How to Use Quick Shine® Deep Cleaner Like a Pro
Are your floors in need of a refresh? If you’re ready to bring back that WOW factor, Quick Shine® Deep Cleaner/Wax Remover is here to help! Whether you need to remove old layers of floor finish or tackle years of buildup, follow our step-by-step guide for the best results and learn how to use Quick Shine Deep Cleaner like a pro.
Why Use Quick Shine® Deep Cleaner?
Quick Shine® Deep Cleaner was specifically formulated to deep clean and safely remove our Quick Shine® Floor Finish, as well as other waxes and finishes—without damaging sealed hardwood floors, polyurethane seal, or other sealed hard floor surfaces.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Quick Shine® Deep Cleaner
Follow these six simple steps to restore your floors:
1. Dilute the Deep Cleaner in HOT Water
Mix Quick Shine® Deep Cleaner in a bucket with hot water—the hotter, the better! Hot water increases the cleaner’s effectiveness for breaking down layers of finish. Small batches help keep the water hot!
2. Apply in Small Sections
Use a sponge mop or the Quick Shine® Hardwood Floor Mop to apply the solution. Work in small 5’x5’ sections to make removal and clean-up more manageable.
3. Let the Solution Sit (But Don’t Let It Dry!)
Allow the solution to sit for a few minutes to break down the finish. Caution: Do not let it dry on the floor—if it starts to dry, add a little warm water to keep the surface wet.
4. Watch for the Milky White Film
As the Quick Shine® Floor Finish lifts from your floor, it will turn into a milky white film. This indicates that the removal process is working!
5. Scrub Away the Finish
Use our microfiber scrubber pad to agitate the area. Elbow grease may be needed to remove stubborn dirt and multiple layers of finish.
6. Rinse and Repeat
Once the finish is removed, rinse the area with clean, warm water and allow it to dry before moving to the next section. Repeat steps 1-6 for the entire floor.
Extra Tips for Stubborn Build-Up
- For heavy layers of finish, a second treatment may be necessary.
- Increase dilution from 1 cup per gallon to 2-3 cups per gallon for a stronger cleaning solution.
- One bottle of Deep Cleaner makes 3.5 gallons (at 1 cup per gallon), covering up to 500 square feet.
Bring Back the Shine with Quick Shine® Floor Finish
Once your floors are completely dry, apply a fresh coat of Quick Shine® Floor Finish or Quick Shine® Hardwood Floor Luster to restore their shine. Your floors will look like new again!
