As makers of Safecoat, SafeChoice and AFM Naturals building products, our mission is to provide products formulated to eliminate toxic emissions and prevent bad indoor air quality to create healthy homes, schools and offices - and ultimately protect the environment. Originally formulated for physicians to meet the needs of chemically sensitive patients, our products are helpful in solving the problems associated with sick building syndrome. And so we proudly named them "Safe" and "Natural" to reflect our first concern being health and safety.
Thank you so much for going beyond good customer service and being so generous. I'm happy to report that these products (SafeChoice Cleaners) not only are good cleaning agents and they also are appropriate for use around those with allergies and respiratory conditions such as asthma. When I first found it on-line it sounded to good to be true - natural, non-toxic, easy to work with, short curing time! In the interest of furthering knowledge and use of green products I have enclosed photos of a wooden countertop that I finished using your products.
Complete your home or commercial project with the least toxicity possible, safety for occupants' health, and maximum environmental sustainability. Choose durable, long-lasting paint finishes to seal in outgassing from hazardous chemicals contained in previously used coatings or building materials. No extenders, drying agents, formaldehyde, mildewcides and fungicides.

Being super sensitive, I chose AFM Safecoat floor paint to paint my concrete floors. I talked at length with a service person from Greenbuildingsupply, discussed applications. There is where the boo boo happened and this review should perhaps be about them, they are a good source of products but you need to research use yourself. Safecoat can recommends cleaning with Safecoat safety cleaner or even an acid wash for adherance.
This was not suggested to me at order time. I did not read the can, shame on me. I power cleaned these 40+year old unsealed always covered concrete floors then applied the paint, 2 coats total. No unpleasant odors, sheen is eggshell versus semigloss. Live in an desert with lots of sand and blowing wind, dirt sticks to this paint, it always looks grimey I can mop 3x/day and still get more dirt and it never looks good.
All my furniture has felt pads and yet this paint is chipping up and scratching, 1400 sq feet of unattractive flooring. I treat it like it is laminate. I could not tolerate sherman williams floor paint, totally toxic for me and also scratched easily. Using a speciality cleaner could have been a problem, I would have had to trial that, acidic wash out of the question for me.
I had a tight time frame, tried to plan well and it bombed. Several phone calls to Greenbuildingsupply, last one finally talked about the prep, too late. Plus you cannot spot touch up this paint, it looks odd (like dirtier) My daughter had good results with Valspar porch and floor, I am going to try that next. This paint may function great with proper prep. The photo with the blotches is where a touch up was done to cover scratches
