What needs to be done before a floor is re-waxed?

Before re-waxing a floor, it is important to completely remove old layers and accumulated dirt residues. Build-up of wax layers can result in an uneven surface and poor adhesion of the new wax layer. This can lead to a less durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. Thorough cleaning of the floor with a specialized product ensures optimal adhesion of the new treatment and restores the floor to its original appearance.

Lecol OH34 Wax Remover removes old layers and perfectly prepares floors for a new treatment.

Lecol OH34 Wax Remover is a powerful solvent-based cleaner designed for thorough removal of old wax, grease, and dirt residues. The product is suitable for wax-maintained floors such as parquet or linoleum. Apply Lecol OH34 by treating the floor in sections to avoid quick drying. Allow the product to sit for about a minute, then scrub the surface with a cloth, scrubbing block, or polishing machine. Immediately remove the loosened dirt with a cloth, and repeat if necessary. After cleaning, the floor can be prepared with a maintenance product such as Lecol Wax & Clean OH32 for a new wax layer. Ensure proper ventilation during use to remove fumes and maintain a safe working environment.
