Should You Wax Your Floor Molding?19

As a leading manufacturer of edge banding in China, we are often asked whether or not floor molding should be waxed. The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, including the type of molding, the finish, and the amount of traffic the area receives.

Types of Molding

There are two main types of floor molding: solid wood and MDF (medium-density fiberboard). Solid wood molding is more durable and can withstand more wear and tear than MDF molding. However, it is also more expensive. MDF molding is a more affordable option, but it is not as durable as solid wood molding.

Finishes

Floor molding can be finished with a variety of materials, including paint, stain, or laminate. Paint is the most common finish for floor molding, and it is available in a wide range of colors and finishes. Stain is another popular option, and it can give floor molding a more natural look. Laminate is a durable and easy-to-clean finish, and it is available in a variety of colors and patterns.

Traffic

The amount of traffic that an area receives will also affect whether or not you should wax floor molding. If an area receives a lot of traffic, it is more likely that the floor molding will become scratched or damaged. In this case, it is a good idea to wax the floor molding to protect it from damage.

Benefits of Waxing Floor Molding

There are several benefits to waxing floor molding, including:
Protection: Waxing floor molding can help to protect it from scratches, dents, and other damage.
Beauty: Waxing floor molding can help to enhance its natural beauty and make it look more polished.
Ease of cleaning: Waxed floor molding is easier to clean than un-waxed floor molding. The wax will help to repel dirt and dust, making it less likely to stick to the molding.

How to Wax Floor Molding

Waxing floor molding is a relatively simple process. Here are the steps:
Clean the molding. Use a damp cloth to clean the molding and remove any dirt or dust.
Apply the wax. Apply a thin coat of wax to the molding using a soft cloth. Be sure to work in small sections and rub the wax into the molding in a circular motion.
Buff the molding. Once you have applied the wax, buff it with a clean cloth to remove any excess wax and give the molding a shine.

Conclusion

Whether or not you should wax your floor molding depends on a number of factors. However, if you are looking for a way to protect your floor molding and make it look its best, waxing is a great option.
