amazing. I have thought about polishing mine with that stuff you were talking about in the beginning, I'm so glad that I didn't Because I don't know that I would have the patience to undo after seeing all the hard it takes to remove it. 😀
Hey Mel 💖💖💖 I’m glad you are here!! Thank you! I do not recommend polishing the floors. It is a HUGE task to undo and looks bad after a while of it being in there. Just good care is all they need. They are beautiful the way they are already originally.
Thank you! It worked using Zep Stripper and ammonia. Followed the same instructions using different products including Zep cleaner. I’m expecting my floors steamer this week. Your video is🔥. Professional suggestions was to sand it. So grateful you offered this video to others!
Could you go into how you used the zero stripper and ammonia method?
Thank you for this. I have old hardwood floors that probably need refinishing( which we have done in the past) but I put lots of wax and need to remove it, I’ve been researching but this looks to be the easiest way so thanks again. I’m going to try it soon!
This really revived my floor to look like they once did. I did so much research and patch test before I did them. I had high expectations but was still shocked at how beautifully this worked. Please keep me posted on how yours turn out.
Thank you so much for making this video my floor is back to normal 💃💃💃
Best, most helpful video on this subject I've found. Thank you!
Like A Pro!!! 🎉 and using professional products that we use in the industry is rarely seen on TH-cam how to videos. Basic coatings brand , dissolver and squeaky are the best. Hats off to you! 💪😊👌
Great video. Thank you. I am working on my hardwood floors in my house and this has been very helpful.
I'm so glad to hear that!! How had it turned out?
This is awesome!! We have the same problem and have been looking for a solution to remove the build up.
It works!! It’s work but will be like new when you’re done. ♥️ Thank you 🙂
A million thanks for your information, it worked like magic on our hard wood floor.
Awesome Sauce! I'm gonna do this next month in Oct thanks for this in depth video. I'm stay at home single father with my boys. Ty so much
Strong man! I’m glad to have you here. I used to be a single parent as well. I hope my videos help with motivation for your everyday life with your children.
Ahhh first comment! This was so helpful my in laws just recently had this problem so I’m sending this video their way ! This was so satisfying to watch ❤️
Thank you my makeup queen!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy to find you, I will try this on my vinyl floors that I ruined after using the rejuvenate product on it, I hope to have the same results as you do.
Please let me know how it works out on vinyl. I know it can be used on hardwood and laminate but i cant find anything about squeaky on vinyl. Please just remember small sections and move fast so it doesn't sit long. Good Luck. I am looking forward to hearing back from you 🙂
Did this to our floors and came out amazing. Did exactly how she said. Thanks
You are so welcome!! I’m glad it turned out great for you Brenda. Thank you for letting me know 🙂
@@myranda_achvan hi Myranda. I am a hardwood flooring guy and was checking out wax removal videos. I found this video. You did a great job. I would like to offer one piece of advice. When you apply the dissolver. Only apply it one section at a time. Usually about 50 sqft at a time. It will help with not letting it set on the floor too long. Other than that. Excellent job.
@@hardwoodfloorrefinishing9469 Im so grateful for your advice 🙂 Thank you for letting me know.
@@hardwoodfloorrefinishing9469 I was going to suggest the same thing.
@@hardwoodfloorrefinishing9469 Great advice, thanks for that tip! I'll do that!
This is exactly what i need... i have the exact same floor, and i used rejuvenate shine on it and it looked shiny for sure... but now after a while i get those spots that are very annoying... im following this video.... thank u i’ll let u know how it went.
I moved a rug today that was a small area I did not do and it reminded me how glad I am to have gotten that off. I’ll never go back to that. I hope my video helps you to remove yours too.. I would love to hear how it goes.
thanks....I have been using my Bona polish like crazy so NOW I gotta strip....great video...I am a HOUSE DAD....
Hands down, you are a champ! Being a stay at home parent is one of the hardest jobs! But it also comes with the biggest rewards. I love being a stay at home. Thank you for your message 🙂
Well done! You saved yourself a lot of $$$. Just FYI, the edges more than likely raised from the amount of moisture. Most lay back down as yours did. 5 stars!
You have a lot of flooring through your home it’s beautiful thanks for sharing 💚 x
Hey Tina!! ♥️ it’s a lot of mopping but it’s pretty. Thank you 😊
Omg I wish I would have seen this video before I used wax in my floor. I thought my floors were ruined!!! Thanks I will be doing this soon.
I’m so glad it helped. Let me know how it goes when you do 🙂
Came across your vid and holy hell, it fixed my floors right up. No more "polish and restorer" for this guy. Funny thing is our floors look identical. Cheers. Two spray bottles, two microfiber mops, bammo. Looks like new (and matte, yay).
