Best Practices for Using Force of Nature on Wood
To achieve the best results and ensure the longevity of your wood surfaces, follow these simple guidelines:
- Light Application: Spray a fine mist of Force of Nature directly onto the wood surface. Avoid saturating the wood, as excessive moisture can be detrimental to some finishes.
- Immediate Wiping: Promptly wipe the sprayed area with a clean, soft microfiber cloth. This ensures the surface is cleaned and disinfected without leaving excess moisture.
- Test in an Inconspicuous Area: Before widespread use, especially on antique or unsealed wood, always perform a patch test in a small, hidden area to ensure compatibility with the finish.
- Address Spills Quickly: For sticky spills or tougher spots, spray directly and let it sit for a few seconds before wiping clean.
