2. What is Pro Shot® Floor Restorer?

3. Can Pro Shot® Floor Restorer be used on any floor?
Pro Shot® Floor Restorer works great on “sealed hardwood, vinyl, linoleum, no-wax, laminates, bamboo, flagstone, terrazzo, concrete, slate, and most ceramic tile floors.” However, you should know that floors vary greatly. There are certain types of floors, like marble and other porous type floors that could absorb Pro Shot® Floor Restorer. If Pro Shot® is absorbed into the floor, it will help seal the floor; however, the floor will usually turn a little darker. If you want the floor to shine more brilliantly, you can apply a second coat.

5. How do I apply Pro Shot® Floor Restorer?
You apply Pro Shot® Floor Restorer to a clean and dry floor using a sponge mop or lambswool applicator. If you have used oil or soap products in the past, you should remove those products before applying Pro Shot® Floor Restorer. Pour a moderate amount of Pro Shot onto the floor and simply glide the sponge mop back and forth one time. Do not put any pressure on the mop and do not work the product into the floor. Pro Shot® Floor Restorer was designed to adhere to the surface of the floor.
6. Can I apply Pro Shot® Floor Restorer with an ordinary string mop?

No. You should first remove the previous wax, clean and dry the floor, and then apply Pro Shot® Floor Restorer. Pro Shot® needs a dry surface to stick to. Applying Pro Shot® on top of wax would be like putting lipstick on top of Vaseline.
9. How often should I reapply Pro Shot® Floor Restorer?

12. Why is Pro Shot® Floor Restorer peeling from my floor?
There are two reasons why this could happen. First, there was a product that you previously used still on the floor. Maybe, oil or soap was previously used.

Second, you may have applied Pro Shot Floor Restorer too thin and there isn’t enough product to stick to the floor. Try a second coat.
