Hi, looking for Future Floor Wax. I know they changed the name and packaging but I am having a heck of a time fnding it. I tried a few that I "thought" was future.... Lets just say we have a nice little collection of floor wax bottles under the the kitchen sink. I tried all the local Home Improvement stores and most big box stores.... What am I looking for with the new labeling? I know it doesn't say future on the bottle. Could someone send me a picture?
Any suggestions where I can find it? Thank you

Look for Pledge. It does not say Future anymore. Here are some links Amazon and Wallyworld

The only concern I have heard is there is a Pledge for wood floors. That is NOT the one you want. If you look at the backside of the label (looking through the bottle) it should say 'Acrylic Floor Finish for Non-Wax and Regular floors'

I don't know if it's a regional issue or what but Pledge has been very hard to find here in North Carolina. A lot of my go-to merchants have quit carrying it.

I picked my last bottle up at Walmart (Canada), I would think the stores South of the Border would carry the same items.

Hey Kevin, no such luck around my area. Only thing I have seen is the Floor Cleaning Pledge in the white bottle. All of the sudden the Floor Finish Pledge disappeared from the shelves of Wallie World, Lowes, Home Depot, grocery stores and dollar stores.

Best wishes,

Ian

Hope that is not a sign of things to come up here, might have to stock up. Any idea on the shelf life?? Or maybe a business idea, buy big bottles, put it in small bottles and sell it. LOL

Kevin, I have kept bottles for years. No issues as long as they are sealed tight and kept out of the sunlight. I hope the Floor Finish line is not dwindling but not looking good.....at least around where I live. Testors Gloss will get expensive for every model.

Ian

My last bottle, which I think is about 6 or 7 years old started to yellow and thicken. Good think there was only about an inch or two left in the bottle.

Check this out:

http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html

It has been my go-to site on anything Future. Also shows how the packaging evolved over the years to what's current. I saw that the content has recently been updated.

Thanks for all of the replies guys, yes extremely hard to find in my neck of the woods. Im located in the philadelphia area and I havent seen squat when it comes to the future floor wax. I hate to order it and pay that shipping charge.... From all the gas ive been burning up looking for it, I might as well order it 😟

Ian

Hit 2 of my usual spots and they did not have it in stock. Had the cleaner wood finish but no pledge for vinyl floors (Acrylic). Guess vinyl floors are out now along with shag carpet and waterbeds. Seems a dim future for future. Luckily I still have 2 bottles with the old future label and a later bottle with the future name on it but I do see it starting to yellow a bit.

Not so cheers

I had the same issue when i moved over here to Australia from the UK, no Pledge, no Klear, no Future. Apparently the local major chain supermarket sold pledge but no luck finding it.

The i went to our chain DIY store, Bunnings, and asked there for an acrylic floor shine. They have this stuff (in 5l cartons) that is as thin as Klear, has a milky appearance, which i believe the new formula Pledge stuff does and it self levels. Ive done a couple of tests and seems to act just like the Future/Klear/Pledge floor polish, drying nice and shiny and also crystal clear on canopies etc.

the stuff is called Long Life self shining polish, so for any Aussies out there that are stuck.....

Delayed reply. According to S.C. Johnson, in the US, they have relabeled the old Pledge, Future, etc...

It is now Pledge Floor Care Finish "Multi Surface Finish".

I got it right off the shelf at my local Ace Hardware.
Also saw at my local Lowes and Home Depot.

Thanks for the question.We’re happy to help!

Our former Pledge® floor care products with Future® Shine on thelabel are now called Pledge® FloorCare Finish – one version for Wood and onefor Multi Surfaces. These formulas are the same as the previously sold products.

Pledge® FloorCare Finish is designed for use on floors. As such,we have not tested it on polymer clay. While this is considered a non-directeduse, if you have found satisfactorily results, you can proceed with this usageat your own risk.

I bought 3 bottles of Future a few years ago. I've used about 1/20 of a bottle so far. My future will not be without Future.

I found that mine started to yellow after about 5 years in my supply cupboard. Hopefully is was just that release, as have bought some extras now. I use one bottle about every 5-6 years.
