Daddy Van's® All Natural Beeswax Countertop Care for Soapstone, Slate, Concrete Composite and Butcher Block Counter Tops - Food Safe, Chemical-Free and Non-Toxic - 6 Oz. Tin

Update- I've used this on so many different things, it worked great on my concrete counters, I also refinished an old wooden jewelry armoire, I used this over the black paint and it really brought out the color and gave it a sheen, also make it easier to dust. I'm refinishing a wall shelf did the same I used it on wood I stained for the back of a bar I tiled my mudroom floor recently and did something wrong with the grout. Even after sealing the floor it never looked right. I tested this on a section to see if it would help about 2 weeks ago and you can see in my pic the difference. This is a great product I have been searching about eight months for something to use over my concrete countertops that I did myself. I had sealed my countertops with a product but it wasn't enough it seemed everything I came across was extremely expensive I was about to suck it up and buy the Chens product and came across Daddy Vans, The reviews look good the price was great so I figured why not. I decided to test an area of my countertops with this before doing my entire 8 foot island. The product was very easy to apply I simply put some on a buffing cloth and rubbed over an area on the counter. I did buff it out somewhat (by hand) to make sure it was evenly applied. The process was very simple I have been procrastinating doing this hearing stories of having to constantly scrub/buff and go over and over. I was so happy with the application process. It also appears the small jar is going to go along way. I think I'll be able to do my two counters around my sink along with the island and still have some left over (I will update my process as I go along) I'm very impressed with the look of my countertops where I applied daddy van, I wouldn't say it's super shiny but it has a nice gloss finish to it. I believe if I wanted truer shine I could put on another layer. I'm also impressed that in the small area or I did it's keeping the water from the concrete, as concrete is very porous. I normally wouldn't write a review until I was finished, I will keep updating as I finish off my countertops. I wanted to try to help others that may have been in the same situation I was searching for something to finish off their concrete countertops. As I said I will post pictures and update this again once I'm done, I'm just thrilled to have found something. If you found my review helpful or if you have any questions please let me know. I try to give detailed reviews as I rely heavily on the reviews of others. I wish everyone lock that is DIY'ing their own counters. It is a process but definitely worth it

I started using Daddy Vans Hemp oil on my 100 year old wood tongue and groove floors. floors are original and want to keep them original. This oil is perfect. Restores deep and light wood, oil soaks in to protect where finish is worn, and especially bare wood. To even wood tone with water or a stains, depending on floor tone I use tannins from tea bag or coffee grounds to restore then, then oil it to hold color. I know My cat is safe and floors can be done in the winter when the heat is on and windows closed, no toxic order. Daddy Van furniture tub extends the beautiful wood and seal wood furniture better than anything I’ve before. I have used also to treat hand sewing thread in hand quilting projects, works well, a little goes a LONG way. I melt in my palm like hand cream and run the thread thru, non staining too.

applies as expected for beeswax~it does a very nice job on the tile though I do find reapplication is necessary once the countertop has been wiped with a damp cloth. Not a big deal and no huge project it's just not quite as waterproof as I'd expected. That said I would likely buy this product again for daily use. Only small amounts of the product is required to give the countertop a clean even appearance.

Love this stuff. Did a good job on the water marks and the wood looks great. Had been using a liquid oil, but believe this works better. A little goes a long way.

Regular application keeps new soapstone counters looking like new, and it brings old counters back to life. Wax polishes to a shine that shows off the natural patterns of the stone while making it easier to clean. Wax has no appreciable odor, and it dries without leaving a smell.

This is my first Amazon review ever but I depend on others so much I thought I would contribute. We"inherited" soapstone countertops in newly purchased home. They were in pretty rough shape: lots of edge chipping and very dull and dark. While I had originally loved the idea of soapstone, I thought about actually changing them for something else.... Decided to try "rehabbing" them: grinding edges and top surfaces. Got a nice new bevel on edges and a very light color. Lots of features showed - including the oil stains in the countertops. Talked to someone who recommended beeswax. I looked closely at product and found it contained alcohol and not to be used near heat. Of course, my counter goes right up to my stove on one side.So, more research. Found this truly food-grade product. LOVE IT! Easy to apply, no odor, and it works. Simply rubbed in with cloth and wiped down when done. Counters are now a but darker than when freshly ground, but still full of life. Veining and color variation show marvelously and water beads on top. Will probably reapply in a few months. (BTW, I read about another product made from walnut oil. While I haven't tried it, sounds like it makes the counters pretty dark. I'll stick with this one.)

I highly recommend Daddy Van's beeswax polish. The smell is subtle, the result on wood furniture needing care is astonishing... a little work to apply on a clean cloth, buff and what a difference. Will be good on my countertop, i.e. the last cleaner I bought is for stone etc. and food safe. The joy is that you can keep using the polish on wood for a low, satin luster there in No Build Up.. A very good purchase, worth every cent!!

Good stuff.

This wax looks nice when you first apply to concrete counter top but as soon as you put a cup or water on counter it leaves a ring mark or droplet marks
