Hardwood Preservation Finish (Gloss) is designed to be used as a preservation finish over an existing urethane finish over a hardwood floor.
- It is a low-solid blend of urethane and acrylic so that it can be easily applied over a urethane finish after a thorough cleaning and a properly prepared base finish. The base finish can be prepared by the extraction or abrasive cleaning method.
- This preservation finish serves as the wear coat and protects the original finish of the floor. Apply the finish immediately after the extraction cleaning system is finished.
- A second coat of finish is optional for the extraction cleaning system.
- Apply the finish about an hour after the abrasion cleaning system is completed. The abrasion cleaning system leaves the hardwood floor damp making it necessary for a dry time of about an hour. A second coat of finish is necessary for the abrasion cleaning system.
To apply, use terry cloth covers and a finish applicator. Once a floor has dried naturally for approximately 45 minutes, a second coat of finish is then applied and also allowed to dry naturally. The end result is a clean, refinished, and rejuvenated wood floor and a happy customer.

pH and fibre compatibility
Bridgepoint publish a pH figure for most products in this range, and it is the single most useful number when deciding what to put on a floor.
| pH | Typical use | Fibre caution |
| 2.8 to 5.5 | Fibre set, encapsulating guards, acid rinses, protectors | Suits wool and natural fibre. Strongly acidic products can affect some dyes — test first. |
| 6.5 to 8 | Shampoos, fabric prespray, general cleaning | Broadly fibre safe including wool. |
| 9 to 10 | Encapsulants, powders, general prespray | Usually fine on synthetic. Check the label before use on wool. |
| 11 and above | Traffic lane cleaners, fire restoration, heavy degreasing | Synthetic only unless the label says otherwise. High alkalinity damages wool and can cause browning on natural fibre. |
Rinse to a neutral or slightly acidic finish. Alkaline residue left in the pile attracts soil and can cause the carpet to resoil faster than before it was cleaned. That is what an acid rinse is for, and why the pH of the rinse matters as much as the pH of the prespray.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this on wool?
Check the pH against the table above and read the label. Products at pH 11 and above are for synthetic fibre unless Bridgepoint state otherwise. Wool tolerates a much narrower pH band than nylon, and alkaline damage is not reversible.
Why does my carpet resoil quickly after cleaning?
Usually alkaline residue left in the pile. High pH cleaners work by breaking down soil, but anything left behind stays sticky. Rinsing to a neutral or slightly acidic finish is what prevents it.
Do I need to dilute exactly?
Yes. The dilution on the label is what the published pH refers to. Running a product stronger than specified moves the pH further from neutral, which increases both cleaning power and the risk to the fibre.
Is the documentation Australian?
The safety data sheet, label and specification sheet are Bridgepoint’s North American editions, provided for technical reference. Australian classification, transport and disposal requirements take precedence. Ask us if you need the Australian position on a specific product.
