The best Osmo finishes for wenge indoors
The best way to treat wenge indoors is with Osmo Hardwax-Olie or TopOil, because wenge's coarse pores easily trap dust without a finish, and an oil makes the surface easier to keep clean.
Wisch-Fix is the product to keep your Osmo-treated wooden floor clean. Wisch-Fix is a concentrated cleaning and maintenance product, ideal for cleaning various wooden surfaces. This floor cleaner is suitable for surfaces treated with Osmo Hardwax Oil, with or without color.

Osmo Clear Wax is the product for treating hardwood and tropical woods. These are generally darker woods, which are greasier than other types of wood. Examples of these woods include Meranti, Wenge, and Merbau. In the "Documents" section, you will find the different wood types and the recommended finish for your type. Hardwoods (tropical woods) often have the tendency to absorb products like Osmo Hardwax-Oil with greater difficulty. Therefore, Osmo developed Clear Wax, which is suitable for most hardwoods. Osmo Clear Wax is an oil- and wax-based product, but with a minimal wax content. This is beneficial for hardwoods, as they are naturally somewhat greasier. The small wax content makes it easier for hardwoods to absorb the Clear Wax. Due to its excellent water-repellent properties, it is also very suitable for treating wood in damp areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and swimming pools. After treatment, the hardwood oil protects against wear, dirt, and moisture and can be reapplied locally. Important: Always test the wood surface first to ensure the floor absorbs the product well and to determine the desired result. One liter is sufficient for approximately 24 m² with one coat; this depends greatly on the wood type.

Wooden Cutting Board Oil Osmo Cutting Board Oil is suitable for treating all types of wooden cutting boards. The oil is certified "Food Safe," meaning that once the oil has dried, it is safe to consume from the cutting board without any risk of harm. The ingredients of this product are based on natural plant oils and waxes and are therefore harmless to humans, animals, and plants after drying. Because the ingredients are natural, the treatment has an open-pore structure that allows the wood to breathe. The wood is not sealed after treatment. Osmo Netherlands Cutting Board Oil 3099 is colorless and dries matte. After treatment, the wood has a matte sheen, as if it had been wetted. This makes the wood's grain beautifully visible, and the color of the wood is deepened. After treating the wooden cutting board with the oil, it is protected against moisture such as water, fruit juice, cola, and coffee. Cleaning a wooden cutting board After using a wooden cutting board to cut meat, fish, or vegetables, it's always a good idea to clean it. Because Cutting Board Oil is resistant to water and chemicals, it can be cleaned with water and dish soap. Occasionally cleaning the cutting board with Spray Cleaner will nourish the treatment and the wood, preventing it from drying out. This is because Spray Cleaner contains oil-based soaps.

For wenge indoors, use Osmo Blanke Was or Osmo Hardwax-Olie Original, and Osmo TopOil on tabletops. Wenge is a very dark tropical wood with coarse pores, and an oil makes the surface dirt-repellent and easier to keep clean.
For a wenge floor, Blanke Was is often the best choice. It is made for oily tropical hardwoods such as wenge and merbau, which do not easily absorb an ordinary hardwax oil. If the wood does absorb Hardwax-Olie Original well, you can use that too, in two thin coats. Treat a wenge table or sideboard with TopOil, which is food-safe and resistant to coffee, wine and water. Apply TopOil to wenge by buffing, in thin coats with a pad or lint-free cloth.
On a wood as dark as wenge, a fully matt oil can leave a white haze in the pores. So with Hardwax-Olie Original, choose 3065 semi-matt or 3032 satin matt, not 3062 matt, and with TopOil choose 3028 satin matt. Products with white pigment are intended for light wood species. That way the deep, almost black colour stays even.
Without a finish, the coarse pores of wenge easily trap dust and dirt. Apply the oil thinly, work it well into the pores and buff away the excess after a few minutes with a lint-free cloth. That way no shiny patches or drips are left in the pores. Always test first on an offcut.
Mop a wenge floor with Wisch-Fix and refresh worn areas with the Vloeibare Onderhoudswas. Keep tables and furniture clean with the Spray-Cleaner.
