Wax Removal Benefits
Acrylic wax does not provide the same level of protection as hardwood finishes like polyurethane. Acrylic wax will require frequent reapplication to hide the smudge, scratches and scuff marks. This can cause problems because the wax can become embedded in the grains of wood.
Multiple layers of wax can build up leading to a thick, uneven coating altering the natural appearance of the wood, causing yellowing. There will be dirt and other particles trap between each layer of wax. The only way to have clean floors is to remove the wax.
The wax can create a slippery surface, especially when wet. This poses a safety hazard in areas prone to spills or moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Proscout Hardwood Floor Restoration have the right solutions, equipment, and experience to get the job done.
Removing old layers of acrylic wax can be challenging and labor-intensive. It requires specific products and specialized equipment. Our professional has the experience needed to remove the wax and restore your floors.
