I called Anderson Wood Floors because I have the same problem, and they told me to use Mineral Spirits; that it should get all the residue off, however not without using a bit of "elbow grease." I have not tried it yet, as I just got the info.

How do you clean the residue left behind by Orange Glo from your floors?

Do NOT use this Orange Glo product nor buy any of the ebooks folks are trying to sell you on how to remove the build up/haze. I called Orange Glo's customer service line directly and found out how to remove this product off the floor. Their solution? Plain old ammonia and good old fashioned hands and knees elbow Yup, an entire weekend on my hands and knees, to get the floors back to their original luster because there was so much build up on them.We've been using this product and at first it really looked nice but then the floors started looking dull and very scratched up. I didn't understand why and then noted streaks where some parts of the floor were shiny and others were dull so I scraped with my fingernail and removed some product. Underneath it was shiny. So I decided to Google and found that lots of people were having the same problem!Directions from Orange Glo's customer service line:1. Mix 1/2 cup of ammonia with 1 gallon of warm water.2. Apply solution to floor with mop in inconspicuous place first to test.3. Once you determine it's okay to use on your floors...apply to floor and let stand for 5 minutes.4. Wipe up the solution with a clean soft cloth.5. Wipe with circular motion if there is more of a build up.6. According to how much build up you have...you might have to repeat the process until it's all off.I'm very disappointed this product is still being sold in stores as no one should ever use this on their floors!P.S. I'm a housewife so anyone wasting their time changing this answer to promote the sell of their eBook will get frustrated REALLY quick! se.
