Floor wax advantages.

Waxing has some advantages and disadvantages. Back before polyurethane finishes became common for floors starting in the 1970s wood floors in older homes had wax finishes. Waxing is arguably the most effective way to get rid of unwanted facial or body hair. Moisture ruins the wood s integrity and durability.

A layer of wax on the floor seals it and can prevent the wood from absorbing spills which can cause bulging. The wax is left to dry and glue to the hair and as the wax is removed from the skin it pulls the hair with it. If waxing is properly done it can take about a week for hair to grow back on the skin. With wood floor wax your wood floors have that elegant look that can make your entire home look radiant.

By waxing your floors you are bound to reap a variety of benefits including. Enlisting a towel for solid wax or a sponge mop with a terry cloth head for liquid wax rub the cloth or glide the mop over two foot sections of the floor at a time. The application of the wax can be done with a soft damp cloth and worked into the floor s surface until it is completely covered. The finish is that final layer of protection for a wood floor and a wax finish can look really great.

These are just a few of the qualities that make water based polyurethane one of the most popular hardwood floor finishes for the home.
