Question 1

What kind of look does Osmo Decorwas create?

Accepted Answer

This product can create either a wash or opaque effect. A wash effect primarily colors the wood grain. With an opaque effect, the wood grain is less visible after treatment, but the wood structure remains visible.

Question 2

What is the sheen level of Decorwas?

Accepted Answer

Decorwas dries to a satin finish. However, we always recommend applying colorless Hardwax-Olie over Decorwas for protection. This product is available in 4 sheen levels.

Question 3

How many coats should I apply?

Accepted Answer

For a wash effect, apply the Decorwas with one coat of polish. For a more opaque effect, apply a thin second coat of Decorwas with a microfibre roller or brush, as described in the 'Opaque effect' instructions. For long-lasting protection, apply clear Hardwax-Olie over the Decorwas. With one coat of Decorwas, we recommend applying two coats of Hardwax-Olie Original. With two coats of Decorwas, we recommend applying one coat of clear Hardwax-Olie.

Question 4

Why should I apply Hardwax-Olie Original over the Decorwas?

Accepted Answer

We recommend this because we believe that Decorwas alone doesn't provide sufficient protection against wear. Finishing with Hardwax-Olie will extend the life of your wooden surface. Over time, the surface will wear into the clear layer, making it easy to touch up with a clear product without causing any discoloration.

Question 5

How do I apply the Decorwas?

Accepted Answer

You can polish with a white pad in a circular motion. Then, within 20 minutes, remove the excess product with a fleece pad or Easy Pad Polishing Cloths, working along the plank and the wood grain. This prevents streaks. Read the instructions for the exact application steps.

Question 6

How much Decorwas should I apply?

Accepted Answer

The product has a coverage of 24m² per liter. You can calculate how much Decorwas you need with the handy consumption meter.

Question 7

What is the drying time for the Decorwas?

Accepted Answer

Approximately 24 hours at approximately 20°C and 50% relative humidity. At lower temperatures or higher humidity, drying takes longer. The product must dry naturally. Therefore, ensure good ventilation at all times, so make sure to open windows and doors after treatment.

Question 8

On which surfaces can Decorwas be applied?

Accepted Answer

Decorwas Creativ can be applied to furniture, interior doors, window frames, walls, ceilings, stairs and toys indoors. On floors we recommend a maximum of one coloured coat (wash effect), always finished with Hardwax-Olie Original; we do not recommend an opaque finish on floors. For countertops and worktops we recommend Osmo TopOil.

Question 9

How do I maintain a surface treated with Decorwas?

Accepted Answer

A surface treated with Decorwas also requires maintenance. To clean a floor treated with Decorwas, use Osmo Wisch-Fix. To clean furniture surfaces, use Osmo Spray-Cleaner. Both products contain a small amount of wax, which also prevents the floor from drying out. The Vloeibare Onderhoudswas can be used on worn areas in high-traffic areas. With these products, you can enjoy your treated wood for longer.

Question 10

Can the Decorwas be applied over another brand?

Accepted Answer

If it's an oil product, this is usually possible. However, this should always be tested first. If the surface is currently treated with a lacquer or wax, it should be sanded bare before applying Hardwax-Olie. However, this is not our recommendation. If you want to apply Osmo over another brand, it's recommended to use a colorless version of Hardwax-Olie or Onderhoudsolie.

Question 11

Why should I test the product?

Accepted Answer

Each wood type and surface absorbs Osmo differently, and a test gives you a clear idea of ​​how the wood will react to the product. You'll also immediately see whether the product delivers the desired results. Test packs are available for all basic treatments.

Question 12

How do I perform a test?

Accepted Answer

After applying the product and allowing it to dry for the specified time, you can check whether the Osmo has adhered properly. You can check this by first dropping a few drops of water onto the surface. If these drops are still there after a few hours, then it is well protected. The second test is performed with your fingernail. Scratch the surface firmly with your fingernail. If no Osmo comes loose from the surface, the product has adhered properly.

Question 13

Can Decorwas be applied to all types of wood?

Accepted Answer

This product is suitable for most European wood species, such as oak, pine, spruce, ash and birch. Not suitable for cherry, olive and bamboo. For dark and extractive-rich hardwoods such as wenge, mahogany or merbau we recommend Osmo Blanke Was.

Question 14

Why do cloths saturated with Osmo need to be rinsed?

Accepted Answer

Cloths used for applying or polishing Osmo must be rinsed with water because they pose a risk of spontaneous combustion. Therefore, always rinse cloths with water before disposing of them in the trash.

Question 15

Can I mix the colors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. It's wise to stick to the same product type, so mix the Osmo Decorwas with the Decorwas. This allows you to create many more different colors.

Question 16

Can I also treat MDF, veneer, and OSB?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all these surfaces can be treated with Decorwas.

Question 17

Can I also touch up spots?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for localized scratches or worn areas, you can tape off the affected plank and sand it with 120 grit. Then check if the plank is even. If so, you can apply a new coat of Hardwax-Olie Original. Some color may also be sanded away. Apply another coat of Decorwas with a lint-free cloth and then buff away the excess product for 20 minutes, working in the direction of the wood grain. The top coat can then be treated with Hardwax-Olie Original. If the plank requires a coarser sanding, you can do so first with 40 grit, then 80 grit, and finish with 120 grit. Then, apply a coat of Decorwas and the second coat of Hardwax-Olie Original.

Question 18

How do I clean brushes, pads, and rollers?

Accepted Answer

You can do this with Osmo Kwastenreiniger. Place the Kwastenreiniger in a small container or cup. Let the brushes soak for a few hours and then rinse the tools with water. Dry the tools afterwards and store them in a dry place. Cleaning brushes and other application tools with turpentine is also an option. Place the turpentine in a small container and let the brushes soak for a few hours. Then rinse the brushes and dry them with a clean cloth.

Question 19

When can floors treated with Osmo Decorwas be accessed again, and when can I put my furniture back in the room?

Accepted Answer

Newly treated surfaces can be accessed after the Decorwas has dried for approximately 24 hours. Furniture with legs that allow air to circulate underneath can also be put back after approximately 24 hours. Items that do not allow air to circulate underneath, such as rugs, should not be placed on the floor for two weeks until the Hardwax-Olie has fully cured.
