Wood Flooring Maintenance - FLOORTIQUE Antique Stone and Wood Flooring

Floors finished with Hard Wax Oils

The floor should be regularly cleaned using a Dry Cleaning Set to remove dust and light debris.
To maintain the floor in a clean condition Bona or similar Parquet Cleaner should be used at intervals to suit the house owner’s needs. This should not be done for the first time less than 14 days after applying Hard Wax Oil. Instructions for use are on the product label.

A coat of Maintenance Oil can be applied at less frequent intervals. Instructions for application are on the product label. Typically this would not be done more frequently than 6 – 12 month intervals.
Where a Coloured Hardwax Oil has been used on the floor they need to be maintained with a matching Coloured Maintenance Oils. Because the same colours are used as in the Hard wax oil it will replenish localized loss of colour caused by heavy use. It will be best to clean it well using the method described above and then apply a thin coat of the appropriate coloured Maintenance Oil using a clean lint free cloth. Allow to dry, and determine if it is necessary to apply a further thin coat.
It is important to maintain a regular level of relative humidity where solid wood floors are fitted. We recommend that the levels be maintained between 45 and 65%. We can supply hair hygrometers, which can be placed on each floor level to monitor the humidity levels.