You are so amazing!!! Thank you 🙏 I appreciate you!!!! Do you mind if I pin your comment??
@@myranda_achvan of course not!
Thanks for this. So helpful.
Thank you! I’m so frustrated with the same problem…only my floors were sad to begin with..then I polished, then they were shiny, and now they’re HORRIBLE…I’ll try this….soon hopefully we’ll get LV Planks…..thanks again!
You're very welcome. This process made mine look new again. If your floors are in that condition, I'd love to hear if they look better after this process even than they were at the beginning.
Oh my goodness!!! You just saved my life and hundreds of $$$
😁 🤗 I'M SO HAPPY FOR THIS!!! Thank you for letting me know 🙏🫶🏼
Will have to try this
Hi Myranda - Thank you for your in-depth video on removing wax off hardwood floors. We recently purchased a home where the previous owners waxed the hardwood floors around their area rugs, so we have areas of built-up wax where they had no area rugs, Ugh. I just ordered the Dissolver and the Squeaky cleaner to tackle this job. Thanks again.... I'll let you know how it turns out.
Hey Mary! Congratulations on your new home!! I’m so glad my video can help you with that. ♥️ I’m looking forward to hearing about your results. Just remember to do small patches at a time and move quick.
@@myranda_achvan Thank you, I will keep you posted.
Interesting thank you
Thank you for this! I cannot wait to do my floors. They’re brand new, only a few years old and I polished them only to destroy them. They’re so dull now. I so desperately want the “barely there”shine they originally had when I bought my home!
I know. I completely understand where you are coming from. They will be like they once were when you get the Polish off. Mine are almost like bran new. The only difference of them is just the random that everyone gets over time.
What kind of polish are you using, I keep reading similar comments and I want to make sure I don't use this polish on my hardwoods. I sweep, then I swiffer, then I vacuum what is left behind and lastly I use a slightly damp micro fiber cloth and clean the floors as a final step. I hope I am doing enough to keep my floors looking good.
❤ whow I will try
Absolutely impressive. Congratulations 🎉🎉👏👏🎉 Very proud of you 🏠😁
😍Thank you!!! 😃
I have been worried about using these products because they don’t clarify if it is a wax build up remover or a clear coat remover (which is more like polyurethane and not meant to be removed unless you are sanding and starting over with new stain and poly). So thank you. And thanks for clarifying about the sticky feeling going away and steam mopping is so clever. I would have had a panic attack if that happened and I hadn’t watched your video. No I feel pretty confident. Thanks. We all need to do what we can to save money.
Your home is beautiful thank you for the information
Thank you Natasha 🙂
Thank you,....I used Rejuvenate over and over again....it only looked good in the beginnng then my floors started to peel in spots and look 'gummy'....Great Video!!! You can also rent a buffer
Thank you for letting me know about that! 🙂
I’m encouraged that you did it the way I would (walking all over it and towel on the foot lol) so I’m hopeful that even I could do it thanks
😊
Nice video! Great instructions 🤙🏽
Thank you!! 😃 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍷
Hi Myranda,
I have exactly what you had! I polished with Bona a few times thinking I was helping cover up scratches from the dogs. It was shiny and beautiful as you said, AT FIRST, then it went downhill from there. If the dogs drooled a little we would have spots that would eat the wax away. If you pulled out the bar stools it would scratch off the polish, or just high traffic areas like you said. It looked awful. I have been researching and I found you and although I have not tried yet, it is going to be my next project. Going to order the supplies and get it done. I will get back as soon as I can with my results. I’m in Michigan so it’s cold right now, so instead of sweating, I may freeze with the windows open but so be it, at least the floors will look beautiful! Thank you for such an informative video. 😄
Yaaaas!!! It is super cold there 🥶! You will get cold but it is SO WORTH it!!! The reasons for me polishing with that Bona was also because of dog scratched/grooves and to protect high traffic areas but it did the opposite. It just became a huge mess and pain in the butt. It looked so bad and not too long after I did it. Yes, please let me know how got goes. Our floors are still great here since I have fixed this issue. I loved reading your comment ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thank you, you left me smiling 🙂
What you are describing, seems to be much of what I am experiencing! So glad I have the secrets to DIY and I'm ordering my stuff today!
Exactly what happened to my floors... going to try this soon myself.
Thank you for this. I have more traditional hard wood with this same problem. I hope it will work for me. I am going to try this on an small section
I hope it will work well for your hardwood floors too. Just make sure to be quick in the process and small sections at a time that way the solution doesn’t sit too long in any area before you get to it. Let me know how your test spot turns out.
