I POLISHED MY HARDWOOD FLOORS and regretted it after a while. My HARDWOOD FLOOR became DULL and SPLOTCHY after a while and I just knew the HARDWOOD FLOOR POLISH HAD TO GO. If you are in the same situation, not knowing what to do, I'd love to help you with my video today. I did the homework and research and I will show you the TIPS AND TECHNIQUES ON HOW TO STRIP WAX SAFELY FROM THE HARDWOOD FLOOR TOO.

These two products helped restore our floor back to its beauty after using Weiman's Polish & Restorer. I did not know that the product would build up causing a cloudy look and film. This was the ONLY thing that helped.
I am so glad to know that my video helped you Shirley. I'm beyond grateful for your message letting me know that my video helped you. Thank you 🙏 Hope you will enjoy and find other solutions in all my other videos
After you removed the polish on your floor with these two products, did you need to apply a sealant on your floor afterwards?
@@fabiennepalu-benson6112 I did not. And they are still so amazing. I have not had any issues.
Did you use any polish after to restore shine?
Wow, I just used the Weimans. What a mistake! I have a dog that leaves paw prints and my husband wears sneakers and I bare feet. They all leave smudgy marks on my shiny Weimans waxed floor! I hope I can find this product online!
Ammonia. Ammonia. Ammonia. Water based floor wax "polish" dissolves instantly with zero scrubbing in ammonia. Lay it down wet and let it sit 5 minutes and then mop the floor with clear water.
Thank you!! I just used ammonia because that’s all I had. My floors are restored 😊
I can’t thank you enough for making this video and sharing your info! I followed exactly what you said, but put the cleaners in spray bottles because I was afraid to pour a lot of liquid on my floors, and it worked!!!!!! I was about to give up and call the professionals. It completely got rid of the awful floor shine polish I put on years ago and was never able to remove! A million thanks!!
Oh my goodness!!!! 😍😍😍 I’m so happy!!! 👏 Your idea of putting the solution in spray bottles is genius!! I’m so glad you told me about that! I’m so happy you got that off your floors. I bet your floors look gorgeous again!! Mine are still looking great. I’ll never use that Polish again ugh 😣
Did this to our floors and came out amazing. Did exactly how she said. Thanks
You are so welcome!! I’m glad it turned out great for you Brenda. Thank you for letting me know 🙂
@@myranda_achvan hi Myranda. I am a hardwood flooring guy and was checking out wax removal videos. I found this video. You did a great job. I would like to offer one piece of advice. When you apply the dissolver. Only apply it one section at a time. Usually about 50 sqft at a time. It will help with not letting it set on the floor too long. Other than that. Excellent job.
@@hardwoodfloorrefinishing9469 Im so grateful for your advice 🙂 Thank you for letting me know.
@@hardwoodfloorrefinishing9469 I was going to suggest the same thing.
@@hardwoodfloorrefinishing9469 Great advice, thanks for that tip! I'll do that!
Great video. Could you please recommend any other wax removers? I need to do this, but I cannot find this brand locally. Thank you ❤
This is a great video Myranda, I love the detail that you gave, because this was definitely an indepth and hard task. Your floors look great, this is amazing. I have thought about polishing mine with that stuff you were talking about in the beginning, I'm so glad that I didn't Because I don't know that I would have the patience to undo after seeing all the hard it takes to remove it. 😀
Hey Mel 💖💖💖 I’m glad you are here!! Thank you! I do not recommend polishing the floors. It is a HUGE task to undo and looks bad after a while of it being in there. Just good care is all they need. They are beautiful the way they are already originally.
I just followed this procedure and I have to say it worked amazing. We were so frustrated for so long that we almost had new floors installed, but I figured what the heck for the price of the gallon jugs of chemicals I would give it one more try. It took up all that Bona polish with ease. Thank you so much for posting this. This simple video saved me thousands.
