I did use mr sheen furniture polish back in the day
, but the novelty did wear off for me. If i do a job that's say had a driveway re - sanded, i just think 'damnel i will have to flush the pole out after doing this'. I then just extend it fully, put it on the floor brush up, lift the base up, stick a water flow down it 30 secs and flush (if u have a outlet on the neck). If its really bad then its a strip down and wash job.
