• Floor finish liquid
• Clean string mop, 16-20 oz. size

This will protect floor finish from being contaminated

to be applied.

on walls.

P

1.
When using NEW mops to apply floor finish, make
sure to rinse mop first. Foreign chemicals will affect
the floor finish.
2. Completely submerging mop head into the floor
finish is a waste of product.
3. Turn mop over frequently for even distribution of
floor finish.
4. Do not allow mop to become dry; this will cause
streaking.
5. Apply floor finish in thin even coats.
6. Do NOT pour floor finish directly on the floor and
attempt to spread evenly. This will cause dark spots
and delay drying time.
