Waxing floors
There are two types of wax to use on hard surface floors: water-base and solvent base.
Water-base wax
Water-base wax is a self-pol- ishing wax which does not con- tain a petroleum solvent. It can be used on all hard surface floors except wood and cork.
Follow the directions on the container to apply. Do not polish or buff this wax.
Solvent-base wax
Solvent-base wax can be identified by the caution statement: “Flam- mable” or “Combustible” on the label. It is used on wood or cork floors and can be polished and buffed when dry. Do not use solvent-base wax on asphalt or rubber tile or other hard surface floors unless specified by the manufacturer.
