In the past you waxed your floor to make it shiny for the public, and to protect and prolong the life of your floor. Red Alert Wax Floor Safety Coating has given you a new reason to wax your floor, which is to now warn the public that your floor is wet with invisible water that has been spilled or tracked in. This beautiful shiny floor now lets people know where the water is, and to avoid it until someone is notified to clean it up. People naturally avoid a spill that they see and by using Red Alert Floor Safety Coating your floor now becomes a early wet floor warning system. After the spill is cleaned and the floor is dry it will go back to it’s original shiny waxed floor that we have all become accustomed to seeing and like.
