Oil for a wooden floor
Finish an indoor wooden floor with Osmo Hardwax-Olie Original. It combines natural oils and waxes, penetrates the wood and makes the surface hard-wearing, water-repellent and dirt-repellent. If scratches appear along the walkways, you can touch them up locally without sanding the whole floor.
Two thin coats
Apply Hardwax-Olie Original in two thin coats. The first coat penetrates the wood, the second hardens on the surface. Choose the sheen that suits your floor: 3032 satin matt, 3065 semi-matt or 3062 matt. On dark and tropical wood species, 3062 can leave a white haze. In a hurry? Then choose the faster-drying Hardwax-Olie Rapid.
Keeping it light or adding colour
Keep a light oak floor light with Hardwax-Olie Effect Natural 3041, finished with Hardwax-Olie Original. For colour and protection in one, choose Hardwax-Olie Farbig with a clear top coat. For extra grip, for example in a hallway, there is Hardwax-Olie Anti-Slip. For oak, also see oak indoors.
Underfloor heating
An oiled floor works well with underfloor heating. Do turn the heating down while applying and drying, and ventilate the room well. Read more in treating a wooden floor with underfloor heating.
Maintaining an oiled floor
Mop the floor with Wisch-Fix added to the mopping water. It cleans and leaves a thin layer of wax behind. Walkways that turn dull can be refreshed with the Vloeibare Onderhoudswas. Preferably avoid aggressive all-purpose cleaners, as they dry out the finish. If your floor continues onto the stairs, make sure the finishes match.
