Compositions and methods for treating a cellulosic substrate to impart water resistance are disclosed herein. The compositions are waxy solids that include a mixture of a fluorowax and a hydrocarbon wax. The compositions are applied to cut edges of a cellulosic substrate, such as a wood-based flooring material, to impart water resistance to the cellulosic substrate. The compositions and methods are useful on a wide range of wood-based flooring materials, including hardwood, laminate, and engineered wood flooring.
