Product Specifications

Directions for Use

Ax-It® is intended for baseboards and other hard-to-reach areas. It should not be used on painted surfaces. Test a small, inconspicuous area first to verify suitability and check for color changes. Shake well, hold the can upside down, and spray from approximately 6–10 inches away, applying a thin, even coating. Allow the product to penetrate for 3–5 minutes, then wet scrub with a cleansing pad or sponge. Wipe away the liquefied finish with a damp cloth or mop. 

Safety: The current SDS classifies Ax-It® as a hazardous aerosol. It can cause skin and serious eye irritation, may cause drowsiness or dizziness, and presents an aspiration hazard. Use appropriate gloves and eye/face protection, work in a well-ventilated area, and follow the current product label and SDS. 

Why Choose Ax-It® Baseboard Stripper?

Ax-It® Baseboard Stripper provides a targeted solution for removing years of accumulated wax, floor finish, dirt, and soil from areas that are difficult or impossible to reach with conventional floor machines. Its fast-acting gel stays where it is applied, allowing the buildup to soften before mechanical agitation and wiping.

The 19-ounce ready-to-use aerosol makes Ax-It® particularly convenient for detail cleaning, floor restoration, and routine maintenance around baseboards, coves, stairs, and other edges.