I've been looking all over for something that could help my floors. I made the same mistake you made when i purchased my home. Thanks for the video! It really made my day 😊
Never use a steam mop on your wood floors. Research tells us it will break down the structure of the wood.
Thank you 🙏🙂
I hope this video helps you out and helps also to save you a lot of money too! Best of Luck! 🙂
I’ve been looking for a video like this to help me strip the tile floors in my small kitchen and bathroom without using the commercial grade equipment. Thank you so much!
You're so welcome!! I'm glad I could help ♥️
Hi Myranda. I have lived in two houses that had hardwood floors and many of my friends have hardwood flooring. Plus I have sanded my hardwood floors myself. From what I see these
are not hardwood floors. Rather they look like vinyl flooring made to look like hardwood. In fact I saw some vinyl flooring that looked just like yours. This looks more like a commercial
for these two products!!
Was there a point to your comment? I bet you’re fun to be around. 🙄
Congrats! You are the first "real person" like me to research (that I know of) and find the perfect spot between DIY and Professional Cleaners! I am subscribed and I have gotten the names of the items down that I will need on my over 100 year old hardwoods! It seems like such a sham that Bona, Rejuvenate, Johnsons Paste Wax, only put layers on your floor to dull it and then you have to get professional strippers and waxers to come to your house because no one makes these products available to the public, unless you go looking! I can't wait to get my floors clean! Thank you!
Oh my gosh you said that right!!!!! That is EXACTLY how it goes!! We use the product and then when it's dull and built up and/or splotchy in the high traffic areas, we are left only to hire a professional stripper. Interesting isn't it?? 🤔
That is why I did the research. I was shocked about this. I'm so glad you reached out! Thank you too for Subscribing 🙂 I hope to hear from you again! Good like on your floors! They'll turn out beautiful!
This worked. I made the mistake of putting a coat on of wax and then discovered it crusting and pilling when I mopped. Argh. Luckily only one coat.
Thank you so much. I followed your process exactly. It came off and is back to its normal sheen. Thank you. I wish I could brighten up the sheen. Maybe I am not cleaning it well?
Like A Pro!!! 🎉 and using professional products that we use in the industry is rarely seen on UA-cam how to videos. Basic coatings brand , dissolver and squeaky are the best. Hats off to you! 💪😊👌
I ordered the exact product you recommended. It took a little doing to find the dissolver, but I managed to get it. My wife and I watched your video several times before we attempted cleaning our floors. We did everything just as you recommended, and the results were far better than we could have hoped for. Our floors look brand new! Thank you very much for putting this information together. I tried using another method that just ended up making the floors look worse. But, now... we are very pleased.
Why are you walking around barefoot? Thats disgusting
Thank you Mark!!! As much as I mop, I am still compulsive and I found so much satisfaction in this message to me.
I ordered a gorgeous pair of slippers today 🥰 Thank you for being straight forward.
You helped me open my eyes and do better 🙏
🙄
Came across your vid and holy hell, it fixed my floors right up. No more "polish and restorer" for this guy. Funny thing is our floors look identical. Cheers. Two spray bottles, two microfiber mops, bammo. Looks like new (and matte, yay).
You are so amazing!!! Thank you 🙏 I appreciate you!!!! Do you mind if I pin your comment??
@@myranda_achvan of course not!
spray the desolver....never pour it out of the bucket on the floor....The reason it lifted is the liquid went into the edge of the board in the tongue and groove....Never pour water on your floor like that....You were damn lucky...
Yes, I realized that yawing a spray bottle would be best. Thank you
where do you buy the dissolver ??
I have a link in my description box that will take you to where to purchase that item or any others you may need. Just click the drop down arrow under the title when the video is playing and you'll find it there. Let me know if you need any more help.
I have been using bona floor cleaner and polish and when I steam clean the floors it gets hazy and white so I’m hoping this works to get the floors back down to bare floor.
