Can this be used on wood floors sealed with Shellac? Specifically Zinsser Bulls eye Amber Shellac? Thanks for your time.

This product is for hard wood that has been sanded and then coated with a clear shellac type coating

That's an excellent question that I don't know the answer to. It's and emulsifier that strips oil and dirt from surfaces. So if your hardwood floors are real wood with a waxed surface I would advise against it. But if its Pergo flooring or an imitation wood I would go for it at 15 to 1. If you have stained areas you can always treat those with a higher concentration spray and wipe clean.

I have only used this on upholstery and (very carefully) on a leather couch. No problems with either one. Have not tried this item on hardwood floors, though we do have hardwood in our house. I would worry that the extremely high temperatures might damage the sealant on the floors. If you try it, let me know how it works out.

In my opinion, wood veneer isn't a good material for conditions where it can frequently get wet or be subjected to heat or abuse. You may successfully apply it over Formica but it would be a very fragile surface. Shellac isn't a very durable surface finish and you would need to reapply it frequently. I think you would have greater success with a matte or semi-gloss varnish finish if you choose to try the veneer surfacing.

I did not use this product on a wood floor. I used it on a tile floor. The product works best when mixed 1:1 with hot water then soaked into a paper towel and allowed to stay soaking on the wax for about five minutes. Use rubber gloves. Sponge or mop up the solution and then use a plastic scraper to remove the softened wax. On a wood floor you will need to be careful not to scratch the wood or over soak the floor. Good luck.

While I've never used it on my hardwood floor, I have used it on my cabinets very successfully. On the bottle, it says you can use it on wood. I've used it on practically everything listed on the back of the bottle - but mostly on laundry. I order it in packages of 6 bottles at a time. This is really a great product, and I don't believe you would be disappointed!

I would not use this unit on un-sealed wood floors. I would not use it on wood floors of any kind because of the risk of water going through the getting under the wood.

It is a sealer style of paint that dries hard so I think you could use it over old wood. Make sure there is no grease on the wood or the old paint. It is generally clear or light colored depending on whether you buy clear or "Orange". Do remember that shellac turns white if it gets wet. So it is not a good bar top surface. For the tray you would need something more water proof.

I never try vinegar & murphy oil. Bona works for me my floors look like brand new. I clean them once a week with Bona & dust them every other day.

Not sure I would use this on hardwood floors, unless you have/use a buffer. Since it is a wax, it is best left on to dry, then rubbed off. I use Murphy's oil soap on my floors, and have good results.

You can use it on any sealed surface. Considering, that finished wood floors, tile, laminate, linoleum are all sealed surfaces, this product cleans the surface. You not actually cleaning the wood, you're cleaning the sealed surface on top of spots and debris that can wear down the finish.I have a polyurethane finished dining room table that I squirt the bona cleaner on and wipe off with paper towels.Floor cleaner is like water and Windex mixed, you're cleaning the same as spots off glass.

to be honest i dont really know but I have always thought of shellac as inside stuff. You might want to look at an aerosol spray spar varnish.

I don't know how to answer that question because this product is a cleaner. It says "Specially formulated for all no-wax, urethane finished hardwood and laminate floors." I'm sorry.

I would say yes. The floor should have a non porous surface. I would not recommend using on an open grain wood floor such as an unfinished oak floor. I highly recommend this product! It lasts a long time. Two to three coats seems to give the best results. Make your final coat as thin as you can get it. Good Luck!!

Regrettably I can't answer that question becase we never put it directly on hardwood or painted wood surfaces. HOWEVER, putting some on a small yogurt lid works well. We also put ours directly on tile surfaces without damage. My husband uses the yogurt lid and slides that under furniture where our dogs can't get it. The small yogurt lid can be placed on window sills behind the blinds, too.

The instructions suggest checking with manufacturers of wood floors before using. Also suggests an inconspicuous area to test before proceeding. The steam cleaner can be used for fabric, upholstery, etc. and other surfaces that can be exposed to water and temps of about 212 degrees. So far I have used my Wagner on my bathroom tile walls, floors, shower and even the counter tops, mirrors, toilets. I cleaned the top edge of my tile (up against the painted wall) with no problems. I dried the area immediately and did not use the power nozzle tool to keep from damaging the paint. I don't know if I would use it on wood paneling or a large painted wall area. Would want to test area myself and not sure which tool could be used on these areas without damage. There is a squeegee, a somewhat coarse brush and three other tools that provide a smaller more intense pinpoint of steam. Hope this information is enough to help you make a decision.

I use the beeswax on my copper sinks to protect the patina, it works very well. I make stained glass and have used it on pieces that are outside on the zinc. I have not noticed a smell, so if there is one it is not noticeable. I have used this beeswax for over 2 years and it works great but I have not used it on wood.
