Regular cleaning with a damp mop or wipe cloth is generally adequate. Stains can be scrubbed with a long-handled brush.
(1) First, clean the flooring thoroughly. Any grime can be carefully scrubbed away using a neutral detergent and 3M’s red scrub pad.
(2) Spray the floor cleaner (please use as directed) on the flooring. Use the floor buffer to clean the grime from the floor then dry with a dry mop. Now, wipe down the floor thoroughly with clean water (if no floor buffer is available, other tools can be used to carefully polish the grime away).
(3) Wait for the floor to dry then poor water-based wax onto a clean, dry mop then just apply evenly over the floor.
(4) Wait 20 minutes until the surface wax is dry before setting foot on the floor. An electric fan can be directed at the floor to dry it more quickly. Based on past experience, it takes floor wax about 8 hours to dry thoroughly after application. Heavy objects should only be moved after this time when the wax has thoroughly dried. This will help to keep the floor looking bright and glossy.

If the flooring has been in use for some time and had been waxed repeatedly, once the surface begins to show signs of yellowing then dewaxing is required.

Once the dewaxing agent has penetrated into the flooring, wet the flooring with water. All of the old wax must be thoroughly removed to ensure a fresh new look after rewaxing.
(6) Once all of the wax is removed, follow steps 1 ~ 4 for cleaning and maintenance.