So that is exactly what I had been using as well and is what led me to find this solution. It worked for me 100 percent. They went back to what they were when we first moved in and since I made this video, they look just as good. No issues at all. Please let me know how everything went. Good Luck 🙂
You are using way to much liquid it will eventually ruin your floors by causing warpage or delamination. Recommend less liquid. It should only need a small mist not enough to penetrate the cracks or surface quickly.
Thank you 🙂
It sure will.
Myranda!! You are a God Send! I am going to try this on our engineered hardwood! I made a mistake and used Weiman's and they look hideous! Thankfully it seems it was only used once (we just bought the house a year ago). I can't wait to try this out and get the natural sheen back. I agree with you! I don't need to walk on glass either! Thanks again for you great video!
I am so excited to try this. So tired of the wax buildup on my floors. Where did you purchase the dissolver and cleaner?
Hey Graze 👋 I totally get how you feel. I hated it too. I'm so glad it's off. I'll never go back to that wax again. I put the links in the description box under this video to help. Let me know if you need help finding them. Thank you for reaching out 🙂 I can't wait for you're floors to come back to life for you too.
If you are using chemicals, wouldn't it be wiser to wear shoes instead of sandals? Just saying! You are wearing gloves to protect your hands, but protecting your feet is also important.
I’ve needed to do this for a long time, but so wary of ruining the floors; will now dive in and get them done. Thank you for the video!
You're so welcome. Judy little water and work quick is the key.
It does take a little bit of elbow grease but it is worth the results.
Remember friend, do not let it sit on your floor for too long before you wipe with the cloth.
Please keep in touch and let me know your gorgeous results. Send me a picture in Instagram @ myranda_avhvan
Great post . Its important to read the data sheet on these products and how to apply them . They are available on the links you posted. To make it easy next time youneed to work in small areas 50 sqft max.. again thanks for the post really helped.
Your video saved my life and my floors. We used Revive and they were wrecked. These products are amazing. Thank you!!!
For gods sake why not remove the furniture and carpets from the area you are working on to make life easier??
Love this process! Going to order products right now and give it a try. Thanks ❤
Does this work also for engineered hard wood floors? I have dill waxy build up on my floors
What are you using after the cleaning process to reseal and bring back shine ?
Great video. Thank you. I am working on my hardwood floors in my house and this has been very helpful.
I'm so glad to hear that!! How had it turned out?
Thank you for this. I have old hardwood floors that probably need refinishing( which we have done in the past) but I put lots of wax and need to remove it, I’ve been researching but this looks to be the easiest way so thanks again. I’m going to try it soon!
This really revived my floor to look like they once did. I did so much research and patch test before I did them. I had high expectations but was still shocked at how beautifully this worked. Please keep me posted on how yours turn out.
thanks....I have been using my Bona polish like crazy so NOW I gotta strip....great video...I am a HOUSE DAD....
Hands down, you are a champ! Being a stay at home parent is one of the hardest jobs! But it also comes with the biggest rewards. I love being a stay at home. Thank you for your message 🙂
just bought the stuff...I'm trusting you Myranda...just subbed your channel....thank you
Thank you friend. You'll be ok. Mine are still great with no issues since. Just use less water than I did. Also make sure you do small sections at a time. That's key. Let me know how it turns out!
Thank you so much!! We did use this and made our 20 year old hardwood clean again and we didn't have to spend the money to call a company. We really appreciate you!
Thank you,....I used Rejuvenate over and over again....it only looked good in the beginnng then my floors started to peel in spots and look 'gummy'....Great Video!!! You can also rent a buffer
Thank you for letting me know about that! 🙂
Would you be kind enough to let me know where you got your Dissolver product from? I can find the squeaky but not the Dissolver. Thank you
Absolutely!! If you touch the arrow under the right side of my video, the description box will drop down and all the links for any item will be there.
I hope you realize this floor is actually a high pressure laminate floor and not real hardwood. I have the exact same high quality flooring and installed it myself. Hardness level 4 which is difficult to find so it does not scratch. Level 5 hardness is like stone and will wear off your socks quick. This brand flooring comes with wax on the interlocking joints that seals all the joints so you can wash as you did. Regular laminate floor would be ruined with all that wet cleaner dumped on it.
