Question 1

Is this suitable for re-oiling wooden floors?

Accepted Answer

Hi, we have engineered oak floors, which are manufactured  with an oil finish.  I have used the Ewbank both to scrub the surface with detergent, and then to re oil the floor.  I use a simple squirty spray bottle in one hand, to apply Danish Oil, then buff it with the Ewbank, which is light and manoeuvrable enough to control with the other hand. It saves hours of "elbow grease ", and gives an excellent finish. Then you need to wipe over the machine and wash the pads fairly soon afterwards as the oil will dry on them quite quickly.  Hope this helps.

Question 2

I have laminate flooring and find i leave i fiim on after washing and rinsing will this polish up the film

Accepted Answer

It should do. I used to wash my cheap laminate flooring which was in the house when I bought it. I do not wash it any more. I use the recommended polish for machine just a very little. Then buff up when polish drying. Floors look much much better. Look clean and shiny to me.

Question 3

Hi, i have pocelain floor tiles with a light grey grout. I also have a labrador. The grout is now brown.  Will this machine scrub the grout lines?

Accepted Answer

Hi Badger, Nope sorry tried the exact same thing myself, but it just went over the grout lines, and did not scrub them, not even a little bit, sorry but I was forced to do that bit on hands and knees with a scrubbing brush, I did use a sonic brush which helped slightly and my room wasn't that big, but still took an age. Your tiles will come up nice, but not the grout lines, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Question 4

what  accesories are included?

Accepted Answer

I received 2 brushes, 2 white scrubbing pads, 2 blue buffing pads and a small spray bottle of polish. The bottle is small but it does go a long way, as you really don't need much, I have polished 5 large floors with it giving 2 applications to 3 of the floors and still have about 2 3rds of the polish left. Hope that helps. My floors are all laminate and it brings them up a treat, I also use the blue buffing pads dry every few days to bring back a shine, and am happy with the results, I was seriously thinking of getting rid of my laminate as although they say it is easy to keep, I had never mastered the art and it was always streaky after cleaning unless I went down on hands and knees, which wasn't feasible with a whole house. But this polisher makes my floors look good with a lot less effort. So I can honestly say for me it was well worth the money.
