So, is this d-limonene that is a replacement for turpentine and can be added to Tung Oil for floor finishing or not?

I have successfully used it as a thinner for several wood finishes, including Tung Oil. It behaves a bit differently than turpentine, mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, and acetone but seems to solvate well for every finish I have used it with. It is great for cleanup afterwards and smells much better than any of the others. As a cleaner and degreaser it is better than anything else I have ever used in 60+ years.

There's actually no such thing as 5-fold d-Limonene. 'Folded oil" doesn't contain any d-Limonene either. So the answer to your question is no.

I would assume so. I haven't used esential oils in this way. I make my own "poo-pouri". I do know that it would have to be used sparingly, because full-strength would stain your hands and clothing. I put a few drops on a washcloth and it stained it yellowish-brown. Good luck!

Label says 100% tung oil. I've used it before on unfinished wood and been very happy with the outcome. I am not such a great handyperson but it was relatively easy to use. Back warns of combustion risk.

I bought this brand over 5 years ago and turpentine oil was the first ingredient listed on the box. So perhaps they now have changed their formula and eliminated the turpentine oil?

As far as I know Orange TKO uses food grade d'limonene, that's it. When diluted with water it can be used to clean multiple things and is completely safe for most uses. If you want more info I'd suggest you email the company http://orangetko.net/order_form#overlay-context=order_form OR call them at (888) 264-8575. They would be able to give you a better explanation then I.

Yes, we use them on our tung-oil finished floors all the time. I pre-treat with a vinegar-water spray & then mop up with the steam mop.

We had a house with a butcher block countertop and the guy who installed it recommended this oil as being the best. I was told it is maple oil. The product is great, looks and feels like oil but it needs to be applied every other month to keep the wood looking beautiful. I used up all the bottles. In the meanwhile, we moved to another house, so I never needed to order the product again. But I was very pleased with it.

I've only used tung oil on virgin wood. Oils will lift-up most paints so I don't recommend it.

Not sure, but i've used it and you do have to buff it out. Not as good as Bruce floor wax, but I can't find Bruce anywhere now.

I'm not sure about this because I have never tried it. The bottle does say that it is safe to use in all refillable spay mops. I have never had a problem with this leaving a film on my laminate wood floors.

I have used only RO water in my mop. The scented water that came with it smelled awful, in my opinion. However, I do put a few drops of essential oil on the inside of the mop pad. The steam diffuses the smell nicely, and it hasn't left any oily streaks or spots on my floor. I use mostly lavender because I like that smell but I've also used grapefruit, mint, whatever oil I have on hand.

To me the product has a pleasant aroma that I equate with clean. It is not strong or irritating, but it isa mildly fragrant floor cleaner when used according to directions. It is a more definite aroma than theoriginal Murphy's Oil Soap that I prefer.

I don't know how to answer that question because this product is a cleaner. It says "Specially formulated for all no-wax, urethane finished hardwood and laminate floors." I'm sorry.

No. It is not an oil but a liquid wax that penetrates and seals. ( I suspect it has some tung oil in the formula) It dries quite hard and resists water bit don't leave a wet sponge or soap dish with water residue in the same place or you will have some discoloration. Apply thinly, let set a bit, wipe off excess and repeat again in 16-24 hours until you like the level of sheen. It beautifully brings out any irridescent qualities in the grain. I've used in on Ikea butcher block counters with very good results. Does not pick up dust and grime as mineral oil can sometimes do.

Here are th instructions on the label: "Specifically formulated to clean all types of unwaxed, residential and commercial polyurethane finished wood floors. Quickly wipe out red wine, dried spaghetti sauce, mustard, ketchup, and heel scuffs. Unlike all-purpose cleaners, this cleaner will not dull your floor finish or leave an oily residue. A waterborne, non-toxic, environmentally responsible cleaner." I believe you will be pleased with this product on your floors. It has worked extremely well on my hardwood floors. Hope this helps.

The listing includes calling this d-limonene, and says that it is 95% d-limonene. I've worked with a lot of chemicals where someone or other insists calling the chemical by a different name. You'd have to try it, since I think d-limonene is the same, no matter what it is called. This is marketed by a company which deals in fragrances, so I'd expect because it is food grade, you would do well with it. I'll be changing my rating to 5 stars, as my first shipment of it didn't come with an MSDS (it is combustible), but this one did.

I was told redwood should dry out for one month before applying stain but I'm not 100% sure about Tung oil. I would contact Real Milk Company on their website to be sure.
