Applying wood floor polish can create problems if not done correctly. And for years we didn’t recommend floor polish because we saw how much of a problem it is — if not used correctly. Many hardwood floor cleaners contains acrylic polymers. The issues is that most people don’t realize they need to remove the polymer/polish from the prior cleaning before applying more. This causes the polish to build-up over time, which is nightmare to remove.
Hardwood Floor Wax Removal Franklin, TN
Years ago, one of our first hardwood cleanings turned into a disaster. A client in Brentwood, TN had been ‘cleaning’ her hardwood floor with an acrylic-based polymer (think mop-n-glo or rejuvenate). At the time we were using Basic Coatings test kit, and it failed to give us realistic instructions.
The instructions told us to check for wax in an inconspicuous area. This is exactly where homeowners Do Not apply cleaner or wax. So the test showed we were fine to start cleaning the floor. Immediately the floor turned grey in the area were cleaning, and the wax started peeling off like a bad sunburn.
The customer wasn’t happy, and we understood why. After having her dig out the floor cleaner she was using under her kitchen sink, it was actually a stone floor cleaner that included wax. I should note, she had been applying this wax for over ten years! We agreed to remove all the polish on her floor, which took a few days. Looking back, it was great learning moment. And if you have us test your finish, we will test it in the most obvious areas.
Hardwood Floor Composition and Finish Testing
Before cleaning your hardwood floor, we examine its composition to see if it contains fiberboard. This type of floor can still be cleaned, but the amount of water we can use is limited because fiberboard quickly swells when wet. After a composition test, we look at the finish to see if it is one of the several finishes, such as polyurethane, tung oil, shellac, or top coats like acrylic or other wax and oils.
