Read below some practical notes for oiling and treating the wood floor:
EVERYDAY MAINTENANCE
The need for maintenance will vary, depending on a number of factors. Maintenance should be carried out more frequently if the floor is cleaned regularly with a damp cloth, because this will have an abrasive effect on the protective coating. Floors subject to greater wear, such as surfaces regularly walked on with outdoor shoes, will also require more frequent maintenance. Pale, porous wood species, such as beech and ash, will require more frequent maintenance than other wood species.
Once your floor becomes harder to clean, it is time to carry out maintenance.
In most cases, the floor will require maintenance twice in the first year and then once a year. Ideally, your first floor maintenance should take place straight after it has been laid. During the first maintenance treatment, the entire surface should be treated; if you do this immediately after the floor has been installed, you won’t need to move any furniture. This will also give additional protection against moisture penetration between joints.
If you aren’t able to perform initial maintenance straight away, but wait six to twelve months, the easiest way to carry out the procedure is to move all of your furniture to one half of the room. Carry out maintenance on the cleared half, wait one to two hours, then transfer furniture to the treated area and repeat the procedure on the rest of the floor. Subsequent maintenance can be carried out on the parts of the floor surface that really need it, such as the areas that are walked on.
The floor’s moisture resistance, durability and dirt-repellent properties will increase each time you maintain it.
NB! Timberex flooroils are easily burning, all equipment should be put in water or burn in fire.
Right everyday treatment and maintenance ensure beautiful floor for long time and without re-abrading.
EVERYDAY TREATMENT
- Daily cleaning is done with vacuum cleaner or by sweeping. The frequency of floor cleaning depends on the wear on the floor.
- Natural Soap is shaken carefully before use.
- Mix 3 ounces of Soap into each gallon of lukewarm water. It is recommended always to work with 2 buckets; one with the Soap solution and the other one with rinse water. Clean the floor with minimum quantity of water – leave soap water on floor briefly in order to disso lve dirt. Remove dirty soap water with hard wrung cotton mop or cotton cloth and rinse out in rinse water bucket. Change rinse water often!
- Always wipe floor with soap water on hard-wrung mop or cloth in order to reestablish the protective Natural Soap film.
- Using the 2 bucket cleaning method is effective and yields an extremely clean surface. It is, however, also possible to use a Swiffer-type system in combination with Soap Spray, provided that any micro fiber pad isreplaced with a cotton pad.
REMOVING STAINS, SCRATCHES AND BURNS
- Be sure area is dry before applying oil. It is very important to let the floor dry completely before any Master Oil or Color Oil is applied. Any trapped moisture under the oil may cause mildew to develop, which causes black or dark blotches in the floor. It may also greatly increase drying time of the oil.
- Leave the oil to absorb for a short period of time before thoroughly buffing with a cloth and then removing the oil from the surrounding area with a clean, dry cloth. Deeper scratches or gouges should be sanded until they are no longer visible. Do not use a sand paper that is too fine.
- 100 grit sandpaper will usually suffice, then clean the spot with lukewarm water and let dry completely. Then follow directions for light scratches above.Whenever an area of the floor has been cleaned or repaired with new oil, it is important to remove all new oil from the surrounding area. This is easily done using a polishing cloth or a cotton rag, which then allows both areas to blend by having approximately the same sheen level. If necessary, steel wool can also be used to eliminate the effect of a slightly higher gloss level in the area around the repair.
