	Problem: Streaks in Floor Finish

	Cause: Finish applied too thinly Solution: Coat floors with more floor finish on a wax applicator mop. Slow down the stroke as finish is laid on the floor. Use a “painting” stroke rather than a “spreading” stroke to work the finish into the floor. Follow our applying floor finish procedure. Cause: Recoated before previous coat was completely dry Solution: Burnish to remove streaks. If the streaks do not burnish out, restrip and recoat. Make sure each coat of finish is dry before applying an additional coat or burnishing. Finish smaller areas at one time. Edging long aisles then coating the middle may cause the edge towards the end of the aisle to streak or haze because the finish has started to set along the edge. Cause: Dirty mop or equipment Solution: Always use clean mops, and mop buckets and wringers when applying finish. Cause: Frozen floor finish Solution: Replace finish, strip area, rinse well with neutral cleaner and water, and reapply finish.
