Please don't use Orange Glo or any product w/ Glo in the name

I have used Orange Glo & it's like adding a coat of wax to your floors. If you ever want to stop using it/remove it, it will be a lot of work. I understand that people like their wood floors to shine but when you're putting a coat of wax on your floor, scratches show up more apparently. If dirt or anything is still on the floor when you use it, it gets stuck in the Orange Glo added to the floor. High heel marks, toe nail scratches from pets, & moving furniture show up & don't remove easily. To remove the Orange Glo, you have to use a mix of Ammonia w/ water & buff it off by hand w/ a sponge or possibly a mop depending on how many coats of Orange Glo have been applied. I have seen wood floors where the people have stopped using the Orange Glo & it starts to look like it's peeling slowly away like nail polish. I personally like to use Murphy's Oil Soap or a vinegar & water mix on wood floors. I have one client who supplies Bona & I like it fine. I just love the smell of the Murphy's Oil Soap. So, I prefer it. On another note: If you have pets that pee on your wood/laminate floors, I always recommend to get up the pee from a pet ASAP because pet pee will mess up the finish of wood/laminate floors.
