READ ALL DIRECTIONS BEFORE APPLYING.
(Failure to follow instructions will nullify this product’s warranty)

1. Prepare Floor: This finish is not designed for application to bare wood floors. Use only on previously sealed surfaces. Use only after proper training. Scrub and Recoat: Dust mop floor and remove all chewing gum and labels. Prepare floor with Sport Prep™ (425SF) or Citrus Scrub ‘N Shine (525FR) following the product label directions.

NOTE: Test previously coated floor in an inconspicuous area before recoating to determine compatibility with existing finish. Apply no more than 2 coats in 24 hours and a maximum of 3 coats in 48 hours. See finish application instructions below.

2. Apply Finish: Rock or shake the container gently for 30 seconds before using. Apply at a rate of 700-1000 square feet per gallon (17-25 m² per liter). Use a weighted T-bar with a clean, synthetic pad. Apply thin, even coats with the grain of the wood while walking at a slow, even pace. Walking too fast may produce excessive bubbling in the finish. Allow a dry time of at least 1 hour between coats. Humid conditions require longer dry time. After the first coat has dried, apply a second coat. It may be necessary to screen the first coat if grain raising has occurred or it has dried longer than 24 hours. If so, screen the floor with a maroon pad. Always vacuum and tack thoroughly after screening.

NOTE: Check expiration date. Contact Essential for batch re-certification if expiration date is exceeded. Do not pour unused finish back into original container.

3. Maintain Daily: Dust mop at least daily, or more as required, to keep floor dust and dirt free. Damp mop spills, salt residue, etc. with Sport Clean (1143SF) or Blue Concentrate (2085FC) and a thoroughly wrung mop.
4. Maintain Weekly: If soil conditions are heavy, auto scrub weekly with red pads and a 2 ounce per gallon (16 ml per liter) dilution of Sport Clean (1143SF) or Blue Concentrate (2085FC). Refer to the Wood Floor Care Wall Chart or Manual for further details.

CAUTION: Do not use cleaning compounds other than Essential’s Sport Clean (1143SF) or Blue Concentrate (2085FC) as they will reduce product performance and longevity.

5. Restoration: Dust mop floor. Follow restoration directions for Sport Prep™ (425SF), Citrus Scrub ‘N Shine (525FR) or Gelcon™ (207FR). Refer to the Wood Floor Care Wall Chart or Manual for further details.
