Waxing floors
There are two types of wax to use on hard surface floors: water-base and
solvent base.
Water-base wax
Water-base wax is a self-pol-
ishing wax which does not con-
tain a petroleum solvent. It can
be used on all hard surface floors
except wood and cork.
Follow the directions on the
container to apply. Do not
polish or buff this wax.
Solvent-base wax
Solvent-base wax can be identified by the caution statement: “Flam-
mable” or “Combustible” on the label. It is used on wood or cork floors
and can be polished and buffed when dry.
Do not use solvent-base wax
on asphalt or rubber tile or other hard surface floors unless specified
by the manufacturer.
