Product Information
Full details
Dr. Schutz Wood & Cork Floor Polish is a professional-grade treatment designed for homeowners and facility managers looking to restore and protect sealed wood, parquet, and cork floors. This product creates a durable, matte-finish protective film that shields surfaces from everyday foot traffic, scratches, and wear while restoring the luster of dull floors. While it offers excellent long-term protection, users must ensure the floor is completely clean and dry before application, as the product requires a full 12-hour curing period to achieve its maximum durability.

FAQs
Can I use this on laminate flooring?
This product is specifically formulated for sealed wood and cork. It is not recommended for standard laminate flooring.
Is 12 hours the absolute minimum drying time?
Yes. To ensure the protective film is durable and resists scuffs, it must be allowed to cure undisturbed for at least 12 hours.
Can I buff the floor after application?
The product is designed to dry to a high-quality matte finish without the need for mechanical buffing.
How often should I apply the polish?
For full protection, apply as needed when the floor looks dull or worn. For routine maintenance, use the 1:100 dilution during weekly cleanings.
Does this product make the floor slippery?
When applied correctly in a thin, even layer, it does not create a slippery surface, but rather a protected, matte finish.
Can I use this on floors treated with oil?
No, this polish is designed for sealed (varnished/lacquered) floors and will not perform correctly on oiled or waxed surfaces.
Troubleshooting
The polish is streaking after drying
The layer was likely applied too thickly or the floor was not fully clean; ensure a thin, even coat is applied to a pre-cleaned, dry surface.
The surface looks cloudy
This often occurs if there is residue from a previous cleaning agent; ensure the floor is stripped of old chemicals and fully rinsed before applying a new coat.
The finish is not adhering correctly
Check that the floor surface is truly sealed. If the wood or cork is unsealed, the polish may absorb unevenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve professional results, ensure your floor has been thoroughly deep-cleaned and is completely dry before beginning application. Shake the bottle well to ensure all active ingredients are properly suspended. Use a lint-free wiper or applicator to spread the liquid evenly; avoid creating pools or thick sections, as this will lead to an uneven finish.
This product is strictly for sealed wood and cork surfaces. If you are uncertain about your floor's sealant type, perform a small spot test in an inconspicuous area like a closet or corner. During the 12-hour drying window, it is critical that the area remains free of foot traffic, moisture, and debris to ensure the protective film cures evenly.
