Tips & Warnings
Use only clean polishing cloths on your floor. As soon as they get dirty, switch them out for new ones so that you are not spreading the Orange Glo around the floor.
Open windows while spraying the ammonia-based window cleaner on your floors to provide proper ventilation. Do not use a buffing machine to remove the Orange Glo from your floors. While the Orange Glo itself will not do any permanent damage to your wood floors, the buffing machine can.
