Out kitchen floor is old sheet linoleum. I am planning to strip the wax&glow wax with amonia and then re wax using this wax. Any potential problems?

It's always a possible to not get wanted results. Product is good but not for every application. Would have to do a test area.

Sorry for the late response. Yes, I think this will work for linoleum, but this would put you on your hands and knees for a long time, unless it's a small floor area to clean. Is this for linoleum squares that have actual grout between them, or printed linoleum that only looks like tiles, but the "grout' areas are also linoleum? Is it simply dirt you want to remove, or mildew? I think for floors, you might want to look for a spray on cleanser that would do most of the work so that you just have to wipe with an abrasive mop. Check out the Libman No Knees Floor Scrub or the Casabella Flex Neck Tub-n-Tile Scrubber with Extendable Pole. You can probably find similar tools for even cheaper with more time to search. Are you concerned about toxicity/green cleaning? Concrobium is supposed to be good for mildew, and green according to Environmental Working Group, but I haven't tried it myself.

It has a ammonia smell that disappears. This doesn't bother me as I've been using a homemade recipe of Vinegar, Rubbing Alcohol and Dish Soap. The floor does tend to be a bit slippy after using Rejuvenate. Also a few white streaks do show up from over spraying. This is easy to resolve by wiping up the excess.

That's a good question. I not really sure if the heat would melt the glue that's on the back of the linoleum. I would send the seller your question.

You shouldn't have to heat this at all; in fact, I would never recommend it. The wax should have been the consistency of fresh shoe polish. You should never have to do more than rub an applicator across it to get a nice, smooth paste. You seem to have received old stock; notify Amazon and the seller, and see what they can do about it. This stuff is wonderful to work with and a snap to use. You just didn't get what you paid for.

I used my own wax and everything seemed okay. I think you should be fine I used my own wax cause I didn't really like the finish the 3m left. I wanted a better shine.

Yes definitely take it down to the grain of the wood and you'll get a whole lot better product. If you don't then Daddy Van's all Natural Unscented bee's wax furniture polish won't be able to penetrate into the wood, all you'll end up with is a sticky smear on the surface of your furniture. If you do take off your old polish you'll see Daddy Van's all Natural Unscented bee's wax bring out the beauty of your furniture.

like any wax you dont want to get it on any texture black plastic parts. If you do yo can use Goof Off to take it off and follow up with wiping 303 on it or some other protectant. The wax is long lasting but when taking it off you will get a good work out but the ending reults are nice and it will last.

I use Quick Shine Deep Cleaner on my tile floor only. I can only attest that, left on the floor for a good 15 minutes, the old wax and embedded dirt "melts" away. Good stuff! Now, on laminate floors, I have no idea. However, you can try it on a small part of the laminate floor that is usually not visible and make the test there to see if the wax is removed. Only thing, though, I use a lot of water with the Quick Shine Deep Cleaner and let it set on the floor. I understand laminate floors are unforgiving when a lot of water is applied, causing the floor to buckle. Try a small amount. Good luck! I use Quick Shine Deep Cleaner on my tile floor only.

I am not sure about old wood floors. I had tile floors that was very old and the build up was terrible the tile looked dirty. After using Trewax Instant Wax remover it is like having new tiles. I was going to get a new kitchen floor but I decided not to. This product is amazing!

No, at least I applied hard wax to the floor itself and then buffed it shiny. I may be wrong but would not want to clog up the machine by putting wax in the tank.

The heating function did now work for us using mineral oil - it does not seem to flow well enough. We were hoping to use it to clean the wax off 3D printed parts. So now we use a crock-pot with mineral oil to clean the bulk of the wax and then soapy water in the ultrasonic cleaner to clean off the remaining residue.

The manual spesifies only Hover Cleaning products.http://content.abt.com/documents/52884/FH40160_manual.pdfHowever I have used a light bleach/water on tiled floors with the older model for over a year, it did not cause any problems. Since vinegar is water soluble you should be fine.

I used it on older linoleum tile. It worked well. It looks shiny and wears well.

I did not need to strip my entire floor. Where I did need to eliminate the build up of wax, I used mineral spirits and steel wool. Once I applied the wax, I did need to buff the floor to bring out the shine.

Just used the maple pine and left on a few mins. did section by section directions say wipe on and off and that is probably better as the floor is a bit darker HOWEVER. The floor was wretched with loss of finish in several places. It is now totally acceptable. After drying, used paste wax and then buffed. The floor is a save. We are selling the house and this saved refinishing
