Reviews

Ken Moersch is an extremely competent confident hardwood floor craftsman who knows how to achieve fine quality floor workmanship, I found him to be extremely trustworthy and enjoyed working with AHF-Allhardwoodfloor ltd of Coquitlam BC

Very good Ken, I did not realize how much physical labor it required to refinish my hardwood flooring, I guess you are to you busy to have stage fright as i watched you work all day long, I was really surprised that you worked till eight in the evening and actually completed the refinishing of my smaller floor job with three coats of street shoe water borne without hardly any dust

AHF-All hardwood floor dustless floor refinishing did a wonderful job of refinishing my old fir flooring we decided to refinish even though Ken told us this would be the last time to sand down the old Fir floors. We choose the Glitsa gold Seal because it is known for its durability Wow great job refinishing Fir wood floors

Thank You! for choosing Glitsa gold seal Swedish finish

Glitsa's wood floor care and maintenance instructions 

Our safety and health recommendations are intended to be general guidelines. Individuals with medical conditions or that are typically more sensitive to odors should consult their physicians and extend the time allowed prior to returning to the residence. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available upon request.

Although your wood floor may be one of the most beautiful aspects of your home, do not
expect it to be as flawless as a piece of furniture. Furniture is finished in a 'dust free' environment and is subjected to quite a bit less wear and tear than a floor.

The following information is intended to answer many of the typical questions that we have experienced over the years. If you would like any additional information on our products, or the location of your nearest distributor, please call Glitsa American, Inc. at 800-527-8111.

Pre-Application Preparation

Remove the following from any area that could be exposed to vapors: plants, animals, aquariums, and food in open containers that could possibly absorb vapors (e.g. bread, cereal, grains, etc.)

Cover or remove Carbon Monoxide detectors as they may be activated or damaged by the vapors.

Homeowners should not be in the area during application or drying

All individuals remaining in the area should wear a NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health)IMSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) approved respirator.

"Tip-Toe Time"

Following the final coat of Glitsa, we recommend waiting 24 hours before returning to the residence. At this point you may walk on the floor. Providing good ventilation will minimize the odor and help the floor finish to cure faster. The more gentle you are on the floor during the first few days, the more satisfaction you will get from your floor for years to come.

Allow 2-3 days before placing furniture on the floor. Do not drag or slide the furniture.

Allow 5-6 weeks before putting carpet or rugs on the floors.

Do not use water or any cleaning substances on the floor for the first 2-3 weeks.

Because it is impossible to create an absolutely dust free environment in your home, small specks of dust (peaks) may settle in the finish. Over time, many of these peaks will be walked out of the finish.

Preventive Maintenance may be the most important factor in determining the longevity of your wood floor finish.

Place walk-off mats in entryways and near sink areas to minimize the amount of dirt and water that comes in contact with your floor.

Attach Safeglides® to all furniture that will come in contact with your wood floors.

Safeglides® have multiple types of fasteners that will adhere to most furniture.

-Prevent unprotected high heel shoes from coming in contact with your wood floor. The amount of weight concentrated in such a small area actually compresses the wood and appears to be anindentation in the finish.

-Keep pet claws trimmed

Cleaning

-Use Glitsa Clean® regularly to rejuvenate the luster of your wood floor. Follow the directions on the container

-Wipe food and other spills immediately with a water dampened cloth or paper towel.

-Vacuum with soft bristle brushes only. Most carpet vacuums have hard bristle brushes.

-Sweep with a soft (nylon) bristle broom. Straw brooms may scratch the floor.

-Damp mop the floor to remove dirt and grit.

Things to Avoid

-Do not use oils, waxes, or cleaners that have these properties in them, on your Glitsa finish.

-Do not over-water plants. Soils, fertilizers, and plant foods may have chemicals in them that could damage your Glitsa finish.
Soft rubber (shoe soles, toy wheels, etc.) wil1 1eave marks on the floor. Most of these marks can be rubbed out, but should be avoided if possible.

Know Your Floor

-Know what products were used to finish and clean your wood floor.

-Keep track of the dates (month/year) that the floor was installed, finished, refinished, and/orrepaired.

-Remember/record the company name of your floor installer and finisher.

-When moving, leave the above information in the home.

Repair/Recoat

-Minor repairs may be made using Glitsa Gold Seal Aerosol®. Follow label instructions.

-As your floor begins to show wear and Glitsa Clean® no longer brings back the luster in your wood floor, recoating the floor may be necessary. Contact your floor contractor.
