Do Make Sure You Have Enough Polish

When it comes to wood floor polish, there's a sure method of finding how much you need. That way, you won't run out or buy too much.

Finding the square footage of your floor is easier than you probably think. All you have to do is measure the length and width of a given room and multiply those numbers together. There are apps that can help too.

A 24-ounce bottle of floor polish will only cover about 350 square feet. A bigger, 32-ounce bottle will help you cover about 500 square feet.

Do Clean Your Floor Beforehand

Before you can even think of breaking out the floor polish, you need to make sure the floor is clean first.

You'll need to remove all those toys, dog beds, mats, bulky pieces of furniture, and more. After that, you'll have to clean the floor of dust and grime.

Once the floor is squeaky clean and your workspace is free of obstacles, you can finally begin to polish away.

Don't Use Another Container

You might be tempted to put your hardwood floor polish into another container, such as a bucket or your own spray bottle. However, this can cause trouble with consistency, application, and more.

To make things easy, stick with the container it comes in and apply it to the floor in even, S-shapes.

Don't Use a Sponge or String Mop

Using anything other than a microfiber pad can damage your floor. This is why you should avoid sponges, string mops, and wring mops at all costs.

Microfiber pads are designed to be gentle on your floors, which means you don't have to worry about scratches. When using the pad, you shouldn't scrub or rub the floor polish. Easy wiping is the way to go.

Do Wait a Couple of Hours

Of course, it will be difficult to enjoy your home if you can't walk on the floor. However, for the best results possible, you should wait for 1 to 2 hours before you walk on the floor. You should also wear socks during that time.

When it comes to pets, furniture, and more, you should wait for a full 24 hours.
