Zep Heavy-Duty Floor Stripper Ammonia Free Concentrate - 1 Gallon (Case of 2) ECZULFFS1282 - Low-Foaming Formula Removes Finish, Polish, and Heavy Buildup on Flooring

The pictures say it all: this stuff WORKS! There is a reason a "never wax" floor is called that-you should NEVER put acrylic floor shiner on one. It looks fine for awhile, but the wax darkens and builds up. This floor is twenty years old and was regularly waxed (we're not going there). I didn't realize how dark and dingy it looked til we found a replacement tile in the attic. The Zep was diluted half strength with hot water, applied with an old dishrag and scrubbed with a steel wool scrubber after the recommended time on the label before being rinsed with clean water. Make sure you wear rubber gloves. It did take some "elbow grease", but the floor looks almost like new! Great product.

So. I found out the hard way that you can let this product dry.I am stripping a hefty build-up of a misused polish on my floor. I tried a lot of different things recommended online. Nothing worked. I bought the Zep and followed the instructions, but that didn’t work efficiently. It took me about 8 hours to strip a 6x6 area. I would spread it, return it in 10 minutes, scrub it, and reapply it. I did that for easily 8 hours. However, applying the product directly on the floor worked best, especially for tough jobs. Diluting it did nothing at all. I started dumping it and spreading it with a very wet mop. That finally did the job. Plus, I had a soft scrubby that I pushed with a mop, so I didn’t have to get on my hands and knees as much.The second section had spots where I already had some chemicals touch, and it came immediately up with just plain water. It sat on my floor for a couple of days.So I started leaving it on for an hour, letting it dry, saving me many hours of scrubbing.My floors look brand new again. I’m so excited!

did a great job on removing built-up wax and dirt. Many years of old wax.

I had bought a house with tons of wax buildup on the floor. The floors always looked dirty, I was thinking I'll have to replace all the flooring. I tried several other product and natural cleaners like vinegar, dish soap, baking soda etc. This stuff with a little scrubbing removed the wax buildup and cleaned the floors. Saved me a bunch of money not having to buy new floors. This stuff works.

I mixed this product just like it said. I applied generously with mop. Let it sit maybe a little too long. It says 8 to 10 min. I probably let it sit 30. Anyway, just don't let it dry because then you have a problem on your hands. It doesn't just mop up the old layers of wax though. I had to get a scratch pad sponge and get in my hands and knees and scrub. Just do it while it's still wet and all the old wax comes up. Al the scratches and marks I had in my laminate flooring all came out. Like a have a new floor. But not as easy as mop on mop off. If I had a buffer with pad on bottom like in rhe military that would've been great.

After trying everything under the sun to clean my floors, this stuff worked like magic (required some scrubbing).

Floor looks great. Easy to use. Used it mostly with orbital scrubber after testing an area by hand with a green scrub pad. Smell can be a little strong but not too bad. Just open windows a few hours. Worked so well I bought the sealer (part 2 of 4 part system) and wet look polish (part 3). Bought the cleaner (part 4) before realizing it was a four part system. But won’t need it for a while. Part 2 and 3 will be used in next two days. Recommend buying the four parts as one order that’s available.

IT'S A DECENT PRODUCT
