Strip-n-wax rinse

[Lyman]

After striping the vct, I read about somebody using a water rinse with vinigar. How much vinigar in the mop bucket.

 

[Jeremy]

8-12 oz per gallon of vinegar & the recommended amount of Neutral Cleaner is what I rinse with. Final mop prior to laying finish is just vinegar & water.

Vinegar is disgusting to me.

just buy some neutralizer tablets or a gallon of Rinse Away. You are saving $2

 

[steve frasier]

why use vinegar, why not just neutral cleaner, the stuff isn't that expensive

I wouldn't use neutralizing tablets either, from what I have used before they leave a sticky residue

Stripped more floors than I care to recall.

Never had any problems with an neutral floor cleaner such as Diversey's Stride

uhhhh...depending on what kind of stripper you are using...AND the equipment...

well no only once i did it.....cuz the place paid for it so i thought id try them...

I HAVE NEVER EVER EVER EVER, USED ANYTHING BUT WATER TO RINSE....


like i said equipment....no autoscrubber...they after you get most of it sucked up....flood the floor and rescrub...

is you have autoscrubbers.....go over it twice and mop the edges with a seperate mop, then mop the center with a different one...

I just like to have the pH correction of the vinegar and its a fairly green acidic liquid & at $1 a gallon it cheap. The surfactant in the neutral cleaner just helps rinse away residual stripper...

But yeah if you dont feel like stopping at the grocery store you probably do not "need" the vinegar. However, I think an acidic rinse helps prevent fish eyes and yellowing.
