Can I use OLD ENGLISH® Aerosol to polish my hardwood floors?
No. This product cannot be used to polish hardwood floors because it will make the surface extremely slippery. For hardwood floors we recommend MOP & GLO® Wood Floor Cleaner.

How can I remove OLD ENGLISH® Aerosol that has been sprayed on an unsealed, unfinished, bare wood surface?
If the wood is unprotected, unfinished (such as raw pine); and the area sprayed is relatively small, the solution is: apply odorless mineral spirits & pressure blot with a clean cloth to draw out the OLD ENGLISH® from the wood.

What is the difference between the OLD ENGLISH® Aerosols and OLD ENGLISH® Oils?
OLD ENGLISH® Aerosols help to provide a high gloss shine on wood surfaces. They contain cleaning agents which aid in the removal of different types of soils and prevent wax build-up. Aerosols also provide protection to the furniture surface and are easier to use. OLD ENGLISH® Oils provide maximum water repellency for open grain oil finished surfaces (such as Scandinavian furniture), conserve oils in fine antique furniture and prevent cracking in older, lacquer finished surfaces. Additionally, oil is excellent for removing wax build-up on wood surfaces.

Can OLD ENGLISH® Furniture Wipes be flushed in the toilet?
NO! Discard with everyday, household trash.

Do the OLD ENGLISH® Furniture Wipes replace my regular furniture polish?
The Aerosol product will provide greater shine and protection for the wood than the wipe product. The major advantage of the wipe product is convenience and it works very well at removing dust.
