How to Use Our Quick Shine® Deep Cleaner
Deep Cleaner to the rescue! Many of you have asked if there are any tips or tricks to the Deep Cleaner process so you can reapply the Quick Shine® Floor Finish to get your floors back to that WOW factor.
Today, we are happy to share with you the recommended steps below to give you confidence in conquering your floors like superman!
The Quick Shine® Deep Cleaner was specifically developed to not only deep clean but also to safely remove our finish from your floors. Quick Shine® Deep Cleaner/Wax Remover will also remove other waxes and finishes without harming hardwood floors or their polyurethane seal or any other type of hard floor surface. Below are 6 quick tips on how to use our Deep Cleaner:
- In a bucket, dilute the Deep Cleaner in HOT water as HOT water is more effective.
- Using a sponge mop or our Hardwood Floor Mop, apply it to the floor surface. Do small sections (5’x5’) of the floor at a time in order to maintain a more manageable removal and clean-up.
- Allow the Deep Cleaner solution to remain on the floor for a few minutes. CAUTION: Do not allow the solution to dry and re-adhere to the surface. If the solution appears to be drying, add a little warm water to keep the surface wet.
- The Quick Shine Floor Finish that you are removing should start to turn to a milky white film indicating the finish is being removed.
- After a few minutes, agitate with our microfiber scrubber pad. Aggressive agitation and elbow grease are typically required to remove ground-in dirt and multiple layers of the finish.
- Once you have removed the floor finish, rinse the area with clear, warm water and allow it to dry. Then you can proceed to the next 5’x5’ area and repeat steps 1-6.
NOTE: For heavy build-up, you may need to use a second treatment, and/or you can also increase the dilution from 1 cup per gallon to 2-3 cups per gallon. Deep Cleaner is concentrated, therefore it makes 3.5 gallons (at 1 cup per gallon), which should be enough for 500 square feet.
After completing this process, once your floors have completely dried you can now reapply a coat of our Quick Shine® Floor Finish or Quick Shine® Hardwood Floor Luster to bring your floors back to life giving them the shine they deserve!
We hope these simple steps have helped you with using the Deep Cleaner correctly and efficiently. Now you can proudly wear that S on your chest and have triumphed for your floors!

Help ! We accidentally spilled some bourbon on our beautiful coffee table and almost immediately cleaned it up but it took the finish off in quite a large area. Not thinking straight I put a layer of Quick Shine (which I love for my floors )….on the ENTIRE surface of the coffee table { including the un ruined areas} and now the coffee table looks waxy and white in areas. Any way to get the quick shine off without harming the good original surface? I dont want to harm the good parts. I ordered some of your product { Quick deep shine cleaner} that takes off the quick shine but I dont want to take off the good finish. I guess my question is……Will it strip the entire table?

GoogleWhew! I’ve been reading all of your comments. What a relief! I was prepared to strip your finish completely
And never use again. However I love the shine. My question is:
Will Quick Shine, when rinsed in the sink, damage the drain pipes. I have been so concerned about that. Thank you

Question..Which product has the duller finish? Used Holloway Multi Use Wax (green bottle). Sun shining on the floor is blinding. Is Holloway Wax (brown bottle) a duller finish?
Hi Monica,
Our Quick Shine High Traffic Hardwood Floor Luster does provide a softer shine as it contains pure plant based carnauba wax. Your floors will still have a deep, rich protective glow. The more coats you add, the higher shine you will see so we only recommend 2 coats and allowing a few months for an additional coat with routine maintenance. You can maintain the shine with our Quick Shine Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner. If you have additional questions, please contact customer service at 800-255-1891. We are always happy to help!
Used the Deep Cleaner for our kitchen floor and it removed the buildup as advertised. Took some elbow exercise in some corners but worked very well and we are pleased. Took a couple coats of the Floor Finish to get the shine back but we did and we are so pleased. Only problem was in my haste to do things correctly I spilled way too much product (both cleaner and finish) in my sink (stainless steel) and it has left a “haze-looking” appearance that I am having difficulty clearing up. Saw earlier review that recommended Windex or Formula 409—–tried the former and worked only minimally. Wife will experiment with some other cleaners but this kind of puts a damper on the enthusiasm we have for the look of the floors. Have learned one thing for sure: you have to be so careful with this product and others like it. Lesson learned though! Make no mistake about it—Quick Shine products are VERY GOOD!
Thank you for the feedback Keith. We are sorry to hear it has been tough removing the spilled finish from your sink. Our Deep Cleaner will work well to remove the haze from your sink if you still have some left. You can also soak a sink full of HOT water and ammonia, then wipe clean. Please let us know if this works for you. Thank you for being a great customer.
Your floor cleaner and Finish were recommended by a friend. However, first I must remove a competitors finish (Orange Glo). Ammonia and water is going very slowly and I was hoping your Deep clean could help out. Will it work? – thanks
Hi Lorraine,
Yes, our Quick Shine Deep Cleaner will safely remove Orange Glo and provide a clean surface for applying our Quick Shine Finish. If you have any questions regarding application, please contact customer service at 800-255-1891. We are always happy to help!
We had a cleaner apply Quick Shine Floor Finish to our hardwoods instead of cleaner…now our satin finish is shiney and the Floor Finish was applied unevenly giving the floors a terrible look. I understand the Deep Cleaner will remove the Floor Finish, but will it also remove the original satin finish as well? I am curious if we essentially have to refinish our entire floors now to get back to just the satin. Thanks
Hi Ryan,
Our Quick Shine Deep Cleaner will only remove our Finish and will not harm your factory finish or polyurethane finished floors. You will not have to sand and refinish if you use our Deep Cleaner. If you have additional questions, please contact customer service at 800-255-1891. We are always happy to help!

Bona wood floor cleaner has left a cloudy film on my hand scraped wood floors. If I use your Quick Shine Deep Cleaner product, if I understand correctly, it will remove the film. I do not want to put any additional coatings on the floor afterwards. Will my floors be restored to their condition prior to using Bona if I just use your Quick Shine Deep Cleaner product only? Thanking you in advance.
