Why are my floors covered in acrylic wax?
Unfortunately, the hardwood floor cleaning market is flooded with fraudulent ‘floor redeemers’ such as Murphy’s Oil Soap, Pine-Sol, and more. Sadly, you may have fallen victim to their false advertising. These products are terrible for your floors; although they may temporarily make your wood shiny, they quickly dull them and leave a waxy residue behind. So be careful when searching the stores for floor cleaners. If you aren’t sure where to start and what to avoid, check out some of our other blogs! Now that you know why your floors are waxy and oily let’s investigate how to remove it.
