                                            Woca Maintenance Oil

Maintain an oiled wooden floor by using these natural Woca Oils from Denmark after preparation by wet cleaning with intensive wood cleaner. Sanding or scraping is not normally required. Only a small quantity of oil is needed to smooth loose wood fibres and repair any wear to the protective finish. Hence, this oil has a low viscosity to allow a very thin application. Maintenance is necessary when the floor has become worn. Maintenance Oil is also used during the commercial application of Master Oil, or to thin Master or Colour Oil for manual application.

Use White Maintenance Oil when re-oiling white oiled floors. If a white oiled floor has been damaged or sanded then touch-up the area with Colour Oil 188, extra white. Factory white-oiled floors can often be whiter than your repaired spot. If so do not repair with oil, but White Soap concentrate.

Usage Guide

Before a new floor is taken into use it is recommended to buff it – both industrially oiled floors and residentially oiled floors. The final buffing provides a hard-wearing surface and may take place either by hand or with machine. Oiled floors should be maintened regularly – normally once a year, but more often when it comes to floors exposed to extremely hard wear.

1. Clean the floor with 125 ml Wood Cleaner mixed into 5l water. Leave the floor to dry for at least 8 hours. The floor must be completely dry.
2. Shake the container carefully. Apply approx. 100 ml oil per 4 m² with pad, paint roller, cotton cloth or use polishing machine for large surfaces.
3. It is important that the Maintenance Oil is carefully polished into the wood. Continue polishing until the wood appears saturated and the surface looks uniform.

Wipe the floor with clean, dry cotton cloths before proceeding with the next section of floor to be finished. The floor should not appear wet and there should not be any excess oil left on the surface after polishing. Continue in sections untill the floor has been finished. When polished with polishing machine the floor will be pre-hardened after approx. 4 hours at 20° C and may cautiously be taken into use. Manually polished floors may be taken into use after 24 hours. The surface is fully hardened after 24 hours. Do not expose the floor to water during the hardening time.
