We have stained concrete floors in our house. can we use this over them and do we need to remove any sealant or wax that's on the floor first?

The problem with most floor coatings is getting them to adhere over the long haul. I don't think stain would be a problem but the coating on top like clear coat and wax may be. When I apply it on other than a new floor I use a floor grinder to be sure and provide a keyed surface after filling all the cracks. This coating is very industrial - it is opaque grey - it is great in a garage but I am not sure I would use it in another room especially if it was stained already.

probably not. you should contact the chemical's manufacturer or a flooring expert. wood stains I think are a different problem because of the materials being treated.

I used lightly on cherry wood floors. Gave a dusty look for several days then I vacuumed up and later washed floor. Concrete is next to impossible to get up but wood okay.

if you are going to polish a concrete floor this is not the tool for the job! you need torent a big floor wet grinder-then most importantly use a good urethane sealer!! then you can mop all you want.

Trewax Tile indoor/out door is really great on floors, but can't say wet for a long time, water that sit on it will make wax peel.

I wouldnt use it, it is made for no wax lino or tile. It restores the sheen to dull floors. You need to apply periodically

Depends, this polisher uses pads and abrasives to polish by removing the surface material, oxidation and metal. I have used it to polish old brass and copper bathroom fixtures which I then coated with clear urethane to preserve the shine. If you are looking to get rid of build up without removing material from the surface this is not the answer. There are liquid products design to do that. Even a floor wax remover would work.

I used the ardell adhesive remover it worked fine for me. I tried it on a hidden area on my floor before applying it to the spot I wanted removed. Hope this helps

NO, use a good quality Epoxy Stain.. If the floor is cured concrete, cure time is usually one to two years or more.

I have never had a problem with damage or stains. Please keep in mind regular floor cleaning is the key to keeping the looks up on a hardwood floor. Once a week I always remove the Matt, mop wood floors with clean hot water and will leave the Matt at a different area of the floor over night soas the usual covered area had a chance to air out.

I have not tried on my wood floors. I have used it on my tiled kitchen floors. We bought our home 3 years ago and after years of wax build up the floor were yellow. This is the only product that has worked. It works almost on contact. I used it right out of the container, pour onto the wax build up area, let it set for a few min. and I actually scrubbed the first time on my hands and knees. My floor came out beautifully. Restored to original luster. I love this stuff. I do plan to do the wood floors this spring. I hope this helps!

HI Jack You can paint over this product because it does not have repellent properties. However, i recommend waiting for a couple of days after application to see if any white residue is expelled from the concrete. Regards Mike Stone Technologies Corp 423-503-4490

I applied it using a micro fiber towel, working a 1 sq foot section at a time i just put 2 beads on the towel and rub it on the vinyl rubbing hard for the tough stains and it got them all out. You need to have a good quality micro fiber towel and i would recommend Chemical Guys MIC50706, they are great. I did not wash the vinyl prior to application.

It did peel off concrete and floor tile fairly easy. I would recommend cleaning floor very well let dry and then apply came up with little to know residue.

Goes right over level concrete. I used floor leveler and a steel straightedge to make sure it was flat for the flooring (the degree of flatness you need depends on your flooring's tolerances, the underlayment doesn't care). My flooring was okay with 1/8" per 6 feet "out of level". This underlayment works great over concrete.

I've used "Amaziing Solutions" with hot water on my grout and tile floors. No stains here. I like this product for all over the house. Carpet, tile, kennel trays, and the awkward areas my male decides to aim on, lol

I apply it the old fashion way...rags. Because you are cleaning the floor and waxing at the same time, you need to have multiple rags handy. They will get very dirty. I go over some spots several times. You will know where that is needed as you apply One Step. I've been using One Step yearly for a very long time and get compliments on my hardwood floors all the time. Good luck!