Thank you for letting me know 🙏
Thank you! I’m so frustrated with the same problem…only my floors were sad to begin with..then I polished, then they were shiny, and now they’re HORRIBLE…I’ll try this….soon hopefully we’ll get LV Planks…..thanks again!
You're very welcome. This process made mine look new again. If your floors are in that condition, I'd love to hear if they look better after this process even than they were at the beginning.
Hi Myranda - Thank you for your in-depth video on removing wax off hardwood floors. We recently purchased a home where the previous owners waxed the hardwood floors around their area rugs, so we have areas of built-up wax where they had no area rugs, Ugh. I just ordered the Dissolver and the Squeaky cleaner to tackle this job. Thanks again.... I'll let you know how it turns out.
Hey Mary! Congratulations on your new home!! I’m so glad my video can help you with that. ♥️ I’m looking forward to hearing about your results. Just remember to do small patches at a time and move quick.
@@myranda_achvan Thank you, I will keep you posted.
We had some mildew build up under a protective mat that was under our office chair. I unfortunately applied a 1 part bleach and 8 parts water spray to kill the mold and in doing so took the varnish off the satin finish (flat finish like your floor) . Then applied Mimwax Tung oil finish thinking it would be like a flat finish but it turned out to be shiny. Would this product strip the finish off so we could apply a satin finish instead? Your help would be most appreciated. Susan Stephen
Susan,, to start,. Seriously,, thank you for reaching out.. please tell me what kind of hardwood you have and I will give you an answer. Is it engineered??
Awesome, I needed this. Do you have a suggestion for the Dickey that ends up under area rugs, from the rubber thing? It leaves a residue. I think I’ll try the dissolver
Thank you 🙏 The Murphy's oil soap works great on leftover rug adhesive!
Hi Myranda,
I have exactly what you had! I polished with Bona a few times thinking I was helping cover up scratches from the dogs. It was shiny and beautiful as you said, AT FIRST, then it went downhill from there. If the dogs drooled a little we would have spots that would eat the wax away. If you pulled out the bar stools it would scratch off the polish, or just high traffic areas like you said. It looked awful. I have been researching and I found you and although I have not tried yet, it is going to be my next project. Going to order the supplies and get it done. I will get back as soon as I can with my results. I’m in Michigan so it’s cold right now, so instead of sweating, I may freeze with the windows open but so be it, at least the floors will look beautiful! Thank you for such an informative video. 😄
Yaaaas!!! It is super cold there 🥶! You will get cold but it is SO WORTH it!!! The reasons for me polishing with that Bona was also because of dog scratched/grooves and to protect high traffic areas but it did the opposite. It just became a huge mess and pain in the butt. It looked so bad and not too long after I did it. Yes, please let me know how got goes. Our floors are still great here since I have fixed this issue. I loved reading your comment ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thank you, you left me smiling 🙂
What you are describing, seems to be much of what I am experiencing! So glad I have the secrets to DIY and I'm ordering my stuff today!
Exactly what happened to my floors... going to try this soon myself.
Thanks for the video. I spoke with two floor technicians and both wanted over $700 to remove the wax. I did what you said, and the wax build-up is gone.😊
After you removed the wax/polish on the floor, did you put something on it afterwards or did you keep it as is? After a while does the floor remains as good as after you removed the polish?
What a great question!!! YES!!!! My floors have remained as is with NO ISSUES.. This was the best thing I have done ever in my home. I couldn't be happier (and I'm an obsessive) just to let you in on the satisfaction...
Hi, will this work with vinyl floors?
Hi! I made the mistake of using quick shine on lvp do you think I could use these products?
Absolutely!!!!
im just going to throw the polish i got in the trash :(
Can you use a wet/dry vac to suck up the dissolver instead of using a towel? Thanks
My dear, I'm sure that would be ok too. I only went with the towel bc that it was the directions advised.. but your solution sounds much more professional. I would have tried for sure. Just make sure that once it's sucked up it is filleted as well. As with adding water and sucking again with the dry vac.
