Water stains appear when water damages the protective layer and stays on the wood for too long. Use Osmo Intensiefreiniger to clean the spot and, once it has dried, apply Osmo Onderhoudsolie for renewed protection.

How do water stains appear on a wooden floor?

If you leave water standing on your wooden floor, it can damage the protective layer. If the surface is not properly protected and the water stays there too long, it can leave a ring or a black stain on your floor. Do you have a light stain or ring on your wooden floor that you want to remove? Then try removing it with Osmo Intensiefreiniger.

Step-by-step plan: removing a water stain from your wooden floor

Preparation

Before you start removing the water stain from your floor, dry-clean the surface with a dust cloth or vacuum cleaner. This removes coarse dirt and dust from the surface so they cannot leave new stains.

Dilute the Intensiefreiniger

Prepare the Intensiefreiniger. Concentrate: dilute 1:10 to 1:20 with water.

Scrub in the Intensiefreiniger with the green pad

Apply the cleaner to the water stain in your floor using the Hand Pad Holder with a small green pad. The coarse, hard structure of this pad ensures optimal cleaning.

Mop afterwards with water

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

Oiling

Once the surface has dried completely, treat the cleaned area with Osmo Onderhoudsolie. Apply it with the white pad and buff it in with the fleece pad. Always work in the direction of the wood grain.
