You can use it safely on old floors. Minwax is excellent for cleaning the wood, it does not add shine. It works perfectly on unfinished wood without discoloring. But it won't blend the compromised parts back in with the finished areas.

Ours are 10 years and this product works great for a weekly cleaner. I used the Minwax Reviver - high gloss - for a few areas that were scratched pretty severe. It buffed the scratches right out and I can't even find the scratched areas now.

My floors are pretty old. I have tried all sorts of waxes and I have found that this wax and cleaner has improved the look. Old floors are never going to look like new but this product has helped.

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.

Our floors are new and so I do not know how it would work on older floors. Sorry.

My floors are concrete I would not know. What I do know is that I have had them for 2 years and have gotten some heavy use out of them and they still look as good as the day I got them. With good maintenance I have definitely gotten my dollars worth.

I have laminate. According to the manufacturer it is safe to use the lower heat on wood floors but apparently it can cause them to look dull after time.

I went on the SC Johnson flooring site (makes Pledge products) & it recommends the use of Pledge Multi-Purpose Floor Shine for laminate floors. Here is the link to their website floor products. [http://www.floorcareproducts.com/index.asp] I'm 62 & I've seen a lot of floor finish products in my life & I am not Susie Homemaker by any stretch. I've always liked Future & Klear ( it never yellows - another SC Johnson product - alas, no longer produced) & it makes for great looking floors that are much easier to keep clean & good looking even with children & lots of Irish Setters (big water dogs, big feet, lots of fur & love to share dirt & water with you in the house). I would do my floors every six months when in my homemaking stage & less frequently when not. Future makes them glow/shine & the coverage lasts & lasts for a really long time.

Yes, I've found that the lighter color works better on dark floors. The darker wax can add undesired color to an older floor.

I have laminated wood flooring and have not had a problem. No damage as of yet.

Yes, I have prefinished hardwood floors in the entry way of my home and I use the steamer on them with no problem. I was weary at first because of the finish and glue but it hasn't affected either.

I bought this product and liked it, but the new finish didn't last. But, I may need a more professional resurfacing fir my floor. Sorry I'm not much help.....

I did not need to strip my floors as they were new installs. However, I think it would probably be a good idea to do so IF you have already put other finish applications on them. This finish is high gloss & very durable. IF I were going to stip, I would use a steam cleaner on them rather than a "stripper" product so as to not leave any other product residues on the floors. I absolutely love this product. I applied it several months ago now, & still doesn't need to be re-applied.

Our white oak floor with the OSMO finish has been down for 6 months and looks like new. We also have two flat coat retrievers that run through it constantly. I would highly recommend this product.

I cannot answer your question about wood floors as we use them on laminate floors. Sorry.

I don't know what you consider "long term", but I have been using steam on my hardwood floors for about 3 years now, with absolutely no problems. The key to it is the fact that you are using steam, and not lots of water that is pooling on your hardwood floors.

Hi, can Quick Shine be used on urethaned hardwood floors? I read somewhere not to use wax on this type of finish.

Yes it can but is not recommended for floors with worn finish, bare wood or wood floors with separated joints.

YES! It was originally designed for wood floors. I had tile floors previously and it worked great. I have real oak floors throughout my home now and it seems to work even better on the wood. My sister has laminate wood floors and we've used it there with great results as well, although it did seem to leave streaks on her floors but I think that's just from the residue buildup of her usual floor cleaner. The same thing happened on my tile until all the residue was lifted off. If she used it regularly it would eventually melt away all of that residue and leave a streak-free finish.

I've used on perfinished with no problems, I've used it on oak and maple. I'll be installing another floor next week and it's a perfinished cherry.
