Does this wax make the hardwood floor slippery?

We're getting our house ready to put on the market and haven't used this product yet. I am in hopes it will restore a faded area where the rug was. Will respond as soon as I use it.

This is only to be used for for restoration/damaged wood. If the floors have been previously coated in a polyurethane coating (typical non-wax type floor treatment), it will bead up and ruin your floors. But the good news is it won't make your floors slippery :)

I use it on oak flooring that is 45 years old. Used to use Tayor heavy duty floor wax but they stopped making it. found this as a substitute. Sometimes I use past wax.

NO!!! This tape is AWESOME! We had it down for several months on our hardwood; it was a bit difficult to peel (kept splitting into thinner strips), simply because it had been vacuumed, mopped, played on, etc. There was absolutely ZERO residue.My husband (carpenter, home improvement contractor, wood floor snob ;) ) LOVES this product, and so do my 3 yr old son and 7 yr old daughter.I'm a hero w this stuff!

My hardwood floors have high gloss polyurethane coating and I only use this product. Have never had the shine removed or shoes stick.

No, I routinely apply it while we are standing on hardwood floors and my dog has no traction problems.

It doesn't affect wood floors at all. It's kinds hard to use on wood floors if they are slippery but it won't damage them.

I wouldn't buy this product again for my wood floors and I certainly would not use this expensive stuff on no wax vinyl!

I used this regularly on the floors in a fitness studio and it would dry pretty quickly. Did not have any issues with making it slippery.

Yes, and it is more sticky then slippery, and it did nothing but dull the wood floor.

No - this product will not dull or ruin hardwood flooring. It is certified by the CRI to protect your assets (your flooring and furniture).

I don't know for sure but it does a very good job on every floor I have used it on. It is fantastic wax . I would say try a small area out of sight. I would not be afraid to try it.

I don't remember if we did!. Sorry, but it went on so smoothly and evening with a sponge mop (with an old towel). We then buffed it with our electric buffer to bring out the shine.The wax has been on for almost 3 months and it is the first wax in 27 years that has 'worked' on our natural wood KITCHEN floors. I am extremely pleased with it.

No, it does not give the high shine I was looking for. I first used it straight but it made my floor sticky. Now I use it diluted (1/2 water) and it leaves the floor less tacky (but still is a little). No shine. For hardwood floor, I used to use Pinesol (diluted) and I received many compliments that my floor was shiny. For other surfaces, I find Bona Multisurface works the best and it gives the surface sheen with no stickiness.

This is a little hat to reply to as I don't know the donation or type of floor. I used the swifter on laminate flooring which did NOT make the floor slippery. This is a cleaner! I bought another Swifer for my hardwood floors up in N.E. The finish on the floors itself, can make the floors slippery until they are dried but I would not blame the Swifer. Let it dry!

I have engineered hardwood flooring & I use Bona Pro on them. It has not had any kind of adverse affect whatsoever on my floor & in fact, leaves a beautiful shine. VERY pleased with this product!

Yes. I called Bruce and this is the product they recommend since they no longer make a floor wax.

I have only used the Boston wax on hardwood floors and on furniture (no white spots). Don't know about getting rid of those; However, I would get rid of the spots before applying the wax and recommend very light application of wax followed by lots of light buffing with the grain.