Where can I purchase these products?
Great video.
My daughter put wax on
some part of my vinyl plank
floor and it looks horrible.
Do you think I can
use the product you use for removing the wax on my floor ???
😄lol, I bet it does. Yes, you absolutely can use the products on Vinyl. It's says you can on the back of the bottle. I checked.
Thank you
Where did you get it.
@@ELPASTORAPOSTOLICO you're welcome 🙂 If you click on my title under the video, the description box will open and the product link is on there. Each one come from two different places. I go through to make sure it's the best price so they are up to date. Let me know if you need help, I can find another way to get it to you.
That’s very kind of you.
I will check the link. If I don’t find it I will let you know.
Thank you for your time.
I don’t like shiny wood floors. I had my refinished and they used a mat sealer.
Yes, I totally agree with you. I prefer the mat look as well ♥️
Ahhh first comment! This was so helpful my in laws just recently had this problem so I’m sending this video their way ! This was so satisfying to watch ❤️
Thank you my makeup queen!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey girl! Here watching while I do some cleaning this morning 💕
Hi I’m in the UK and I can’t find the products you have used, any idea of alternatives for the UK ?
Thanks so much loved the video
Im going to check now. I'll do my very best to try find a solution for you.
Jongro (this brand by the directions seems very similar to Dissolver) I copy pasted the directions because they ask to use acetic acid as the solution after to break up the dissolver where I used Squeaky. I hope this helps.
Another I seen was Clover Remove
How to remove floor polish
POLISH STRIPPING:
- Dilute 250ml per 5 litre of hot water.
HEAVY BUILD UP:
- Dilute 500ml per 5 litre of hot water.
- Apply with mop or machine tank.
- Leave for a few minutes, machine scrub with stripping pad.
- Remove slurry, rinse with clean water.
- Neutralise floor before applying polish by adding a solution of 20ml acetic acid (vinegar) to 5 litre of water
- Damp mop the surface.
- Allow to dry.
Hey girl!!! This was very informative. I don't have hardwood floor but I really enjoyed watching. Your floors really do look beautiful and brand new once you were done!!! 💗
I have old floors with build up of wax and have been loooking for this forever! Thanks going to try this soon!
So after the Squeaky, do you rinse with damp mop?
Yes. You dilute it. Go over it a few times with only water and a mop and then dry.
I was quoted $3500 to refinish my pre-finished hardwoods after 2-3 coats of Rejuvenate. It took longer than a minute to get the wax to come up, but after lots of elbow grease, the came to their original shine. They look brand new! It does make quite the mess! I had a roll of paper towels and a plastic bag handy to pick up the clumps of wax. I also vacuumed prior to using the sparkle. I steamed my floors, too. They now are amazing and in their original state!
I'm having difficulty locating these products. Can you tell me where I can purchase them. Thank you
Tes
Absolutely! I recently searched for the best price for them both and placed them in my description box. I'm the description box there is a link, you can click on it and it will take you directly to the product
If you need any more help please let me know 🙂 and you are so welcome. It's my pleasure that I could help you in this situation.
I just put Quickshine on the floors for Christmas...looks gorgeous but not putting more coats.
Yes, it really gorgeous!! Please let me know how it works out. I'd love to know if it wears off in a nice way. Thank you for reaching out' 🙂 I'm very happy your here Bernie.
@@myranda_achvan
I’ve been using Quickshine for about 13 yrs now on natural wood floors. The owner(we rent) previously had buffed, stained and sealed them, but they were kind of dull. This was over 20 yrs ago. There are spots from furniture drag marks, not scratches. It’s just where the wax gets removed. Can I use this to strip the wax on natural floors? Quickshine has never faded or dulled my floors. I may apply every several months, with cleanings in between. Only place that it shows up dull is if my small dog tinkles on the floor. It’s like the pee strips that wax. Can I use this as a spot stripper and rewax?
