What do Floor Polishers say?
“I have been sanding and coating floors for more than 15 years and Treatex (Hardwax Oil) is by far the best product I've ever used . I wished I’d found it years ago. I am now redoing my own home with Treatex and won't use anything else. I cannot speak highly enough of Whittle Waxes. They are brilliant. Their service is second to none. I've never dealt with a company like them.” Bob Morris

"It has now been 9 months since we extended the flooring showroom. The wax finishes you suggested then still look as good as the new Oak panel you coated last week . I thought it was timely to drop you a line to let you know how pleased we and our customers are with Whittle Wax finishes.
Your professionalism and follow up to our builder and customer referrals is something we greatly value and appreciate. Although we don’t sell floor coatings as such having sections of the showroom floor has been beneficial to visitors. Customers can see and compare the varying effect different coatings can have on the look and appeal of a timber floor. I’m sure many are glad to see a genuine alternative to traditional polyurethane coatings! Our customer response, particularly interior Designers and Architects has been excellent and hope it is reflecting in your business."

"75 evacuated from office building" – 24 May 2006
SEVENTY-five people were evacuated from a Sydney CBD building after fumes from a timber solvent overcame a third of them. Authorities said about 25 of the workers evacuated from the building on the corner of George Street and Martin Place about 4.30pm (AEST) were treated at the scene by ambulance officers after suffering nausea and vomiting.
A New South Wales Fire Brigades spokesman said the fumes originated from a polyurethane solvent that was being applied to timber on the third floor. The fumes spread throughout the four-storey building, causing workers to feel ill. Hazardous material workers were at the scene and would determine when the building was safe to re-enter.
