Bona Cleaner For Oiled Floors | What Are Oiled Floors?

It is essential to pay attention to what type of hardwood floors you buy. Just because the shop punishes you in the direction of some type of finish, it does not mean that you need to go along.

All hardwood floors and all semi solid wood floors will require some level of regular maintenance. The question is, how much time have you got to deal with your floors and how expensive it is.

Oiled Floors | An oiled or waxed floor is a type of hardwood floor that was sealed with a floor oil or an hardwax oil. A floor oil is a natural blend of oils that waterproof the wood but it does not glaze or create any artificial looking finishes. A hardwax oil is still a natural floor oil but it imitates the floor lacquers by creating a coating over the top of the floor. So basically all types of floor oils are similar, it is applied with the same tools with the only difference being the end visual effect. Also, all oiled hardwood floors will require regular refreshing. By refreshing the oiled floor, the owner or the contractor is basically topping up the protecting coat in areas where the finish has worn off slightly or is just about to wear off. By refreshing the oiled floor, the protective coat will be reinstated and the risk of water damage is reduced. The floor can be refreshed in full or in areas. If some areas are likely to get more traffic than others, then the refreshing can happen more in the areas with higher traffic.

It has to be done. All natural floor oil being natural, are likely to evaporate and to wear off easier than the solvent or water based floor lacquers. While refreshing an oiled floor or a hardwax oil is not that hard, refreshing large commercial areas will require the use of floor buffers. While the market is packed with oiled floor refreshers, we recommend Bona Hardwax Floor Refresh as the main refresher for your floors.
