How Long Does Floor Wax Last

Generally, solid wax coats can last up to two to five years, and liquid wax coats between one to two years. If no re-waxing interval is given, wipe a cloth dampened with mineral spirits over a small section of your floor and inspect it.

How often should you wax your floor?

We typically recommend that floors are professionally stripped and re-waxed every five to six months. Keeping them up to snuff is important, but don’t do it too often, as your floors are just going to be exposed to more traffic, more dirt, and more damage in that short period of time.

How often wax hardwood floors?

Floor wax helps seal the porous wood surface, protects it from stains, hides scratches and dents and increases shine. Frequency: Every six to 18 months, depending on traffic and wear.
