I was told to use bruce one step no-buff acrylic finish for my floors. since i cannot find that particular product, can this be a good substitute?

I didn't want a hard finish on my old hardwood floors as the shine showed every flaw. I used this wax which gave it a hard finish but a beautiful mellow glow. It is easy to use. Pour a little and rub it with a damp cloth in the direction of the grain. Then I give it a quick rub with a dry cloth. I really like it. I didn't like the Johnson's One Step Acrylic.

The green pad will strip the finish off your hardwood floor. It is very coarse and I used it to scrub my concrete floor in the basement after a flood. The least abrasive pad available on Amazon is the white one, but even that may be too rough. There is also a terrycloth "bonnet" that is used for polishing floors. I would try that with a non-abrasive solvent to avoid damaging the finish. Can you find out from the builder what the stuff is on the floor and Google how to remove it safely? Best of luck!

I use these two products on a paint enameled dining room table. Also, I use on acrylic contemporary end tables - works beautifully. I would try it on your panels, it should work. The polish will protect from water as water will bead up. The product is marketed for boat polishing.

I am pretty sure you'd have to sand fiirst. This finish will be a lot different than the original finish. OSMO soaks in rather than sits on the surface like polyurethane. My guess is that the bruce floors are finished with polyurethane. I use this finish on all the furniture I make. It's beautiful

No, it does not give the high shine I was looking for. I first used it straight but it made my floor sticky. Now I use it diluted (1/2 water) and it leaves the floor less tacky (but still is a little). No shine. For hardwood floor, I used to use Pinesol (diluted) and I received many compliments that my floor was shiny. For other surfaces, I find Bona Multisurface works the best and it gives the surface sheen with no stickiness.

I wish I had some dark paste, because I have dark colored floors. I've been using the light paste on mine. But my guess is, unless you have serious scratches on your light floor, the dark paste shouldn't affect your color. It would only do that if there was a scratch to penetrate. Otherwise, it's just a wax finish

I have both sealed and unsealed floors and has worked on both. I use every few months once the shine wears down. Now that I have sealed floors I prefer other products but this works particularly well on older style floors.

I have both tile and wood floors, and the Swiffer does a great job. As for applying a gloss, I would imagine that you could use your own cloth with product. The dry Swiffer cloths are meant to trap and hold dirt, not to apply any kind of finish. My wood floors have a permanent finish, so I have no need to apply anything else. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I use this only on my hardwood floors and it is great. If my floors are dirtier than usual, I add a little more polycare than the label calls for, and it always gives the floor a great shine. My hardwood installer recommended this many, many years ago and it is all I ever use. You can also buy this in a small version first to see if you like it.

I wouldn't use this over wood. Maybe finish floor polish for wood? I have used the acrylic polish for non wood floors to finish a lot of product s. But I wouldn't use glue.

Yes. I tried another product and went back to Quick Shine. Quick Shine really does the job. The company also sells a floor wash that removes old products.This takes a few applications but it is easy and worth it. Apply the quick shine and your floors really do smile!

We used this material on Arizona Buff stone floors and it worked great. We also used it on our tile shower and it worked great. We used the cleaner made by the same company first then applied the sealer. This product will leave a glossy finish which is what we wanted. If you want a satin or flat finish use something else.

I always make the assumption with wood floors that they have polyurethane for sealing and any waxing that needs to be done - I did myself. The Swiffer product really is more for general maintenance then it is for FULL cleaning of the wood floors. When I wanted my floors done fully I would buy the BRUCE HARDWOOD floor product available for a Home Depot or Lowe's. Then, in between cleanings and on a regular basis, I would use the Swiffer WetJet Wood Product for dust and general cleaning.

Hi Elaine, I don't know, is the short answer. I bought this to add shine to my otherwise scratched up wooden floors and the shine is great. Also, it is not slick which I love. There are other products they make that would probably be better for cleaning laminate as they have a lot of laminate floors in Europe where I believe it was originally made. I would check the site and they should have a number to contact them. This is a GREAT product for floors so don't be discouraged by my response. It is well worth calling to find the best product for laminate floors. I know they must make it. Good luck! Susan

I addressed this same issue with our flooring installer. My understanding is that the Pro Series is a bit more concentrated and works better at eliminating the dirt and build-up on the hardwoods. I read the other answer and I would disagree with the harder finish comment. We have Brazilian Walnut floors and part of the reason this is the only product recommended by our installer is because it does not leave a residue or finish on the floor. It simply eliminates the dirt and lets the natural beauty of the wood come through. I'm likely giving you more information than you want, but if I could make a suggestion that will save you some frustration. Run a little broom vacuum or Swiffer over your hardwoods prior to using your Bono. Hope this helps!

I used this product on an old black slate floor which I had stripped off 35 years of cheap sealant. It does a beautiful job. I then used Miracle Matte to bring out better color. I can 't speak to your exact situation , but it is a wonderful product .