@@myranda_achvan thank you so much. I just ordered the supplies. I am so hoping this will work for me. The hard wood is through most of the downstairs and all connected. If the test area works our well I will document the process through photos for you. Thanks for this video letting me know it is possible to do it myself. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
You are so welcome!!! ♥️
Great work.😀
Thank you
I bought a lightweight scrubber/ buffer. Velcro spinners, attached fake steel wood, nylon scrubbies that came with unit, can attached anything you want as long as hook and eye and change at end to buff. Much easier than the mop, lightweight and I can sit and do. In my seventies.
What lightweight scrubber did you use?
just bought the stuff...I'm trusting you Myranda...just subbed your channel....thank you
Thank you friend. You'll be ok. Mine are still great with no issues since. Just use less water than I did. Also make sure you do small sections at a time. That's key. Let me know how it turns out!
What are you using after the cleaning process to reseal and bring back shine ?
Awesome video
Thank you 🤗♥️
Thank you for this informtion!!
You're welcome 😉
Dito na muna ako habang hinihintay ko bagong vlog mo..miss your vlog already..🥰
KATANGAHAN mo Kim 🤗♥️♥️💕😙🤗
@@myranda_achvan Random Filipino reading comments 8mos later. And your response is so wrong!😂 I am sure you didn’t mean that.
Great video thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you! My pleasure. I’m glad it was helpful. Thank you for reaching out and letting me know 🙂
Hi Myranda. I have lived in two houses that had hardwood floors and many of my friends have hardwood flooring. Plus I have sanded my hardwood floors myself. From what I see these
are not hardwood floors. Rather they look like vinyl flooring made to look like hardwood. In fact I saw some vinyl flooring that looked just like yours. This looks more like a commercial
for these two products!!
I’m going to try
How did it go? Have you don't me it yet?
Beautiful
Thank you 💞
Ty after you did the removal and clean did you apply a polyurethane oil or water base?
I am so excited to try this. So tired of the wax buildup on my floors. Where did you purchase the dissolver and cleaner?
Hey Graze 👋 I totally get how you feel. I hated it too. I'm so glad it's off. I'll never go back to that wax again. I put the links in the description box under this video to help. Let me know if you need help finding them. Thank you for reaching out 🙂 I can't wait for you're floors to come back to life for you too.
Great video. Could you please recommend any other wax removers? I need to do this, but I cannot find this brand locally. Thank you ❤
Awesome, I needed this. Do you have a suggestion for the Dickey that ends up under area rugs, from the rubber thing? It leaves a residue. I think I’ll try the dissolver
Thank you 🙏 The Murphy's oil soap works great on leftover rug adhesive!
I wonder if this would work with a LVP floor? I have nasty buildup on mine.
When you are saying removing polish is that referring to old paste wax? Thanks!
You probably could have used a small wet vac for pickup. Looks good.
I have been using bona floor cleaner and polish and when I steam clean the floors it gets hazy and white so I’m hoping this works to get the floors back down to bare floor.
So that is exactly what I had been using as well and is what led me to find this solution. It worked for me 100 percent. They went back to what they were when we first moved in and since I made this video, they look just as good. No issues at all. Please let me know how everything went. Good Luck 🙂
I cannot thank you enough for posting this video. I had to do the work twice but now my floor looks incredible. What are you using now for everyday cleaning product? Are you using the remaining squeaky, your old Bona product or water and vinegar? Thank you for your help on this matter also.
Thank you!! I appreciate you reaching out! I really hope you will , I hope you will consider subscribing for future helpful videos with me.🙂 What I have found to be best is a small bit of fabuloso and O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop. I ring the water to the extreme and dip and teeing often when mopping. I have tried pretty much everything and this is what I found to work best.
@@myranda_achvan
l wanted to mention the Fabuloso, and that spin mop is a real time-saver too. Works 100% to leave a slightly damped only mop. So glad you made this video, l look forward to the next one. 🥳✌🏽
@@BlueOriginAire thank you so much 🙏♥️
Did it take any of the poly off with the dissolver stripper.
Crossing my fingers I’m going to try this
We had some mildew build up under a protective mat that was under our office chair. I unfortunately applied a 1 part bleach and 8 parts water spray to kill the mold and in doing so took the varnish off the satin finish (flat finish like your floor) . Then applied Mimwax Tung oil finish thinking it would be like a flat finish but it turned out to be shiny. Would this product strip the finish off so we could apply a satin finish instead? Your help would be most appreciated. Susan Stephen
Susan,, to start,. Seriously,, thank you for reaching out.. please tell me what kind of hardwood you have and I will give you an answer. Is it engineered??
