How to un-polish a wooden floor, help please!

Question

Well someone was polishing in our sitting room, and we have wooden floors. The polish has gone on the floor and made it extremely slippy and it hasn't gone for a week! It's really dangerous especially when we are rushing about trying to sort the baby. Any idea how to make it less slippy?? We only have one pair of slippers! Thank you. :)

Answer 1

try damp mopping the floor with amonia and water. Amonia is used in floor wax strippers. The amonia wont hurt the wood

Answer 2

there's these socks called grip socks and they have these little well grips on the bottom and they work pretty good....

Answer 3

When I have a slippery floor i deal with it and have fun :)

take my advice...go get some socks and slide til you can't anymore!

Answer 4

How ya doin Soph?

There are special treatments that can be applied to the surface of a floor to make it slip resistant. I'll see if I can find the link.

I think this may be the right one http://www.floorsafe.com.au/index.html

Answer 5

I agree with Perfect Poms....also, they sell these socks with grippers on the bottom of the feet so you can't slip on wood floors. They really make them for children while learning to walk...but they also make them in adult sizes as well. I think in this case, you will need them.

Answer 6

Put a rug on it!

EASY AS PIE!

Ohh, that sounds good right now...

ADD: Oh yA! When we first got our hard wood floors ( the ones that bella absolutly LOVES! ) My Fam had to get those!

But, it was kinda boring since when we wore'em we didn't get to slide on the Hard Wood Floors! Which is REALLY FUN!

Do you have a Cloth Tarp of some sort to cover it just until the floor gets un slippery.

Answer 7

Oh dear...be careful with the newbie baby :-)

I agree the slipper socks are best if you can't go and grab a few rugs.

They sell them with the non skid stuff on bottom or you can make your own with that puffy paint stuff from the craft store. See something fun for you to do at 3am :P

Or just plain old rubber bottomed slippers.
