Wood Maintenance & Repair

Q. What are the advantages of using Minwax^® Hardwood Floor Cleaner and Minwax^® Wood Cleaner?

Minwax^® Hardwood Floor Cleaner and Minwax^® Wood Cleaner have been exclusively formulated for use on hardwood floors and wood surfaces. Unlike other surface cleaners, Minwax^® Hardwood Floor Cleaner and Minwax^® Wood Cleaner are designed to clean wood surfaces without leaving a residue, which other all-purpose cleaners may leave.

Q. Where can I use Minwax^® Hardwood Floor Cleaner and Minwax^® Wood Cleaner?

Use Hardwood Floor Cleaner on finished hardwood floors. Use Minwax^® Wood Cleaner on finished kitchen cabinets, furniture, moldings and any other wood surfaces which have not been waxed or oiled. Because most shellacs contain wax, Minwax^® cleaners should not be used on wood finished with shellac. Do not use either product on bare or unfinished wood.

Q. Does Minwax^® Hardwood Floor Cleaner need to be mixed with water?

No. It comes premixed and ready to use.

Q. What happens if Minwax^® Hardwood Floor Cleaner or Minwax^®Wood Cleaner is accidentally used in excess on oiled, waxed or raw wood surfaces?

Neither Minwax^® Hardwood Floor Cleaner nor Minwax^® Wood Cleaner will permanently damage wood. If the product is accidentally left on a wood surface finished with wax or oil (such as Danish, linseed, tung oil) or wax, the finish may turn white, as it would if water were left on it for a long period of time. If the application of more finish does not repair the whitened areas, then reapply the oil finish using fine steel wool.

WARNING! Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances requires the use of proper protective equipment such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper containment and cleanup. For more information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or contact your local health authority.