Where can I get the 2 products
So do you have any idea how many square feet a gallon of dissolver and squeaky will treat? Great video, thanks so much!
Whew!!! 😅 I can look the the directions and let you know.
Does this work also for engineered hard wood floors? I have dill waxy build up on my floors
Can you use a wet/dry vac to suck up the dissolver instead of using a towel? Thanks
My dear, I'm sure that would be ok too. I only went with the towel bc that it was the directions advised.. but your solution sounds much more professional. I would have tried for sure. Just make sure that once it's sucked up it is filleted as well. As with adding water and sucking again with the dry vac.
I have a wood floor with a polyurethane varnish. Is it safe for the varnish?
Ammonia. Ammonia. Ammonia. Water based floor wax "polish" dissolves instantly with zero scrubbing in ammonia. Lay it down wet and let it sit 5 minutes and then mop the floor with clear water.
Can confirm, this works. Be very careful you don't drip Dissolver somewhere and let it sit. It WILL eat through the original coating and leave a dull spot. Otherwise, this is as easy as it looks. Follow the video.
Also, I used a garden sprayer to distribute. If you do the same, don't be stingy! You want a tiny bit extra than "thin layer".
If did work. I haven't had any problems since I'd done this
What product do you use for regular Maintenace after stripping the floors? If not Bona/Rejuvenate, etc- what product do you suggest for everyday cleaning and protection from wear and tear?
Bruce is a great hardwood floor cleaner I don't trust anything else with Real Hardwood floors 😊
Do you have a product for cleaning grout on tile floor.
Hey Barbara! Sorry for the delayed response. Had some things recently come up unexpectedly. I use grout-eez and absolutely love it. It works like a charm and without intense scrubbing. Please let me know if you give it a try. I’d love to know what you think.
I hope this video helps you out and helps also to save you a lot of money too! Best of Luck! 🙂
Hi! I made the mistake of using quick shine on lvp do you think I could use these products?
Absolutely!!!!
Hi I’m in the UK and I can’t find the products you have used, any idea of alternatives for the UK ?
Thanks so much loved the video
Im going to check now. I'll do my very best to try find a solution for you.
Jongro (this brand by the directions seems very similar to Dissolver) I copy pasted the directions because they ask to use acetic acid as the solution after to break up the dissolver where I used Squeaky. I hope this helps.
Another I seen was Clover Remove
How to remove floor polish
POLISH STRIPPING:
- Dilute 250ml per 5 litre of hot water.
HEAVY BUILD UP:
- Dilute 500ml per 5 litre of hot water.
- Apply with mop or machine tank.
- Leave for a few minutes, machine scrub with stripping pad.
- Remove slurry, rinse with clean water.
- Neutralise floor before applying polish by adding a solution of 20ml acetic acid (vinegar) to 5 litre of water
- Damp mop the surface.
- Allow to dry.
After you removed the wax/polish on the floor, did you put something on it afterwards or did you keep it as is? After a while does the floor remains as good as after you removed the polish?
What a great question!!! YES!!!! My floors have remained as is with NO ISSUES.. This was the best thing I have done ever in my home. I couldn't be happier (and I'm an obsessive) just to let you in on the satisfaction...
I read almost all of these comments and it seems that people need to realize there is a difference between engineered hardwood vs solid hardwood floors. That is the reason your beautiful floors was able to withstand that level of moisture and water and not be totally damaged. If your floors would have been solid hardwood, your moisture issues would have been a lot worse. Still in the end your floors came out beautiful and if I buy another home I would consider engineered hardwoods vs solid hardwoods, because I have experienced issues with my real hardwood floors due to moisture problems in my home.
I agree. I always let everyone know that the only thing I would do different is to do it with less water. Thank you 🙂 I agree about hardwood vs engineered hardwood. The shrinking and expanding is a lot less too. It's easier to work with and looks very good. It's a good way to go.
@@myranda_achvan Thank you beautiful!! 🙂
@@ToOpen6seven 🙂
THANK YOU, you just save me $1k!
My friend!! You are so welcome!!!! 🤗 I appreciate you taking a moment to comment your thought. I appreciate that! Let me know if I can help further.
Hi Myranda, thanks again for this video. I have a follow up question. I've watched a few DIY floor stripping videos, and they always seem to use some kind of scraper to get the sludge off the floor (after letting the stripper emulsify the wax for a few minutes). But you are just using a towel in this video after the Disolver does it's work. How is that possible?
