1How is this different from the old Johnson floor waxes, other than it likely smells better? Mineral oil is a by-product of making gasoline, and while it will soften previous applications of waxes, you're still just spreading the old wax/dirt goo around on the floor with fresh wax, yes?
2I'm sorry, but so fresh and so clean phrase is really starting to bug me.
3I love most of your posts, but two of the ingredients you listed (the wax and mineral oil) are both petroleum products that can cause health problems. Personally, I'd buy VOC free Danish oil or figure out a way to make my own if it was less expensive.
