Who is the manufacturer of future floor polish?
Pledge did not buy out Future. That is nonsense. The product is made by Johnson, and always has been. Future was a stand alone product for many, many years, and is basically a clear acrylic “paint” to put over hard floors. While some people call it a wax, it is not. The Pledge series of pruducts are a very well known line for Johnson.
What’s the difference between pledge and future floor polish?
Pledge and Future have always both been SC Johnson trademarks. All they did was merge the two product lines. Pledge used to be only furniture polish and now they’ve expanded to brand to include other cleaning and polishing products. Future just got moved over to the Pledge side of the company.
Can you use future floor polish on wood floors?
In the future (no pun intended) I will try spraying a slightly heavier coat. The stuff you have is the same Future you read about. They were bought out by Pledge. Yes, you want the tile floor stuff, not the wood floor version. If you are applying it over flat paint it will take a coat or two to get a real smooth surface.
How long does it take for future floor polish to harden?
What you need to do is experiment with airbrushing Future onto some scrap plastic and see just how many coats it takes for a glossy finish to your liking. I have brushed on “Future” was for about 20 years now, it takes less than an hour to harden and it’s always glass smooth.
