Osmo Onderhoudsolie
While Osmo Vloeibare Onderhoudswas is suitable for refreshing worn areas, Osmo Onderhoudsolie is specifically designed to provide the entire surface with a new protective layer.

When the surface is suffering from such severe wear that Osmo Vloeibare Onderhoudswas can no longer repair it, switch to Osmo Onderhoudsolie.

For example, if you have a wooden floor that has been treated with Hardwax-Olie 3032 Silk Matt and you prefer a matte appearance, you can treat the floor with the Onderhoudsolie Matt.
