Hi Cam, this product is good for wood floors with poly . I use it every two weeks on my heart pine floors. It seems to give a luster that looks like it was freshly cleaned. The wax does not build up like a mop and glo type product . Perhaps it sinks into the wood floor I have used it in oak and pine all over my house for years. A varnished top would be ok too. I use it on teak boat cabinets and have been very pleased. It is slippery once applied. Not for steps or floors where little children run in socks. Also not for dancing school floors because of slippery finish but it is beautiful. I hope this helps. Susan Hi Cam, this product is good for wood floors with poly .

Not to be used on poly finish. I would not use it on varnished floors often. I use it to touch up varnish. I use it on my oil finished and plain floors.

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 used it on polyurethane finish hardwood floors. Love it, bring out the beauty again. I have dogs and they bring in sand which was taking the finish off where they laid down. I only use it about every other month and it lasts a long time. Highly recommend.

Not if you clean it up in a reasonable amount of time. I spilled some on hardwood but cleaned it up within a couple hours and it was fine. It just gets sticky after a while so you may need Goo-gone or something to help

This is a great produce but I think you have to use it on unfinished furniture or fuiriture that has been stripped. I am not sure it will work well over an existing finish such as shellac or varnish or polyurethane.

Yes, if you follow the correct procedures for application. The work depends on how the surface absorbs the polyurethane. When I used it on oak, it took three coats sanding lightly with 220 grit sand paper between each coat. Use a tack cloth or clean damp cloth to wipe all dust off between coats. Best applied with a foam brush. Do not place in direct sunlight on a hot day to dry or the finish will bubble. And have fun!

Haven't tired on wood. Used on vinyl siding and composite deck flooring and it works beautifully. As for wooden decks flooring or any wood product can't say. Check directions given on container to see if there are any warnings regarding wood. With the success I've had using the product I would have to see with a small area of spare wood product testing and then leave it in the sun for a few days to see if any indication of problems. Have used this product for several years and found it to be the best I've ever used for mold and other stains that have appeared on my decking and vinyl siding.

I've used it on all these surfaces. With the exception of my hardwood floors, I allowed the liquid to penetrate according to directions.Be careful on leather furniture as it darkened the leather for me. (so did the urine though.!)And you may have to treat areas more than once in some cases. Good luck!

I would not use this product. I used it on my wood and tile floors and ended up with a mess. I had to hand clean & rinse the floors and the residue left took several cleanings to fully remove.

I only used it on the cabinets in my house, kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room. I didn't try it on my hardwood floors since it has petroleum distillate in it and I have pets who lick their feet. I also used it only when I could have a lot of windows open to air the room and house. You need to wear gloves when you use this product.

I used the product in my garage after applying an epoxy finish. I can not remember if I mixed it with polyurethane or epoxy for the top coat. In any case, I was a little suprised, the product worked very well. This was about 3 years ago and the top coat has held up very well. It does add some grip to the floor but I am not sure how it does.

No. It is an oil finish for raw wood or untainted floors. But this is a small container and I use it to finish my carvings

I would think so. I use it on my hardwood floors to remove the QuickShine Floor Finish and it works very well. The key is to use really hot water along with the product, as that not only takes up the unwanted finish, but also really gets in there to clean.

I believe this is only safe for finished floors. I would call a woodshop to see what you could use to clean your wood before finishing. Once you have finished your floor, I would recommend Bona to clean it. Good luck.

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.

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.

I have used this product many times on badly worn, scratched, and scuffed floors. Afterapplication I have buffed vigorously and made sure the surface is completely dry beforeusing paste wax.

Tung oil is NOT a surface finish as such; it needs to soak into the wood. The first coat should be thinned 1:1 or more, followed by at least two more coats a day or more apart. Not really what you want to do with a floor if you are living there.

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.
