FAQs
Can I use Liberon Wood Floor Oil on a varnished floor?
No, this product is only suitable for untreated real wood floors. It needs to penetrate the wood to provide protection.
How many coats should I apply?
A minimum of one coat is recommended, but two coats are advised for better protection and durability, especially in high-traffic areas. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
What is the coverage rate?
The coverage is approximately 10-12 square meters per litre, depending on the type and porosity of the wood.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time is typically 12-24 hours between coats. The floor should be left for a full 7 days before subjecting it to heavy use or placing rugs.
Is it suitable for bathrooms?
Yes, it is water, heat, and ethanol resistant, making it suitable for areas like kitchens and bathrooms where moisture and spills are more common.
How do I maintain an oiled wood floor?
Regular cleaning with a slightly damp mop is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Periodically, you may need to reapply the oil to refresh the finish and protection.
Can I use this on an engineered wood floor?
This product is intended for solid, untreated real wood floors. For engineered wood, check the manufacturer's recommendations, as some engineered floors have a pre-finished top layer.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or patchy appearance
This is usually due to excess oil not being wiped off properly. Ensure all excess oil is thoroughly removed after application. If the problem persists, you may need to lightly sand the affected area and reapply, ensuring proper removal of excess.
Wood feels sticky after drying
Too much oil was applied, or not enough was wiped off. Allow more drying time. If still sticky, you may need to buff the area with a cloth soaked in white spirit or reapply the oil thinly and wipe off all excess thoroughly.
Stains are still appearing
Ensure the floor was properly prepared and at least two coats were applied, with adequate drying time between each. For severe staining issues, further treatment or a different product may be necessary.
Water marks visible
While water-resistant, prolonged exposure to standing water can still affect the finish. Ensure any spills are wiped up promptly. Reapplication of the oil may be necessary to restore water repellency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for untreated real wood floors. Do not use on laminate, vinyl, or previously finished/sealed wood floors.
Preparation: Ensure the wood floor is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old finishes. Sand if necessary and vacuum thoroughly.
Application: Apply thinly and evenly with a brush or applicator pad, following the direction of the wood grain. Work on small sections at a time. Allow the oil to penetrate for 15-30 minutes. Wipe off any excess oil that has not been absorbed using a clean, lint-free cloth. Ensure all excess is removed to prevent a sticky surface.

Care: Clean spills immediately. For regular cleaning, use a slightly damp mop or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water. For maintenance, a light reapplication of the oil may be needed every 1-3 years, depending on wear.
