The sealer directions state to use a sponge mop to apply--can you use any other type of mop? We are sealing a large area, and it is going to take a lot longer if we use a small sponge mop.
To apply our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer to a large area, we recommend using a paint roller with a long handle.
Was this helpful?Do we need to use the cleaner and degreaser if the floor is brand new?
You don't have to use our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer or Rubber Floor Cleaner and Degreaser if the floor is new. We recommend sealing the floor so it looks brand new longer. But all of our accessories are optional and you can choose to use them at your discretion.
Was this helpful?Is there a matte or satin finish versus the high gloss for the rubber floor finish?
Our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer will provide either a satin finish to your floor or a matte finish. When used on high colored rubber flooring, the flooring will have a satin, wet-glossy look to it. This appearance could also be described as a semi-gloss look. On black flooring, the sealer will give it a matte, or flat appearance to the floor.
Was this helpful?In some of the reviews for Rubber Floor Sealant, I see that multiple coats are recommended. Can you tell me if a single coat or 2, or 4 are the recommended number of sealant coats? Thank you!
With our rubber floor finish and sealer there is no real recommended amount that needs to be used. Each application will need different amounts. We do recommend you not exceed 4 coats of sealer on your floor. This can cause a hazy appearance to the floor.

Our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer covers 2000 sqft. per gallon. You will want to use just a simple soap and water solution after you have applied our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer. This solution should be applied with a synthetic mop head. Our Rubber Floor Cleaner and Degreaser when applied will strip the Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer from your floor.
Was this helpful?Is there a sealer recommended for black rubber floors?
Our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer can be used on black rubber floors. The reason it is not recommended is due to the fact that it will dull the look of the floor. But if that is not and issue, you can use it as directed.
Was this helpful?I have high-end studded black rubber tiles in my kitchenette area. It's a tile currently used in about 80% of the elevators in New York City. I probably have this issue because I am using this tile for home decor instead of industrial purposes. I always walk around in my socks at home, and each time I step off my kitchen tiles onto my painted white wooden floor, I track trace amounts of black color from the rubber tile onto the white floor. Will this product seal the black onto my tiles so I can stop tracking the color all over my home? Thank you.
Our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer will help to prevent the black rubber from staining your socks and your wood flooring. Since the flooring is lightly trafficked, you will most likely have to replace the sealer 1-2 times a year.

Was this helpful?How frequently should the floor be sealed after using this product? Is there a time effectiveness associated with the product?
