I’m glad I watched this video. I was just about to apply Rejuvenate to hardwood floors covered with carpet for 40 years. Will have a professional screen and refinish them.
I was thinking the same thing. I just finished watching a video on using that product and then I seen this! Thank you for saving me from messing up my business floors! Wow!!! Amazing job guys!!!😁
Do you know if Minwax Hardwood Reviver would cause similar issues, if only applied every couple years or so? Thinking about using it on my new rental property since I can't afford to refinish the floors right now, but concerned it might make the refinishing job more expensive in the future?
03/21/2024. Thank you! I was getting ready to use Rejuvinate on my laminate floors. Can you recommend a product for laminate floors that will provide a shine and keep them from looking so splotchy? No matter what I do, the floors never like clean. They are always streaked.
To polish the floor implies that you're adding something to it, in most cases a sheen to make it shine. An aluminum oxide prefinished floor is considered a low maintenance type floor until you change it by adding soap cleaners, wax or other polishing products like rejuvenate or orange glo. You would be better off cleaning the floor and having a floor professional do a screen and coat to add a protective layer of polyurethane.
So I know contractors hate this stuff but ive got a quick question. If you plan to use Rejuvenate as a temporary fix and plan to sand down the floors and properly refinish in a couple years is the emulsifier still necessary? A drum sander wont just sand it down to bare wood like normal? Thanks!
Someone used spray Rejuvenate on my kitchen floor and got spray all over the lower portion of my stainless steel frig doors. How can I remove the overspray on a SS appliance? I have tried alcohol and even acetone but only had limited success.
I have a serious question for you, I just pulled up some old carpet on a beautiful hardwood floor. The carpet pad didn't want to come up and is stuck in and out of a thick layer of what I'm assuming is glue. So to try and remove the glue and pad I got a bottle of de-solv-it contractors solvent spray which is essential oils. I sprayed the mess out of a rather larger section of the floor and it hasn't worked removing the goo and now I don't know how or what to use to absorb all the oil that's now on the floor and continuing to sit there for far longer than the toughest stain setting time suggested of 25 minutes. I pray I haven't just destroyed my floor and that you reply back with a helpful and greatly appreciated and desperately needed advice or suggestion to me solution. If you don't mind please help
Hi! Can you do this method on engineered hardwood??? I applied rejuvenate not knowing what it was and exactly how serious it is and now I’m panicking trying to get it off!! It has caused terrible scuff, skid marks and scratches in my floors!
Well, one year later and not one danged response?? Have you figured it out or are you still battling it? One thing, steam isnt good on them as it causes the floor to actually absorb the moisture and other not good things. Currently scraping 20 years of product buildup off my own flooring, I'm an eyelash away from concrete floors!!!
Did you ever find something to use on a regular basis.. I just moved in with my father in law and his wood floors have a build up and need to be deep cleaned but I'm not sure what to use with out damaging or making them worse.. TIA
I see that Rejuvenate is a big mess, my floor was very shiny when we applied it, but with the rubber from the shoes it formed like “smudges” or I don’t know what to call it, that was one day when my daughter was playing with her friends, she didn’t take off her tennis shoes, so I have tried to remove that layer and I can’t. The problem is that I am in Colombia, so hiring this contractor is impossible. Any advice you can give me? Thanks!
Hi Courtney what Are the alternative floorshines or cleaners you recommend I have Is wood rain vinyl floors and I like a good shine. I'm not sure what is the healthier product to use.
@@Dirty_Bear22 BOOM! This is the smartest comment of all. Accept the fact that the original shine is temporary and when it is gone; it is gone. Use water to clean. Have no expectation of SHINE. Be satisfied it is clean. Next time buy the permanent shine higher cost flooring. YES, sounds like a plan. THANKS (PS if it is a rental; move out mop with REJUVENATE and run; will get your deposit returned because it will look great just long enough for the inspection LOL)
@@emc6511 Thanks for the kind words! Previously forgot to add that there is nothing wrong with getting existing floors that have faded coatings screened/sanded and a fresh coat of urethane in preferred level of shine applied, gives you a factory fresh finish without total replacement, especially a good option for premium flooring. Don’t think there is any permanent shine flooring, the quality of the wood, urethane quality, foot traffic, outdoor soil type, and cleaning routine will determine how long the urethane lifespan is, but nothing is forever. Best thing you can do to extend life is vacuum daily (robot vacuum cleaners help tremendously) and use a hard floor auto scrubber with appropriate wood floor detergent every 2-3 weeks. My top pick would be the Lindhaus LW30, but they are very pricey, cheaper alternatives include the crosswave or the hizero. All three are better then mopping, since much less grit is repeatedly rubbed into the urethane.
I love all these videos (so satisfying 🙊). Would love to know the products and machinery you use so when we are hiring we know we are hiring a good team! 😉
Wow…Rejuvenate is one of the 4 options I was considering putting on my hardwood floors…I didn’t use it thankfully and will toss that out. I was also thinking of Bona and I didn’t buy it. Do you have any thoughts about using mineral oil on hardwood floors? In my high traffic area whatever the sealant or protectant that was used has worn off so that wood is unprotected now (my house is about 80+ years old.) My reasoning it that if mineral oil is safe for butcher blocks and cutting boards, it would likely be a safe protectant for wood floors and also nontoxic. Do you have any thoughts about this?? Also what area do you service???
