For spruce indoors, use Osmo Hardwax-Olie Original or Osmo Olie-Beits. Spruce is light and soft, and an oil soaks into the wood and makes the surface more resistant to spilled liquids, without losing its light tone.
Which finish for which spruce surface
Treat a spruce floor, stairs or wall with two thin coats of Hardwax-Olie Original. The oil makes the soft wood harder and more hard-wearing and can be touched up locally. For spruce furniture, a table top or worktop, choose TopOil, which is food safe and resistant to coffee, wine and water. The tutorial treating spruce indoors shows it step by step.
Water rings and yellowing
Untreated spruce is prone to water rings and stains, and yellows under the influence of light. An oil finish makes the surface water-repellent. If you want to keep the wood light, first apply Hardwax-Olie Effect Natural 3041, made for light wood species such as spruce, followed by one coat of Hardwax-Olie Original.
White wash or colour
For a Scandinavian white wash, buff on one coat of Olie-Beits in 3501 Wit and finish with two coats of clear Hardwax-Olie Original. For an even colour on a floor, use Hardwax-Olie Farbig. Spruce absorbs colour unevenly because of the difference between soft and hard growth rings, so always test a colour on leftover material first. You will find more background in treating spruce.
Maintaining oiled spruce
Mop a floor with Wisch-Fix and refresh worn spots with Vloeibare Onderhoudswas. This keeps the soft wood protected for a long time, and you can touch up scratches locally without sanding. For spruce outdoors, such as a fence or shed, see spruce outdoors.
