You Ask, We Answer: Quick Shine® Q & A
Quick Shine® Floor Care products are fantastic tools to revive and keep your floors looking new again! Just like any other household product, customers might have some questions about it. So today we are covering some common questions asked by our consumers.
Q: Where can I find your Quick Shine® Floor Finish or Quick Shine® Hardwood Floor Luster product?
A: Our Floor Finish and Hardwood Luster are in most major retailers and some of your local ones as well. Check out our Store Locator to see all the retailers where you can purchase our product.
Q: When I was applying the Floor Finish to my floors, I sat the bottle on my table and it has dripped onto the surface. How can I get this off without damaging my table?
A: Anytime you accidentally get any drops of our Floor Finish or Hardwood Floor Luster on your table or counter, even after it’s dried, you can use Windex or Formula 409 to remove it. Spray it on the area, let it sit for a minute or so then wipe it up with a damp cloth or sponge. This method also works for customers who might have any over-splash on the bottom of their walls or appliances when applying the Floor Finish or Hardwood Luster on their floors.
Q: What can I use to clean my floors with after I’ve applied the Quick Shine® Floor Finish?
A: Routine cleaning using our Quick Shine® Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner via our Multi-Surface Spray Mop and microfiber pad is the best process. However, after applying the Floor Finish we recommend waiting 4-5 days before using the cleaner on your floors to give it time to fully cure. You can always dust mop during the first few days to keep your floors free of dirt and debris.
Q: I used the Floor Cleaner on my floors, but they are not shiny. The bottle says Quick Shine® so can you help me understand what went wrong?
A: This is a common misconception. Quick Shine® is the brand name of our Floor Care products line; however depending on what your floor care needs are will depend on which Quick Shine® product you’d want to use. If you are looking for a floor cleaner, you can use our Quick Shine® Floor Cleaner or Quick Shine® Hardwood Floor Cleaner as a regular cleaning agent. If you are looking to give your floors a shine or to revive your hardwoods, you can use our Quick Shine® Floor Finish or Quick Shine® Hardwood Floor Luster to give your floors that WOW factor.
Q: I applied the Quick Shine® Floor Finish to my floor and now, it looks streaky and cloudy. What did I do wrong?
A: Streaking is usually caused by a few issues: 1.) Not enough product was initially applied and you can correct that with an additional coat; 2.) There was residue on the floor before the Floor Finish was applied. For example, other brand floor cleaning agents, or a vinegar solution; 3.) The same applicator pad used to clean your floors is being used to apply the Floor Finish; 4.) Not allowing sufficient time before applying subsequent coats; 5.) Trying to apply too many coats in a short period of time, not allowing each coat to dry completely.

I moved a very light chair with soft plastic feet on our LVP floor and now the Quick Shine Floor Finish is scuffed. So, now what?
Hi Howard,
We recommend trying to buff the scuff with a soft cloth or tennis ball to create friction and warm up the Finish to shine again. If that does not work, you can spot-treat the area with ammonia and hot water. Mix 2-3 tbsp. of Ammonia per 1/2 cup of HOT water and apply to the area. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes and wipe it away. Once that area is clean and dry, simply reapply the Finish to blend.
I recently used this product in my LVP and noticed scratches everywhere from my two dogs. Did I not put it on right? How to I safely remove so we don’t have to see the dog prints?
Hi Jason,
We recommend applying a few coats of Finish initially for added durability. For high traffic homes, you may need to reapply a new coat every 2-4 months when you start to see surface scratches. You can safely remove our Finish with Quick Shine Deep cleaner.
I used a microfiber mop head to apply QuickShine Floor Finish. It looks great on my floor, but unfortunately I let the residue dry on the mop head. Is there any way to get the dried product out of the microfiber cloth, or do I just need to dispose of the mop head?
Hi Simon,
We recommend soaking your microfiber pad in 1 cup of Ammonia and 1/2 gallon of HOT water for 30-45 minutes to release the polymer from the pad and soften the fibers again.
Windex or 409 does not work. What else do you recommend?
You can mix 2-3 tbsp. of Ammonia to 1/2 cup of HOT water or use Quick Shine Deep Cleaner.
When I squeeze the handle it is locked. What can I do to use the product?
Hi Pirom,
You should try disconnecting the two pole pieces of the mop and then reconnecting. It is also important that you do not use our Finish in the spray mop as it can clog the spray mechanism.
I was using the hardwood luster and some got on my walls. How do you remove it without staining your walls?
Hi Gracelyn,
We recommend Windex (Original Formula) or Formula 409 spray. Simply spray affected areas of the wall and let sit 1 minute before gently wiping away. This method has worked well for other consumers with similar issues.
