Best Wood Flooring Cleaning Products

October 24, 2014

When you invest in a new wood floor, you’ve made a good decision. To make sure that your decision stays good in the long term relies on the correct maintenance. There is no escaping the fact that a wood floor that’s well looked after will stay good looking for longer. So what do you need to think about when cleaning your wood floor?

The first thing to be aware of is that prevention is better than cure when it comes to wood floor maintenance. While most wear and tear can be repaired on a quality wood floor, it’s true that a little regular maintenance will save you having to heavily invest in maintenance in the future.

Here are our Top 3 Prevention Tips:

1. Invest in a good doormat. Most of the foreign objects that damage your floor come in on shoes. There’s a great argument for investing in a high quality doormat and making sure people use it. Ideally you should have a scrubbing doormat outside and an absorbing doormat inside. This way, you’ll get optimum removal of dirt, dust and grime.

2. Vacuum and mop with a moist mop regularly. A quick daily sweep or vacuum around your home will pay major dividends when it comes to damage to your floor. Picking up the dirt and dust that escapes your doormats is a quick and easy job and will protect your floor from unnecessary damage. Once you’re finished with sweeping and vacuuming, pass over the floor with a damp (not wet) mop if you need to.

3. Tackle spills and stains as soon as humanly possible. It’s well worth being vigilant when it comes to spills and stains. Mopping up a spill as soon as you can will prevent your floor from developing a stain.

When it comes to more drastic cleaning of your wood floor, there are literally dozens of products on the market. Some of the names you’ll hear most often are: Bona, Kahrs, Osmo, Junckers, Marldon, Morrells, Lecol, Treatex, W.O.C.A, Ronseal and Sika as well as many more products, some of which might only be available on a trade basis. So, if you decide that you want to give your wood floor a really deep clean, which wood floor cleaning product might work best for you?

Blanchon Natural Soap For Oiled Floors

Ideal for cleaning Natural and UV Oiled floors. Based on vegetable ingredients and enriched with natural oils, Natural Soap is powerful and completely safe with a fresh fragrance. It preserves and enhances the natural-looking finish of an oiled floor.

Natural Soap for Oiled Floors should simply be diluted (125ml to 5 litres of water) and applied with a damp floorcloth, micro-fibre mop or sponge mop: mops or cloths should be well wrung out to avoid getting the wood floor too wet. Rinse the mop or cloth regularly during cleaning.
