Just used this on hardwood floor. took the shine off and sneakers stuck. Should I clean floors first with some other soap to remove the old coating?

No, don't wash first. Make sure you dilute it properly with water fom the concentrate. I never had a problem with sticking or losing the shine. It actually gave the floor a nice finish.

Use a gallon of water in the sink with very small amount of Polly care. I had the same problem with sticking on the floor and footprints. Sweep or vacuum the hardwood first. Less is better in the water.

This product must be diluted! Use 1/4 cup of concentrate to gallon of warm water. (This concentrated formular makes 64 gallons of cleaner) I suggest you rewash your floor,let it dry and use the Poly Care again. Buffing will help bring back the shine.again.

My hardwood floors have high gloss polyurethane coating and I only use this product. Have never had the shine removed or shoes stick.

When I cleaned my concrete I sprayed a cleaner on first, then pressure-washed - (I did essentially what Art B. did.). I doubt using cleaner in the washer would clog the system because the pressure is pretty intense, but James Garrett pointed out that the soap works best at lower pressures; I have not used that system. What the real benefit of this attachment is: even blasting, so no streaks, missed areas, and so on. When you finish it looks like a floor scrubber was applied! And of course, you can't beat the decrease in hours you'll spend cleaning!!! Good luck, df.

I used the sponge that came inside the container. Initially the sponge became very saturated with the cleaning solution. I soon discovered that rinsing the sponge with water solved that problem. After applying I used a clean cloth to remove residue and shine. Hope this helps.

your grout is gray b/c you have been using soap on the floor which runs to the lowest point, i.e. grout which then becomes a magnet for dirt. your going to have to use a product to remove the soap in the grout, like nano scrub and then reseal the grout. never use soap

Just pop the top and bottom off and clean them in hot soapy water. I use a small scrub brush on them. Have no problems, best way I have found to clean it.

I don't think I would try to remove the polish in a small area. I used a small amount on an area that would be covered by a small area rug to see if the product would remove the polish. The results are a disaster!!!!! I will have to have all the hardwood floor buffed and polished by a professional that saw the floors and does not think that there is anything I can use to correct the problem. I will not be using the polish any more. I will have a professional come once a year to "refresh" my floors. I hope this helps.

This product might work better for you. (Just a guess). It worked well for me on the soles of my slippers. PERFORMIX PLASTI DIP SUPER GRIP Fabric Home Spray Non-Skid Coating

...apply BONA with a scrub sponge ( that was soaked in water and ammonia)....work in small areas....let sit for a while..keep moist...wipe with dry rag then rinse with damp rag...need a lot of elbow grease if floor is really bad...BONA WORKS!!!

If it were me - and an all wood floor, I would clean it with Murphy's Soap (read and follow instructions to the "T") and after a complete dying period, use Johnson's paste wax. Lots of work, but the buffer will also scrub. When you lay the wax down, do in in light, even, coats and let it dry - buff with bristle brush first and then lambs wool. You may need to do a couple of coats...best of luck.

I've never had a problem at all with any residue sticking to my foot, but I agree that a little rubbing alcohol would remove it, if it happened. Mine always just peel right off when I want them too and never leave anything behind.

Can't imagine what Quick Shine could have done to "ruin" your floors. It is simply a low-grade version of what your floors were probably sealed with in the first place. We use it on hardwood and tile floors that have lost their shine in 42 rental units and our home. It wears off with use, but takes quite a while (which is good from my point of view). But you can probably remove it with whatever is used to remove polyurethane. So confusing that you don't love it!

I'm sure that it would stick...it rubs on to your feet and makes them a little bit white underneath its a powder, and in the shoes if you wear them after applying it rubs in and stays in. Buy this product if your trying to get rid of foot odor it worked so well on me

Wipe it down with a used fabric softener sheet. Gets rid of any soap scum, water deposits, etc. Probably easier on the surface than toothpaste too.

The floor is shiny after cleaning but the shine doesn't last for more than a few days. Then again, I do have a fairly hairy dog so maybe that isn't helping prolong the shine. I'm fairly certain you can use it on any type of flooring. I have bamboo flooring and it works very well on that. It also smells nice and dries fairly quickly.

I have laminate wood and did NOT like this product. Too soapy, left a residue that was tacky under all footwear. Had to re-mop my floor with water twice to get it up.

Have the same problem. I am thinking it may be the bruce floor cleaner. I changed to bona, and not quite as streaked.

I have Bellawood Pre-finished Hardwood and this works great on these floors! It is best not to move anything back onto the floor or walk on it for apx 20 minutes after you've finished; let the floor dry completely. You will love the shine!
