When doing hardwood floors, do you need a new one for each coat of polyurethane or can I keep using the same one?

Keep using the same one just rinse it clean. My husband put it on a piece of wood attached to a mop handle.

After use for one coat, I rinsed the lambwool with mineral oil, kept it in a sandwich bag to keep it from drying and then reused it for the next coating. No problem.

Yes. To make sure I applied a base coat and the 2 coats of my color. Just make sure to dry well in between. I did this last February and floor has held up well.

It is my understanding that the only thing different is the solution used. One is for hardwood and one for tile. I actually do like it..but I still remind everyone beware how slippery it is. My daughter uses it for her hardwood floors and she likes it alot.

I asked their technical support dept this same question and the answer was "should be ok for most hardwood floor finishes but use caution and test in an inconspicuous area especially if the floor finish is old/soft." because my concerns were about what might happen long term, not just within a few minutes of "testing," i asked more questions. it sounded to me that the tape would more likely become less sticky over time rather than my concern that it could become permanent or difficult to remove. so i went ahead and taped a rug to a hardwood floor. the tape was very effective given the type of rug (kilim). then i started becoming a little nervous about potential tape residue over time (in spite of it sounding unlikely while talking to the rep) so i removed the tape. it had been there for something like half a week and it pulled up off of the floor very easily and had no impact on the finish and did not leave any residue at all. if you still have concerns, it was super easy to reach the IPG person using the phone number inside the cardboard core of the tape roll. good luck!

I have been using this on my sealed hardwood floors for about 7mo, and I have not had any problems.

Yes, if you follow the correct procedures for application. The work depends on how the surface absorbs the polyurethane. When I used it on oak, it took three coats sanding lightly with 220 grit sand paper between each coat. Use a tack cloth or clean damp cloth to wipe all dust off between coats. Best applied with a foam brush. Do not place in direct sunlight on a hot day to dry or the finish will bubble. And have fun!

Yes. This is the third time over the years we bought this package. My wife loves it for our hardwood floors.

I don't have vinyl floors but the package says "Use: On all polyurethane finished real wood floors and all brands of laminated wood floors as well." Since it does not mention vinyl, I would say no.

I noticed the DC25 left a scratch on our new engineered wood floor. My solution was to wrap the wheels and the middle section of the ball with masking tape. Kind of a nuisance to have to do that with a $400 vacuum, but it no longer scratches!

it does say in the instructions not to varnish or use polyurethane. They recommend an oil to rub it down to keep the wood conditioned and it doesn't affect your food. I live in the west where it's dry so I keep mine oiled. I love it.

I use on my hardwood floors that has Poly urethane on them. My som tried on laminate he had to strip off due to having two boxers and you could see scratches all over. If you have no inside fur babies it might work. Hope this helps.

I used it on polyurethane finish hardwood floors. Love it, bring out the beauty again. I have dogs and they bring in sand which was taking the finish off where they laid down. I only use it about every other month and it lasts a long time. Highly recommend.

You don't need any additional underlayment if your flooring comes already attached with it. I used this first step underlayment upstairs for bamboo flooring and happy with it.

I do not have hardwood floors. However, I don't believe it should scratch your floors but check it out by calling Dyson anyway or checking the web site for specific info on this floor tool.

It's best to remove and start again when using two different types, water and solvent based sealer. If you are using water based on water based, it may work well, almost used as a second coat, which is common, as long as there are not opposing chemicals in the two types of sealer.Matt DenyerOwnerBrevard Outdoor Services

I do one coat and Floor Revive works so well I don't think you will need a second coat. I put it on by hand with a small sponge and one bottle covers 300 square feet. So 3 coats on 500 square = 5 bottles.
