How to apply maintenance oil for wood flooring?

First clean the floor thoroughly, and then let it dry fully for approximately 5 to 7 hours. For smaller surfaces, apply the oil with the use of cloth. For bigger surfaces we recommend using a machine with a rotating disk. On this occasion the maintenance oil is dripping on the floor, passing through a thin tube while the disk is polishing the re-oiled surface. On both instances you'll need to ensure that there is no excess oil on the surface as it can cause a lot of problems if it gets dry.

The time required to dry: 6 to 12 hours (depending on the ambient temperature and ventilation).

Note: It is important that the product you will use is resistant to liquids like water, wine, beer, juice, milk etc. as well as it meets all the demands of children's toys in case you have a family.

How Much Oil Will I Need?

One litre of maintenance oil is enough to cover an area of 70 to 100 square meters.