And do you think you could the stripper/wax sludge off the floor with a shop vac?
Well the stripper dissolves and lifts the product from the floor entirely. There is no reason to scrub or scrape it off. When I did it, I could see how the solution changed. It looked like thin milk. At that point, just to wipe off the solution is all you need.
You could use a shop vac. But still, you would need to put the squeaky on after to stop the activation of the dissolver.
@@myranda_achvan That's what I suspected. I have about 1500 sq feet of mop and glo to get rid of, so this video is very helpful! Thanks so much
I just put Quickshine on the floors for Christmas...looks gorgeous but not putting more coats.
Yes, it really gorgeous!! Please let me know how it works out. I'd love to know if it wears off in a nice way. Thank you for reaching out' 🙂 I'm very happy your here Bernie.
@@myranda_achvan
I’ve been using Quickshine for about 13 yrs now on natural wood floors. The owner(we rent) previously had buffed, stained and sealed them, but they were kind of dull. This was over 20 yrs ago. There are spots from furniture drag marks, not scratches. It’s just where the wax gets removed. Can I use this to strip the wax on natural floors? Quickshine has never faded or dulled my floors. I may apply every several months, with cleanings in between. Only place that it shows up dull is if my small dog tinkles on the floor. It’s like the pee strips that wax. Can I use this as a spot stripper and rewax?
Great video.
My daughter put wax on
some part of my vinyl plank
floor and it looks horrible.
Do you think I can
use the product you use for removing the wax on my floor ???
😄lol, I bet it does. Yes, you absolutely can use the products on Vinyl. It's says you can on the back of the bottle. I checked.
Thank you
Where did you get it.
@@ELPASTORAPOSTOLICO you're welcome 🙂 If you click on my title under the video, the description box will open and the product link is on there. Each one come from two different places. I go through to make sure it's the best price so they are up to date. Let me know if you need help, I can find another way to get it to you.
That’s very kind of you.
I will check the link. If I don’t find it I will let you know.
Thank you for your time.
Where can I purchase these products?
How do I apply new wax to make it come back shiny again? I only have mop & bucket? After I mop up, should I apply coat of wax? Then shine?
Well. I don’t like wax because it is very difficult and time consuming to keep up with. It’s also very hard to make it even on the floors. I did it and had to take it off. If you do still decide to wax your floors. I believe you are suppose to do small sections at a time. You quiet the solution into an s shape on the floor and mop it in. Just make sure everyone is asleep, no one can walk on it for a long time.
Hi we’re I can find that’s products I really need
Hey Miracle!! I just looked online to find the cheapest place to order the dissolver right now. I posted the link into my description box. It’s from a website called Basic Coatings. I originally found it from the Walmart website but it is currently 20 dollars more. You can also find Squeaky in my description box as well. Please let me know how it goes ♥️
Do you have to hot steam it afterwards? I don't have one of those yet.
No. You don't need to steam mop. It's not necessary. I did that extra step and afterwards I realized I didn't need to.
Where do you buy the scrubber mop thing
Hey!! Amazon I believe is where I had purchased mine
Would you be kind enough to let me know where you got your Dissolver product from? I can find the squeaky but not the Dissolver. Thank you
Absolutely!! If you touch the arrow under the right side of my video, the description box will drop down and all the links for any item will be there.
Good job! However don't steam mop wood floors. It's a lot more likely those boards were lifting due to using the steam mop then from the dissolver. The stickiness was left over residue from the dissolver and you just needed to mop again with the squeaky clean.
Thank you Brandon. I definitely stop using that steam mop. You're right. It is not good. It says it's ok for hardwood but it just isn't.
@@myranda_achvan It doesn't look like you have hardwood, you have engineered hardwood. You are technically steaming compressed cardboard underneath a veneer of composite wood. Steaming real hard wood should be fine, but generally it is unnecessary if you have them sealed.
@@MapSpawn I LOVE how you explained engineered hardwood!!! It made it beautiful in laymen term. Thank you. This is very good and nice to know 🙂
I watched this video and want to try this. I put down Rejuvenate high gloss restorer and it made it smudgy. I looked online how to remove and I used glass cleaner. It worked somewhat but now I have areas that are shiny and some dull blotchy areas. I'm wondering if it took off my wood finish. Do you think the dissolver will do this? I'm still trying to figure out how to fix my floors and am worried. Once I start something I need to finish it so I'm asking for your advice. Thanks. :)
I have the same exact problem! Did you use this process? Did it work evenly? How are your floors?
@@courtneydodson1090 Yes it worked. It's a lot of work to scrub off but it did work!!
