FAQs
What is Osmo Polyx-Oil Original?
It is a hardwax oil finish made from natural oils and waxes that protects and enhances interior wood surfaces, providing a durable and water-resistant matte finish.
Is this product suitable for all wood types?
It is suitable for most interior wood floors, parquet, laminate, cork, doors, and furniture. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially with exotic woods.
How do I apply the 5ml sample sachet?
Open the sachet and apply a very thin, even coat using a cloth or a small brush. Remove any excess oil within 5-10 minutes with a clean, lint-free cloth. This sample is for testing purposes.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time is approximately 12-24 hours between coats, with a full cure taking 2-3 weeks. Ensure good ventilation.
Can I use this on a kitchen countertop?
Yes, it is suitable for interior wood surfaces, including kitchen countertops, provided they are properly prepared and maintained.
What is the difference between matte and satin finishes?
The matte finish offers a very low sheen, enhancing the natural look of the wood. The satin finish provides a slight sheen, offering a bit more protection and a slightly different aesthetic.
How do I maintain a Polyx-Oil finished surface?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. For restoration or when the finish looks dull, apply Osmo Maintenance Oil.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or "oily" patches
Excess oil was not removed properly after application. Buff the affected areas with a clean cloth or apply a very thin coat of Polyx-Oil and remove immediately.
Wood appears too dark or blotchy
This can happen on certain wood types. Ensure even application and proper removal of excess oil. Test on a scrap piece first.
Finish feels tacky after drying
The oil may not have been applied thinly enough, or there wasn't enough ventilation during drying. Ensure thin coats and good air circulation. You may need to buff the surface.
Water spots or rings appearing
The oil may not have fully cured, or the surface may need a maintenance coat. Ensure adequate drying time and consider applying Osmo Maintenance Oil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old finishes. Lightly sand the surface if necessary and remove all dust. For unfinished wood, one thin coat of Polyx-Oil Original is usually sufficient. For oiled or waxed wood, a maintenance oil application may be more appropriate after cleaning.
Application: Apply a very thin coat of Osmo Polyx-Oil Original using a brush, roller, or cloth. Work the oil into the wood grain. Remove any excess oil after approximately 5-10 minutes of drying time with a lint-free cloth. Allow to dry for 12-24 hours before applying a second thin coat if needed. Full cure typically takes 2-3 weeks.
Compatibility: Suitable for solid wood floors, parquet, laminate, cork, and furniture. Not recommended for exterior use. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Care: Clean spills immediately. For regular cleaning, use a damp mop or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water. To maintain the finish, reapply a thin coat of Osmo Maintenance Oil as needed, typically when the surface appears dull or dry.
