My wife uses these on all of our floors, tile and hardwood. we haven't seen any problem using them of both type of waxed floors.

These work incredibly well on hardwood floors. I'm sure it'd be more effective on carpet vs. the current wooden surface, but if your carpet is plush, the difference may only be moderate.

Yes it would work but for dusting microfiber would be better - they are nice lambswool I used them to apply stain to floors or wax but they would dust dry

you'll want to use the plastic hand/foot bags....make less mess and easily pulls wax off by grabbing plastic above wax and pulling down, removing the wax. The terry-cloth hand/foot mits are a nice option...not necessary. Love, love, love it! you will, too!

No. Waxes are not for high use areas. They have to be reapplied periodically. You should sand, stain, and seal your authentic wood floors. I use this Briwax and numerous other products. Briwax is nice for the signs I paint/stencil. This isn't as nice as Annie Sloan soft wax for sealing a chalk painted piece. Any builder's supply, hardware, or Pinterest can direct you how to finish your floors. Worth the money to pay somebody to do it right if you're not crafty/handy like this. Hope this helped�

The website says to use on Any floors. However, the wet Swiffer cloths say **Do not use Swiffer Sweeper wet mopping cloths on unfinished, oiled, or waxed wooden boards, non-sealed tiles or carpeted floors because they may be water sensitive. " I love the dry cloths! Hope this helps.

So often the residue left behind from cleaners seem to be a magnet for dirt. I would suggest you prep your floors with some of these cleaning techniques from Better Homes and Gardens. http://www.bhg.com/homekeeping/house-cleaning/surface/how-to-clean-hardwood-floors/. . then get some Bona and use a cotton mop to clean your hardwood floors as needed. My friend and I found the cotton mop to be an essential part of a clean floor. I do hope you find these contributions helpful.

I only used this product on wood, so I can't help you. It was very good on the wood flooring.

I don't use polish, I use bona laminate/hard wood spray cleaner or you can use an off brand for cleaning. If you really mean a "polish" I don't see why you couldn't. The pads are washable after use. Really a great product!

Yes, they can be used to clean wood floors and tiles. I sewed one to cover the end of a Swiffer handle instead of reusing disposable cloths. It works like a charm. They also work very well wet to clean my tiles. I use them on every surface.

They are kinda different than wax...different consistency....so would lean toward "probably"...also, I break them by hand down to 2-3 pieces to make them go further...work fine that way. (I keep them in my garage and gets up into the 100's during summer months with no change in them...)

The Minwax floor Cleaner will clean them, and certainly make them look better but you won't have any 'finish' look, the areas. There's restore/finisher products that will give you some shine and make the floors look better for a while. I happen to like the Minwax Reviver product. Its not as finicky to apply as some of the 'restore' products and the floors will look better.

Generally agree with jt that these should not be used on hardwood floors, which I have. I'm not even going to try it as I'm renting. I'll just say the packaging says "for carpets" and also reads as follows "to prevent scratches on hard floor surfaces, floors should be kept free of dirt and grit. Scratches may occur if dirt or other particles become trapped between the Super slider and floor."

Don't believe they are intended to be used with cleaner. I use cloths and alcohol pads.(seperately)

Not sure I would use this on hardwood floors, unless you have/use a buffer. Since it is a wax, it is best left on to dry, then rubbed off. I use Murphy's oil soap on my floors, and have good results.

Have never used paste wax with these pads and not sure they should be used that way.

My suggestion would be to just throw them into the washing machine. I accidentally washed my pair of expense waxed jeans and the wax came off.
