Tips: removing candle wax from your wooden floor

Before you begin any form of liquid cleaning, it is important to carefully remove the solidified candle wax. Use a plastic card for this, such as an old bank card or a membership card. Gently scrape away the candle wax without damaging the wood. The goal is to remove as much candle wax as possible without leaving scratches on the wood surface.

After you have removed the majority of the candle wax, it is time for a thorough cleaning. The Osmo Spray-Cleaner is perfect for this. Not only does this cleaning agent easily remove candle wax from your wooden floor, but it also contains a small amount of wax. This ensures that the wood is nourished and does not dry out during cleaning.

1. Before cleaning, it is important that crumbs and the easily removable candle wax are removed from the wooden floor.

2. Spray the Spray-Cleaner onto the wooden floor. The product does not need to be diluted with water. 3. Clean the surface with the Easy Pad Polishing Cloths and dry it with a lint-free cotton cloth.

Tips for stubborn candle wax stains on your wooden floor

If candle wax stains have penetrated too deeply into your wooden floor and cannot be completely removed with the Spray Cleaner, then it is time for heavier artillery: the Osmo Intensive Cleaner. If you cannot remove the candle wax, this is often a sign that the protective layer of your wooden floor is no longer optimal.

1. Before cleaning, dry clean the surface with a dust cloth or vacuum cleaner.

2. Prepare the cleaning agent. Concentrate: dilute with water 1:10 to 1:20.

3. Apply the cleaner to the surface using the Green pad. Thanks to its coarse and hard structure, this pad ensures optimal cleaning.

4. Remove the loosened dirt and then wipe the surface with a damp cloth.

5. After successful drying, treat the cleaned surface with Osmo Maintenance Oil.

Maintenance after cleaning

After thoroughly cleaning your wooden floor, it is essential to restore the protection. Apply Osmo Maintenance Oil to nourish your table and protect it against future (candle wax) stains. This helps preserve the natural beauty of the wood and extends the lifespan of your floor.