Do you have to hot steam it afterwards? I don't have one of those yet.
No. You don't need to steam mop. It's not necessary. I did that extra step and afterwards I realized I didn't need to.
Well done! You saved yourself a lot of $$$. Just FYI, the edges more than likely raised from the amount of moisture. Most lay back down as yours did. 5 stars!
Used buffering machine its easy and heavy to duty
Thank you 🙏
You made big mistake from the beginning the reason you floor was looking foggy because the floor is engineered floor doesn’t need finish, engineered floor come with original shined, that’s the reason we need to take the finish, well good to know another process how to take wax out the hardwood/LPV/engineered floor thanks
A million thanks for your information, it worked like magic on our hard wood floor.
I cannot thank you enough for posting this video. I had to do the work twice but now my floor looks incredible. What are you using now for everyday cleaning product? Are you using the remaining squeaky, your old Bona product or water and vinegar? Thank you for your help on this matter also.
Thank you!! I appreciate you reaching out! I really hope you will , I hope you will consider subscribing for future helpful videos with me.🙂 What I have found to be best is a small bit of fabuloso and O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop. I ring the water to the extreme and dip and teeing often when mopping. I have tried pretty much everything and this is what I found to work best.
@@myranda_achvan
l wanted to mention the Fabuloso, and that spin mop is a real time-saver too. Works 100% to leave a slightly damped only mop. So glad you made this video, l look forward to the next one. 🥳✌🏽
@@BlueOriginAire thank you so much 🙏♥️
I have been worried about using these products because they don’t clarify if it is a wax build up remover or a clear coat remover (which is more like polyurethane and not meant to be removed unless you are sanding and starting over with new stain and poly). So thank you. And thanks for clarifying about the sticky feeling going away and steam mopping is so clever. I would have had a panic attack if that happened and I hadn’t watched your video. No I feel pretty confident. Thanks. We all need to do what we can to save money.
Good job! However don't steam mop wood floors. It's a lot more likely those boards were lifting due to using the steam mop then from the dissolver. The stickiness was left over residue from the dissolver and you just needed to mop again with the squeaky clean.
Thank you Brandon. I definitely stop using that steam mop. You're right. It is not good. It says it's ok for hardwood but it just isn't.
@@myranda_achvan It doesn't look like you have hardwood, you have engineered hardwood. You are technically steaming compressed cardboard underneath a veneer of composite wood. Steaming real hard wood should be fine, but generally it is unnecessary if you have them sealed.
@@MapSpawn I LOVE how you explained engineered hardwood!!! It made it beautiful in laymen term. Thank you. This is very good and nice to know 🙂
Do you have a product for cleaning grout on tile floor.
Hey Barbara! Sorry for the delayed response. Had some things recently come up unexpectedly. I use grout-eez and absolutely love it. It works like a charm and without intense scrubbing. Please let me know if you give it a try. I’d love to know what you think.
I wonder if this would work with a LVP floor? I have nasty buildup on mine.
When you are saying removing polish is that referring to old paste wax? Thanks!
Hi Myranda, thanks again for this video. I have a follow up question. I've watched a few DIY floor stripping videos, and they always seem to use some kind of scraper to get the sludge off the floor (after letting the stripper emulsify the wax for a few minutes). But you are just using a towel in this video after the Disolver does it's work. How is that possible?
And do you think you could the stripper/wax sludge off the floor with a shop vac?
Well the stripper dissolves and lifts the product from the floor entirely. There is no reason to scrub or scrape it off. When I did it, I could see how the solution changed. It looked like thin milk. At that point, just to wipe off the solution is all you need.
You could use a shop vac. But still, you would need to put the squeaky on after to stop the activation of the dissolver.
@@myranda_achvan That's what I suspected. I have about 1500 sq feet of mop and glo to get rid of, so this video is very helpful! Thanks so much
You probably could have used a small wet vac for pickup. Looks good.
