Maintenance Recommendations Oiled Floors Maintenance of UV-oiled wood floors – Natural Soap from Danecare  In order to ensure lasting pleasure of your oil finished floor, it is especially necessary to care correctly for the floor right after installation. With the right care, the oiled floor will become increasingly easy to clean and more hard wearing as the Natural Soap protects the floor with an invisible film making the floor more resistant to dirt. Normal Cleaning  The daily cleaning is made with broom or vacuum cleaner. All floors should be cleaned with a hard-wrung, wet cloth regularly. When cleaning oiled floors, Natural Soap is added to the water (1/8 ltr. of Natural Soap into 5 ltr. of Luke-warm water). Natural Soap has two functions: it cleans the floor and at the same time forms a protective Natural Soap film on the floor making the surface more resistant. Observe: always work with two buckets -one with Natural Soap water and one with clear water for rinsing of dirty cloth or mop. Important: always wipe floor with Natural Soap on cloth or mop. Basic Cleaning If the floor has been neglected or become very dirty, clean it with Wood Cleaner. The Wood Cleaner is added to the water (1 ½ dl. of Wood Cleaner into 5 ltr. of luke-warm water). Also work with two buckets in this instance. Immediately after cleaning with Wood Cleaner, the floor should also be cleaned with Natural Soap in order to restore the protective Natural Soap film. Spot Remover  Difficult spots can be removed with Spot Remover. The Spot Remover is sprayed on the spot and left to dissolve it. Repeat treatment if necessary. Fluids absorbed deeper inside the surface of the floor can be remove by sanding with very high grit (400 or more) sanding paper. However, this requires a subsequent treatment of spot with Maintenance Paste natural or white. Maintaining with Maintenance Paste After a certain period of use, the oiled floor will perhaps look slightly worn and matt and should be maintained with a small quantity of Maintenance Paste. Before applying the paste, clean the floor with Wood Cleaner mixed with water. Leave the floor to dry for some hours. Make sure that the floor is completely dry before application of Maintenance Paste. Maintenance Paste should be applied onto the floor and immediately polished in by hand or with polishing machine. Repeat the treatment if necessary. The floor should look saturated with paste and have a silky matt surface. Make sure that all paste residues are polished well into surface using cotton cloths or white polishing pads. Note: in order to prevent a self-ignition of the paste-wetted cloths and pads, soak these in water immediately after use or burn them. After approx. four to five hours (at 18 -20 degrees celsius) the floor may be used again. After 48 hours, the floor may be cleaned with Natural Soap Woca (previously known as Trip Trap) Natural Soap is available from Danecare.
