What is Glitsa?
|
Glitsa is, in our opinion, the best product
on the market for finishing hardwood floors. We have been using
the Glitsa finish for over 20 years and are impressed with its durability
and other features. Our customers seem to agree, since they frequently
refer us to their friends and relatives.

Do I need to do anything special right after
my floor is finished or refinished?
|
Use floors with care for the first
two weeks after application. You can walk on the floor the next day,
but we recommend that no furniture be put into the room for two to
three days. No carpets or water should be used on the floors during
this first two week period. Allow additional air flow across the surfaces
such as open windows or fans to help the floor finish cure faster.

How do I clean my floor?
|
Vacuum or use an untreated dust mop
on your floor regularly. This will keep the sand and grit off of your
floor that may cause premature wear. Throw rugs that are cleaned on
a regular basis are recommended in front of your kitchen sink and
at each outside door. Wipe up food and other spills immediately using
a dampened (not soaking wet) cloth or paper towel. Regular cleaning
should be done with Glitsa Clean which is specially formulated to
clean your Glitsa finished floor. Follow directions on the bottle
for correct application.

What about furniture and shoes on the floor?
|
Chair legs and other pieces of furniture
should all have Safeglides attached to them. Safeglides will allow
chairs to glide over the floor without scuffing the surface. Keep
high heeled shoes in good repair. Heels that have lost their protective
cap can cause little indentations in any floor surface.
|
|
Should I wax my floor?
|
NO! Glitsa finished floors should
never be waxed. If wax is applied, it will not be possible to recoat
your floor.
