Maintaining an oak wooden floor

You can maintain your floor very easily after it has been treated with an Osmo product. If the floor has light wear spots, you can use Osmo Vloeibare Onderhoudswas. This allows you to touch up localized wear spots.

If you have worn through the first protective layer, you can use Osmo Onderhoudsolie to apply a new protective layer.

With both maintenance treatments, you do not need to sand first, which is a major advantage.

Cleaning an oak wooden floor

You can easily keep your oak wooden floor clean by using Osmo Wisch-Fix. We recommend cleaning the entire floor with Osmo Wisch-Fix once every one to two weeks. It cares for and cleans the wooden oak floor.

Before applying the Wisch-Fix, first ensure that you remove all coarse dirt; after that, you can mop. Do not mop the wood too wet, and ensure that the floor is dried after mopping.