Awesome video
Thank you 🤗♥️
Does this work on laminate floors ?
I did a lot of research to give you the right answer: yes, this does and will work on laminate floors.
Steam mop not good for Hardwood floors, it lifts the Wood. Steam is water. No good.
are u removing polish or wax?
This is polish but you can use this process on both.
Ty after you did the removal and clean did you apply a polyurethane oil or water base?
I have a wood floor with a polyurethane varnish. Is it safe for the varnish?
I love that you are a non toxic cleaner! I really appreciate it from someone who has a young kid & a pet!
Thank you Halle ♥️ How are you? I’m not sure how I just not seen this message from you. I’m sorry about that. Thank you for your support ♥️
This is awesome!! We have the same problem and have been looking for a solution to remove the build up.
It works!! It’s work but will be like new when you’re done. ♥️ Thank you 🙂
Can confirm, this works. Be very careful you don't drip Dissolver somewhere and let it sit. It WILL eat through the original coating and leave a dull spot. Otherwise, this is as easy as it looks. Follow the video.
Also, I used a garden sprayer to distribute. If you do the same, don't be stingy! You want a tiny bit extra than "thin layer".
If did work. I haven't had any problems since I'd done this
You’re right, it was gorgeous at first. Thank you for this instructional video for removal of the polish.
My pleasure. Thank you!! I hope it was helpful 🙂
I would have removed everything from the room before doing this
Best, most helpful video on this subject I've found. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video my floor is back to normal 💃💃💃
Wow so glad I found this...I used Holloway house and didn't realize it would build up the way it did but loved the finish. I found their product for removing the coating and haven't had a chance to use it yet but now I want to try your method! Excited to get my floors back to how they were when we built the house surprised to say lol
Thank you for this informtion!!
You're welcome 😉
Did it take any of the poly off with the dissolver stripper.
I can’t find the Dissolver. Where did you get it or do you know of another brand?
Hey!! Thank you for reaching out 🙂 I have the link for dissolver in my description box. Just hit the arrow on the right under the video and you’ll see it there. I update my links frequently to find the best prices available. Please let me know if you have any trouble. I’ll find another way to get it to you if so.
You are actually using a 1 to 4 ratio of disolver in your video. You used one part disolver and 4 parts water. That's a total of 5 parts. And it's a 1 to 4 ratio. One fifth to four fifths is a 1 to 4 ratio.
To use a 1 to 5 ratio, you will use a total of six parts. One part disolver and 5 parts water. That's a 1 to 5 ratio. For instance, one cup disolver and 5 cups water is a 1 to 5 ratio.
Of course if the 1 to 4 ratio works best, then that's what you'll use. 1 cup disolver and 4 cups water. That's 5 cups total.
Ahhhh 😃 I see what you are saying!!! You are amazing!!!! Thank you so much 🙏
What product do you use for regular Maintenace after stripping the floors? If not Bona/Rejuvenate, etc- what product do you suggest for everyday cleaning and protection from wear and tear?
Bruce is a great hardwood floor cleaner I don't trust anything else with Real Hardwood floors 😊
I’m encouraged that you did it the way I would (walking all over it and towel on the foot lol) so I’m hopeful that even I could do it thanks
😊
I can't find these products. Help?
Hey Cheryl 🙂 I found the squeaky off of the Walmart website. They don’t sell it at Walmart so you’ll need to order it. The dissolve came from Lowe’s. I ordered that from their website as well.
thank you. i will do it!
@@cheryljohnson733 let me know how it goes 🙂
@@myranda_achvan I will
Does this work with engineered floors
Yes it does
Mine are engineered and it worked great.
Thank you! It worked using Zep Stripper and ammonia. Followed the same instructions using different products including Zep cleaner. I’m expecting my floors steamer this week. Your video is🔥. Professional suggestions was to sand it. So grateful you offered this video to others!
Could you go into how you used the zero stripper and ammonia method?
Crossing my fingers I’m going to try this
