FAQs
Can I use this oil on a lacquered floor?
No, this maintenance oil is specifically formulated for oil-finished wooden floors only. It is not suitable for lacquered, waxed, or other finishes.
How often should I apply the maintenance oil?
The frequency of application depends on the wear and tear the floor receives. You should reapply when the floor starts to look dull or worn, typically every 6-12 months for moderate use, or more often for high-traffic areas.
How do I prepare my floor before using the oil?
Ensure the floor is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, wax, or polish. A thorough cleaning with a recommended wood floor cleaner is advised, followed by complete drying.
What is the drying time for this product?
The oil is fast-drying. The floor should be dry to the touch within a few hours, but it's best to avoid heavy traffic for at least 24 hours to allow the finish to fully cure.
Can I use this oil on painted wood floors?
No, this product is designed for bare, oil-finished wood. It is not suitable for painted surfaces.
What does 'White Matt' mean for the finish?
'White Matt' refers to the very subtle, almost transparent white undertone combined with a non-reflective, matte finish that the oil imparts. It enhances the wood without making it look glossy.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks after application
This is often due to applying the oil too thickly or not buffing off the excess properly. Ensure you apply a thin, even coat and buff thoroughly until dry. You may need to apply a very thin additional layer and rebuff.
Floor still looks dull after application
Ensure the floor was thoroughly cleaned and prepped before application. The surface may have absorbed the oil unevenly if it was heavily soiled or had residues. For heavily worn areas, a second thin coat may be necessary after the first has dried.
Product not drying
Ensure ventilation in the room is adequate. Excessive humidity or low temperatures can slow drying. If applied too thickly, it can also inhibit drying. Try to increase air circulation and buff lightly again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This maintenance oil is exclusively designed for oil-finished wooden floors. It is not suitable for lacquered, waxed, or other types of wood finishes.
Preparation: Ensure the wooden floor is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, and any old wax or polish residues. If necessary, clean the floor thoroughly with a suitable wood floor cleaner and allow it to dry completely.
Application:
- Shake the container well before use.
- Apply a thin, even layer of the oil using a lint-free cloth, applicator pad, or a floor polishing machine with a suitable pad.
- Work the oil into the wood, ensuring uniform coverage.
- Allow the oil to penetrate for the time recommended on the product packaging (usually a few minutes).

Care:
- For regular cleaning, use a damp (not wet) mop and a pH-neutral cleaner recommended for oiled wooden floors.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as these can damage the finish.
- Reapply the maintenance oil as needed, typically when the floor begins to look dull or worn, following the application steps above.
