Question -
Morning,
I was looking over your website & I have a few questions about the Bridgepoint Wood Floor Systems.
I have an older hardwood floor in a nursing home. They have preferred it to be top coated with a paste wax for the urethane.
It has become increasingly harder to find the paste wax. I particularly do not like it as it doesn't take too much traffic to really dig into the paste wax.
My question being...would it be possible to clean the floor, use a maroon pad to clean and rough up what is left of that paste wax and then apply a Bridgepoint finish? My fear would be trying to get all that old paste wax off with mineral spirits.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
We appreciate your interest in our product line, but in this case must let you know that our Bridgepoint Wood Floor Systems will not be of any help to you.
Paste wax, once applied to a wood floor, makes our system unusable. No matter how much scrubbing and stripping that you do, the residues of that paste wax will keep the finish from adhering, and it will peel off like skin after a sunburn.
Your only option is to have the floor sanded and a fresh coat of polyurethane finish applied by a wood floor restoration specialist.
Again, thank you for your interest in our products. We hope you'll try some of our carpet cleaners, spotters, and deodorizers some time when the need arises.
