Go-To Guide: Finish and Maintain
Whether you have kids at home or just love to entertain, keeping your floors tidy and clean can be a real challenge. Quick Shine® Floor Finish is the perfect choice to shine and protect your floors against foot traffic and prevent them from looking dull or worn. Our quick and easy application transforms any room within minutes. Below is a quick go-to guide on finishing and maintaining your floors to WOW your guests of all ages.
FINISH IT
- Dry dust mop prior to applying Quick Shine® Multi-Surface Finish or Hardwood Luster to remove any dust/debris from your floors.
- After the floor is free of debris, pet hair and dust squirt Finish in an S-shape on the floor.
- Using broad even strokes spread the finish with a damp microfiber mop or sponge mop working in small 5 by 5-foot sections at a time
- Dries to a gloss in 30 minutes
- After the floor is completely dry additional coats can be applied using the same method as above if a higher gloss is desired
MAINTAIN IT
- Keep the finish glow fresh by dry dusting weekly with a dry microfiber mop to eliminate everyday dust and debris.
- For heavier dirt, footprints, spills, or soil use Quick Shine® Cleaners to maintain the finish gloss.
- Simply squirt onto the floor in an S-shape and spread with a clean, freshly rinsed sponge mop or microfiber mop pad. It is important to wring the pad frequently in order to release the dirt from the pad to prevent streaking and hazing.
- You can also use Quick Shine® Cleaners in our Quick Shine Spray Mop for a more convenient cleaning method. Again, rinse the mop pad frequently to prevent hazing and clouding.
REFRESH IT
- Every 2-4 months reapply a fresh new coat of Quick Shine® Multi-Surface or Hardwood Finish to enhance the glow.
- Each time you refresh repeat the “Maintain It” bullet points above for maximum gloss protection.
PREVENT IT
- Establish floor mats or throw rugs at entryways and walkways to minimize the abrasion of the finish caused by dirt and grit tracking.
- Place felt-tipped protectors on the bottoms of chairs and furniture legs.
- Keep pet nails trimmed.
- Try going shoeless as sock traffic is better than shoe traffic.
Can I use quick shine on sanded floor
Hi Cristina,
The sanded floor will need to be resealed first as our Finish is water based and could absorb into the pores of the wood.
I applied in my wood floor and a section actually looks like it was missed… I was instructed to use ammonia and warm water to blend the finish and re apply where it looked missing…. did not work.should I steam clean the floor to remove and start again?
Hi,
We recommend removing the finish completely with Quick Shine Deep Cleaner if the ammonia and water mixture did not work. It is important to allow the solution to sit for 3-4 minutes to allow proper time to dissolve through the finish.
Hi I sweep and sweep and dust mop my floors before using quick shine …after I clean them. But invariably I notice particles of this or that sealed in the shine in places! It’s annoying. How do I get them up and prevent them?????? Help@!@
Hi Katherine,
If the particles are embedded into the layer of finish, you will need to remove the finish in order to clean your floors thoroughly. We recommend using Quick Shine Deep Cleaner to safely remove our finish. You can also spot treat the affected areas if the entire floor is not compromised.
Love the product but if I can’t reapply in 2-4 months will it be shiney in some areas and dull in others? I’m older so it depends on how I’m feeling.
No, once you reapply in a few months, you will not see any inconsistency in wear pattern. We have self leveling agents in our formula that will provide an even appearance throughout.
