Aquaguard HELP ME

9 years ago

I recently had the aquaguard flooring installed throughout my home. I love it! But I'm panicking because I'm afraid I've ruined my floor. I stupidly used rejuvenate all floor restorer on it. Right now it's beautiful but I'm scared it may not stay that way after reading the online reviews. Will this stuff wear off by itself or do I have to take it off with something? if so what?

Yes, it's ruined. Anything that takes that off would damage the plastic in the laminate.

Sophie is probably right. It is *possible to reverse the process. Every chemical has a "reverse" (like a zipper). The question becomes will the chemical do more damage than the Rejuvenate itself? Possibly.

Why did you feel the need to apply a GLOSSY polish to your new floors? Was it because the floors looked "dull" (as in a Matte finish that you thought should be shiny)? Or did you feel that you wanted to "add protection" to the floor?

At this point, the warranty is void...but that's not something to worry about now. You are welcome to reach out to the makers of this horrendous product (I'm waiting for a class-action against these companies....but no one seems to feel the need. There are MILLIONS of people who have done this to themselves) and ask what is the "remover" or the the "stripper" for this product.

If a company makes a polish (yes...this is a polymer polish) they ALSO make "strippers". Go ahead and purchase the "reversing agent" and test it on a SMALL patch of flooring (like behind a bedroom door...some place that is rarely seen by anyone).

Apply it in this small spot - as instructed. Then wait a few days. See if you find any problems with the Aquaguard. If nothing "bad" happens, you might as well expand your experiment to include the rest of that bedroom - for instance. Wait a little while. Again, if nothing bad has happened, then continue with the rest of your floor.

Once you are done, feel free to send the company a NASTY letter. If no one is willing to sue them, you might as well voice your displeasure some other way.

Good luck. Letting it wear off is an option...which looks REALLY BAD (imagine a flaky look like a sunburn after about 3 months)...but it is an option. Again, you warranty is void so you might as well give something a try.

rejuvenate doesn't seem to have a reverse agent but bona has a polish remover, should I go with something like that? they recommend using Windex to take it off. not sure what to do at this point. I know I won't touch this crap again

I am installing Aquaguard and have one piece in the middle of a big floor that has no finish whatsoever on it. The contractor didn’t notice but i sure do. He won’t take up the whole floor to replace it, but want to put some satin urethane on it. I am just sick about it. Is wood polish a better option?
