Wood Floor Maintenance Oil Instructions
Clean the floor first using the Wood Floor Cleaner and Microfibre Spray Mop, ensuring all dust and dirt has been removed.
Shake bottle well and squirt directly onto the floor. Using the Microfibre Mop (with a clean mop pad) or Flooring Applicator Pad, spread the polish evenly and thinly across the floor wiping sideways against the grain. Apply very light fingertip pressure when doing this.
Then wipe following the direction of the grain for a lovely smooth finish. The floor should have a wet look that shines when applied, but not so much that it puddles.
Work in small, manageable sections, before moving onto the next area. The finish does not need to be buffed or polished.
The Maintenance Oil dries in only 30 minutes, and can then be walked on. However, if you can, leave it overnight before allowing heavy traffic to walk on the floor.
Wood Floor Maintenance Oil FAQ
Q. Should I use the maintenance oil to oil a wood floor?
A. The Maintenance Oil is designed for protecting and enhancing an already oiled wooden floor. Its much easier to apply, and dries a lot quicker than a normal wood floor oil. If you have an untreated wooden floor (bare wood) and you wish to turn it into an oiled wood floor, then you should use one of our Floor Oils to do this.
Q. Will the maintenance oil change the colour of my wooden floor?
A. No, it is very light in colour and does not contain any stain. It is designed to protect and enhance the oiled finish on the floor, not change it.
Q. How often should I re-oil my wooden floor?
A. Re-oiling should only be necessary after a thorough sand of the floor. The maintenance oil protects the oiled finish making it last longer. Simply, the maintenance oil will wear off and need to be re-applied, rather than the actual oiled floor finish. We recommend giving the floor a thorough clean and re-applying the Maintenance Oil once every six months.
Q. Will it make my floor shiny?
A. No. It is has a satin finish so is not glossy, or matt. The satin finish is typically the type of sheen achieved with all floor oils, so we have chosen it for the maintenance oil so that it matches all types of oiled flooring.