BONA IS FINE!! just PAY ATTENTION to the mixing Ratios and Follow them!! No, don’t use mineral spirits. Because if you do ever refinish the floors, the minerals spirits Will have Zero protection, it doesn’t dry like a normal oil, or finish. And it will interfere with the new finish. If you have raw wood from the finish being worn through, you need to buff and coat if you can’t afford a Refinish. BUT, buff and coat won’t remove all the dirt in The exposed raw floor. UA-cam is the Worst place to get flooring advice!!! Call a professional company near you and get Professional advice!
Hi I am wondering. Are they repeat clients because they repeatedly put wax on the floors? Or do they call you for different things and just had the wax removed for the first time?
The previous owner of my house had used Bona on the wood floors that are through the entire house! Every time I would clean the floors this scummy stuff would ball up. Took me a bit ti figure out it was wax build up. I have been doing the removal myself on my hands and knees. What a job it is! Don't use Bona or anything like it on hardwood floors! It just builds up and makes your floors look horible!
I just stripped mine of bona but luckily I’m the first owner and the house was built a few years ago so it was t all that hard to get off but now I’m looking for a new polish. I was going to use rejuvenate.
Umm.. maybe use the stuff properly, Bona is one of the better products to clean with. You could use Loba floor cleaner. You can buy the kit on Amazon. But You Have To Follow The Mixing Ratio Instructions. SMALL SPRITZ in the air and let it fall, don’t get the floor wet!! Your not wet mopping your cleaning, if there is something sticky wipe it with a soft rag, don’t try to get it up with floor cleaner and mop, to much cleaner, and smearing it all around with the mop!! Your flooring professional should’ve gone over this with you!!
@Tia McCutchen I ordered a wax remover solution I n off Amazon. That and a scrubby sponge! Kurt make sure you wipe up as you go or the pieces of wax will dry on the floor. I just wipe up with a clean damp cloth and then rinse it here and there
@@jonellwanger7258 it was used properly. The stuff builds up and then wears off in some spots. Cleaning with Bona is not the same thing as waxing. Two different products
The color difference may be some dirt...but it is from the SUNLIGHT AND WATER THAT CHANGES THE COLOR UNDER THE RUGS ARE UNTOUCHED AND COVERED SO ITS THE MOST ORIGINAL IN COLOR
I don't understand him saying that floor guys will say "replace the floors". That makes no sense for them to say because if you use a chemical wood stripper, it'll strip the floors down to the bare wood in 15 minutes.
I was about to use a bottle of Rejuvenate on my waterproof laminate floors when I decided to look up a how to guide on UA-cam. I saw another video which led to this one. Do you guys recommend Rejuvenate on laminate floors or no?
Rejuvenate is the WORST! Got it one time when it first came out and mopped the floors with normal cleaner a few days after and noticed it was super sticky. Threw it out and never ever got it again. There are a few others that are just as bad too.
I’m glad I watched this video. I was just about to apply Rejuvenate to hardwood floors covered with carpet for 40 years. Will have a professional screen and refinish them.
I was thinking the same thing. I just finished watching a video on using that product and then I seen this! Thank you for saving me from messing up my business floors! Wow!!! Amazing job guys!!!😁
You just need warm water and vinegar and they come off easily.
What are you using to remove the wax?
I was looking for a video on how to use Rejuvenate and I find this 😩
Don't use rejuvenate! It's awful!!!😥
@ Thank you, I didn’t use it 😔
Don’t use Mop Glo either bro
MEE TOO
What can we use? I just bought 2 gal of rejuvenate for my rental.
What do you use as an emulsifier?
Wow amazing thanks for saving mine I was gonna go buy me some to try till I seen this thank thank you
Thoughts on weiman hardwood products compared to the others?
omg thank you been telling people about bona build up no good for floors thank you for confirming it!
Great video. How many hours to remove Rejuvenate from 500 square feet on floor? What is stripper product used to remove it? Thank you.
BTW the end was hilarious 😂
5:17 I felt that Whooo!!!
Thank you thank you,I almost used this stuff.
So what do we use to clean our floors that won't cause this build up?
I was wondering the same thing
Water
Get stuff Courtney!!!
What's the solution that u used to get the bona off?
Do you know if Minwax Hardwood Reviver would cause similar issues, if only applied every couple years or so? Thinking about using it on my new rental property since I can't afford to refinish the floors right now, but concerned it might make the refinishing job more expensive in the future?
Oh my Goodness
That was a lot of wax
Good job Truman steemers
Great job ! Big $! What kind of emulsifier? Thanks from nc
It damaged my floor too, but I used my steam mop to get mines off my floor
People say stay away from bona polish and I agree I just stripped my floor of bona polish. Now I’m looking for a new polish.

Question? What is a good way to polish the floors once they are clean?

Omg I have this on my floors and they look so dirty and are washed daily . I just bought the Oreck floor orbiter what can I use to get this shit off

Hi Courtney what Are the alternative floorshines or cleaners you recommend I have Is wood rain vinyl floors and I like a good shine. I'm not sure what is the healthier product to use.
No floor shine period. Use a water based floor cleaner. If you want higher shine floors, you gotta install floors with a high factory shine…

I wouldn't use Bona. We had a professional come out and remove all of the Bona build up and it looked just like this.
How much you charge for training classes
Hi I am wondering. Are they repeat clients because they repeatedly put wax on the floors? Or do they call you for different things and just had the wax removed for the first time?
He said repeat client for carpet but asked about his wood floors after pulling the rugs up
WOW that was a lot of wax 😬 great job 👍🏾
OMG that is crazy
Do you have referrals for NYC residents?
Same. I'm in NJ and have the same issue. Thankfully I only have two coats but it is enough to kick myself for even doing it

Don't buy it your regret it
It looks nice shinny when 1st put on but the build up makes it look dirty
