Minwax Hardwood Floor Reviver, High Gloss, 32 oz.

I had a 100 year old historic neighborhood home I was listing for sale, and it had original oak hardwood floors that had not been refinished in over 20 years. They were in good physical shape, but VERY dry and dull. I did not want to incur the high cost of professional floor refinishing, so decided to give this stuff a try. IT WORKED MIRACLES! It was easy to apply (I used a Walmart sponge mop with a new sponge head) and the floors were transformed into a thing of beauty! My realtor was amazed at the difference (I wish I had taken before and after photos to show) and everyone who looked at the house commented on the beautiful warm oak floors. I am very happy to report that my house sold in ONE DAY, and I really believe this product was a major factor in the quick sale. I am sure this product will not be a LONG term solution, but for a short term 'fix' it is fantastic. After applying, the floors had a wonderful low gloss sheen that looked like hand waxed surface. My floors had lots of small scratches, and while it didn't totally hide them, they were much less noticable. I specifically wanted the LOW GLOSS formula, and could only find the high gloss version at my local Lowes and Home Depot, so ordered 4 bottles from Amazon. It arrived quickly and safely. I ordered 4 bottles, because I wanted to be sure I had enough and thought since my floors were so old and dry that it would really 'soak' up the product. I only needed two bottles for a 1600 square foot home that had wood floors throughout except for the kitchen, bathrooms and utility room. It seemed to go a long way, but I was careful to apply a THIN coat like the instructions said. I will be returning the other two bottles to Amazon. Overall, I give this product 5 plus stars, and highly recommend it!!!

Not as good as advertised. No help with scratched wood.

Ill have to upload a photo sometime of the before and after of our 10 year old hardwood floors. This restorer is unreal to make your floors look next to new. Our family is hard on the floors and our son well, he drops everything which this won't help. But the day-2-day wear and tear dulls the floors and this stuff is...magic! I do recommend that you clean it with a power cleaner PRIOR to using this and the results will be awesome!

Great product

My hardwood floors had taken a beating after 12 years what with kids, pets, and just general traffic. Hardwood in the Kitchen wasn't my best idea but I wanted them so I gott'em. Spills, dried on food, pets and kids.....you know the drill. I thought I was going to have to pay to get them refinished. Instead I thought I'd give Minwax a try and boy, I'm glad I did. I used their cleaning product first to remove all the dirt and grime. Minwax cleaning product worked wonders!! Finally when I felt the floors were good and clean I got to the fun part...Mixwax Reviver! Simple to apply, dries quickly and WALLA --- (almost) NEW FLOORS! The floors look terrific! AND the best part? They've held up quite well. Its so nice to walk across a clean floor again, and did I mention the shine??? I purchased the low gloss because I didn't want the high shine and I'm glad I did. I can't imagine what high gloss would look like since the floors look like they have a high gloss. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a "new" looking hardwood floor. I'm sure at some point I'll have to bite the bullet and get the floors professionally done, but Mixwax saved me for awhile anyway. Its been three months and they're still looking good!
