Maintaining a Floor

Although a solid hardwood floor is extremely hardwearing the surface finish needs to be maintained to keep it looking beautiful. British Hardwoods supply various maintenance products depending upon the floor finish.

For any floor a three-headed mop set is available to dust, wash and polish the floor.

Oiled Floors

A detergent is available which, when mixed with water will clean the floor without stripping off the surface wax coating. Also available is Liquid Wax Cleaner, which will remove stubborn stains and can also be used to revitalise and polish up the floor.

The beauty about the hardwax oil is that if an area becomes worn or damaged it can be cleaned down with liquid wax and more hardwax applied to the area, which will blend into the rest of the floor finish.

Do not be tempted to over apply hardwax oil. Two or possibly three coats is sufficient.

Lacquered Floors

Again, both detergents and polishes are available for maintaining a lacquered floor.

Unlike an oiled floor, if a lacquered floor gets scratched or worn then it will need to be sanded all over and another coat of lacquer applied to the full surface as it is not possible to re-apply lacquer to a localised area effectively.
