Waxing Wood Floors
Cleaning with solvent-based liquid wax leaves a
thin wax coat on floor. Paste wax may be used to clean
floor if not too dirty (has less solvent than liquid
wax), and will provide more wax protection. A thin coat
should be applied and buffed thoroughly with electric
polisher; unpolished wax is smeary and slippery. Always
polish with grain of wood.
In between waxing applications, floors can be re-buffed with
polisher to renew shine. Heavy traffic areas that look
dull can be renewed by re-waxing those parts of the floor.
