Sunday, February 19th, 2012Wood Floor Cleaning: Removing Rejuvenate or Orange Glow From your Floors
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011Removing products like Rejuvenate or Orange Glo from your wood or laminate floors can be a very tough, costly and fustrating job if you don’t know what you are doing.
We recently had a customer hire us to clean and remove the product “Rejuvenate” from her new laminate floors which had caused an uneven and blotchy sheen. We were able to remove the product and clean her laminate floors following these steps
Products needed:
- • Spray bottle (optional)
- • Scotch-Brite abrasive pad (green scrub pad with yellow sponge-NOT an SOS, Brillo or steel wool pad)
- • Soft towels
- • New and well rinsed sponge mop OR terrycloth mop
- • Rubber/latex gloves and safety goggles (recommended to prevent eye/skin irritation when handling IFT)
Process
It’s best to begin with a test section in an inconspicuous area (i.e. behind a door). We recommend working in
small sections as you complete this process. Complete all steps before moving onto another section of the
floor.
1. Apply a SMALL amount of the IFT solution to a section of the floor. Use a spray bottle to mist the floor
or squirt a small amount and spread it with a soft cloth. Apply only enough cleaner to wet the floor.
2. Use the abrasive pad and scrub the area. This should remove the wax buildup.
3. After scrubbing the area, wipe the section with a water dampened cloth.
4. The final step is to apply Squeaky Cleaner with a microfiber mop. No water rinse is necessary after this
cleaner is applied. Wipe/mop the floor until it is dry – do not leave the floor wet.
If this is successful in removing the contaminant, proceed with the rest of the floor, following all steps. You may
need to repeat steps 1 & 2 more than once.
If you are not successful in removing the contaminant with this process, you need to remove the remaining
product by abrading the floor (screening or sanding). It is recommended to hire a professional flooring
contractor if abrasion techniques are required.

Does Your Wood Floor Need to be Recoated or Refinished?
Thursday, March 4th, 2010A complete refinishing may be necessary
National Cleaning Specialist of Tampa Bay recommends if areas of your floor have been worn down to the bare wood, if the floor has deep stains or color differences in the wood, if there’s chipping or peeling, or if your floor cannot be re coated due to factors discussed above, you’ll have to do a complete refinish.
If these signs are not readily apparent,you can use this simple test to determine what care your floors need:
Take this simple test
Find a high traffic area where the finish is likely to be the most worn, and pour a tablespoon of water onto the floor.
If the water beads up and you can wipe it without a trace, the finish is still working and you don’t need to do anything just yet.
If the water slowly soaks into the wood floor, creating a moderately darkish spot, the floor is partially worn. You may be able to get away with a recoating. Consult your wood flooring contractor for the best course of action.
If the water immediately disappears into the wood leaving an obvious dark spot, it’s time to refinish the floor.
For routine cleaning of wood floors by sweeping and vacuuming along with use of Squeaky Cleaner will maintain the floor’s original appearance.
