It is important to allow the finish on your floor to fully cure; this can take up to 10 days after finishing. To achieve this we advise you do not wet the floor but simply sweep or vacuum.

Use a damp cloth to blot spills and spots as soon as they occur. Always avoid allowing liquids to stand on your floor.

Sweep, dust or vacuum the floor regularly with the hard floor attachment to prevent accumulation of dirt or grit that can scratch or dull the floor finish.

Weekly wipe the floor with a damp mop or cloth, micro fibre cloths and mops give the best
performance using the recommended cleaner for your floor.

Use protective mats- good quality entry and exit mats will help collect dirt, sand, grit and other substances that can damage your floor. Do not use rubber or foam backed plastic mats as these may discolour your floor. To prevent slippage use an approved vinyl rug underlay mat.

Use floor protectors on furniture- this will minimise indentations and scratches from heavy objects. As a rule, the heavier the object, the wider the floor protector should be. Avoid sharp or pointed objects from scratching your floor. Watch your pets feet- keep your pets nails trimmed to keep them from scratching the floor. Make sure that you do not use abrasive cleaners, steam or wet mop the floor as this may cause swelling, warping, delaminating, and joint separation.

Floors finished with traditional oils should be maintained by applying relevant care oil and the frequency will depend upon the environment and how often the floor is used. Use a Bona Mop, for example, which is easy to manoeuvre and has a swivel mop head with telescopic handle, the perfect maintenance tool.
