Yes but


While the label says it’s good for all wood...it does not indicate that it is good for pre finished wood. I would call Aerus and also a reputable hardwood company. You could actually be wearing down the polyurethane finish with those brushes!  Polyurethane should last many many years. My parents put it in their hardwoods in 1966 and it stayed nice for 20 years in the high traffic areas and in the less high traffic areas it still looks good today.  Personally I think Aerus Electrolux should be more specific when they say “All wood”. Yes all wood that has not had polyurethane on it will accept the product so they are correct in saying it that way. Usually most people know that polyurethane floors never should be waxed. It also could become a slip hazard should you wax them.


If you really want to wax your floors then you should have the floors sanded and restained then wax and polish them. Basically polyurethane is a plastic finish so you are not applying the wax to the wood, but rather to the plastic coating. There are unfinished composite products that can be waxed and stone as well can be waxed because these products do t have a “finish” applied. The reason this is called a “finish” is because it is the final coat to finish or complete the process of protecting your floors from wear.


If your polyurethane has worn in some areas really the floors should be stripped or sanded and restained and refinished.  A proper polyurethane product for hardwoods will last many years before the floors would need to be refinished.
