Have any of you tried any of the "Green" floor strippers and finish? If so how was the results and what brand did you try? Also what was the cost? thanks, Dan

man that would be at the opposite end of the spectrum for us we use a stripper that RIPS the finish off the floor ( very potent )

Hey Brian. I know I have saw some in magazines that is suppose to be "Green" and safe to use. I just can't imagine that it works very good. I am hoping someone can enlighten me and make me feel that it works. Its hard to believe the salespeople or companies that are out to make money and will tell you anything to make a sale. A hands on person is the best source.

Dan you old @#$% from Tennessee, how are you? I have used Franmar products but not for stripping floors. Beanee Do and there Soy Bean stripper work well but they were for asphalt and paint stripper respectively. They have a web site, visit it and see . Based on soy beans so imagine can be considered green. Other than that, green products I have tried I have not been impressed with, at least as far as productivity times go.

This is one I recently started using, and I absolutely love it. It's easy to use, with the dispensing system, it's low-foam, low-odor, and it works amazingly. It's from Johnson Diversey. It's called Freedom. The link below will take you to the product spec page on Johnson's website. There are 2 versions of this stripper, and only one is "Green" but it explains that on the page. The green one is the one I've been using. We found it to be more expensive than a lot of other brands, but it works so well, it has cut our labor times, and we use less product, so the price is no longer a factor. www.johnsondiversey.com/wcmt/ProductAttachments/en-US/PIS/SPC031%20FreedomStripper.pdf |

Wow Bill, such big names for a Grizzly like you.
evetsclean,I checked out that link. thanks. the sc (green ) has a ph of around 11 and it is corrosive. Wonder what makes it green approved. Also is only available in despensing system. Not sure if that would work well for me. To me it seems like a so called Green stripper would be low ph and not corrosive. What do you think?

Dan, I think the reason it's considered "green" is because it gives off less air-borne irritants...or something to that effect. Something about the amount of smog produced. I know there is virtually no smell whatsoever. Also, the "non-green" stripper, if I remember correctly, has a pH just a little higher than 12, which would be much more corrosive. Other than that, I don't know what makes it "green", I just know that it has the seal on it, and it works amazingly. As for the dispensing system, if you have a faucet you can attach it to, it's a real plus. I was skeptical at first, but it measures the mix for ideal wax removal. Now, I'll say this, I'm using Castleguard wax, in a major grocery store, and this stripper takes it off like nothing I've ever seen. I've never been a fan of Johnson products since my days using Signature  but this product has really impressed me. I know our dealer provided us with a sample, as we buy so much stuff from them, I'm not sure if you could work out something like that with whoever you buy from. |
