Out kitchen floor is old sheet linoleum. I am planning to strip the wax&amp;glow wax with amonia and then re wax using this wax. Any potential problems?

I leave the wax in and reuse it. Just plug it in a few hours ahead and it should be fine.

Just used the maple pine and left on a few mins. did section by section directions say wipe on and off and that is probably better as the floor is a bit darker HOWEVER. The floor was wretched with loss of finish in several places. It is now totally acceptable. After drying, used paste wax and then buffed. The floor is a save. We are selling the house and this saved refinishing

I don't know. I used it on my quarry tile cellar floor and am very happy with it. After using the wax, I used another liquid wax I bought at the local supermarket to give it a higher gloss. I must say that we had our wood floors sanded and polyurethaned and were very happy with that.

ehhh i really wouldn't advise that. if you ever wanted to use any other type of wax, it'd be a pain in the butt to clean out. i'd recommend instead getting a tin can (maybe a coffee tin?) that can fit inside the warmer, and then putting the honey wax in THAT.

Most definitely! Apply it with a slightly damp, small, pre-used sponge. Allow product/glass to dry to a haze, then easily buff to a shine with a soft, dry towel. Brand-new sponges tend to have a chemical that might cause the wax to be difficult to "buff off" once it has dried...that's why I specified "pre-used."

You could use any 'food safe' mineral oil. For this special board I'm using 'Butcher Block Conditioner' by Howard Products Inc. It has food grade mineral oil & natural waxes.

Really well, my house has all hardwood floors with linoleum in the kitchen. We have several area rugs as well, but for the most part just wood. The vacuum transitions really well from wood to the area rugs or any surface. I am very pleased with how well it works on the wood.

I'll answer, "Probably," but I don't know for sure. Once fully cured just setting something down and picking it back up shouldn't be problem, but I wouldn't use this on a food surface that's going to see heavy use (like a cutting board or salad bowl). For a truly food-safe finish wipe the unfinished surface with a food-grade mineral oil. You'll have to reapply it occasionally but it won't cause any problems. For a longer lasting finish heat the oil just enough melt in pure beeswax in a 3 parts oil to 1 part wax ratio and rub that into the wood, then buff off the excess once it's cooled.

Frankly I do not know about linoleum. But, if you want to know you could check with the company who makes it. I use it on laminate floors.

It depends on the finish. If they're finished with a thick, glossy polyurethane spar varnish, you're basically cleaning plastic, so this might be okay if you make it dilute enough. If it has a rubbed oil finish, a degreaser will strip the finish. If the finish has become too degraded, you might need to strip it, but using a water-based degreaser will raise the wood grain, which is not desirable. You'd be better off cleaning with lemon oil and then applying a finishing oil. In any case, your best course is to follow the manufacturer's care instructions.

I've only used it on ceramic tile and hardwood floors. It should be safe for linoleum.

I don't remember if we did!. Sorry, but it went on so smoothly and evening with a sponge mop (with an old towel). We then buffed it with our electric buffer to bring out the shine. The wax has been on for almost 3 months and it is the first wax in 27 years that has 'worked' on our natural wood KITCHEN floors. I am extremely pleased with it.

I used my own wax and everything seemed okay. I think you should be fine I used my own wax cause I didn't really like the finish the 3m left. I wanted a better shine.

Agree with posted comments. We have black Richlite counters which are porous and stain easily. Osmo oil has worked better than the installer's attempt at sealing. Make sure to apply it with a lint free cloth. If applying two coats be sure to wipe down between coats with tack cloth and allow it to dry completely. No, it does not leave a residue like mineral oil.
