FAQs
Can I use this on a previously varnished or painted floor?
No, Liberon Wood Floor Oil is designed for untreated real wood floors only. Previous finishes must be completely removed before application.
How often should I reapply the oil?
This depends on traffic. For high-traffic areas, reapplication may be needed every 1-2 years. Watch for signs of the wood looking dry or worn.
What is the coverage rate?
The coverage is approximately 10-12 square meters per litre.
Is the finish waterproof?
The oil provides water resistance, meaning it will protect against spills and splashes. However, prolonged exposure to standing water should be avoided.
Can I use this on exotic hardwoods?
This oil is suitable for most untreated real wood floors. However, it's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first, especially with exotic or oily woods.
How long does it take to dry?
The surface will be touch-dry within a few hours, but it takes at least 24 hours to cure fully before heavy use. Avoid washing for 7 days.
Does it provide a shiny finish?
No, it provides a natural, soft sheen that enhances the wood's inherent beauty without creating a high-gloss look.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or blotchiness
Ensure excess oil was thoroughly wiped off after application. Apply another thin coat, working it into the patchy areas and wiping off any surplus.
Surface remains sticky or tacky
This indicates too much oil was applied or not enough was wiped off. Ensure all excess oil is removed. If still tacky after 24 hours, lightly buff with fine steel wool and wipe clean, then allow to dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
Oil is not penetrating the wood
The wood may have a pre-existing finish or sealant. Ensure the floor is properly prepared and has an open grain. Sanding may be required.
Water marks or stains are appearing
Ensure sufficient coats of oil have been applied and have fully cured. Reapply oil to the affected area and surrounding wood, ensuring even coverage and proper drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for untreated real wood floors. It is not suitable for pre-finished, engineered, laminated, or synthetic flooring. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Preparation: Ensure the wood floor is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, wax, and old finishes. Sand lightly if necessary to create a smooth, open-grained surface. For best results, wipe down with a tack cloth to remove all dust.
Application: Apply the oil thinly and evenly with a brush, roller, or cloth, following the direction of the wood grain. Work on small sections at a time. Allow the oil to penetrate for 10-15 minutes. Wipe off any excess oil that has not been absorbed with a clean, lint-free cloth. A second thin coat can be applied after 4-6 hours if a richer finish is desired, again wiping off any excess. Allow the floor to cure fully for at least 24 hours before heavy use, and avoid washing for 7 days.
Care: Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth. For routine cleaning, use a well-wrung-out mop. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Reapply the oil as needed, typically every 1-2 years for high-traffic areas, or when the floor begins to look dry or worn. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during application and drying.
