General Information
For reasons of environmental safeness and ease of restoration wooden floors should not be "sealed". Even though the hardness of two component synthetic coatings can not be achieved with natural coatings, synthetic coatings are also not entirely safe from scratching and wear and can only be repaired by complete removal and recoating.
Natural coatings have the added advantage not to contain any ingredients, which could cause harmful emissions, like formaldehyde or aromatic solvents, which could increase the risk of cancer. |

Surface Preparation |
 |
Clean surface and sand wood to a fine, smooth finish using grit i.e.100, preferably finer. Crevices or wood defects can be filled mixing wood dust from the sanding with some ProNature Floor. Fill crevices and allow to dry for 24 h before sanding. Surface must be dry, clean and dust-free. |
|
Application |
Stir material well before application. ProNature Floor is applied liberally using a brush or short bristle paint roller until saturation is reached. In order to avoid glossy spots and prolonged drying it is important to remove and dry off any excess thoroughly that has not been absorbed after about 15 min using a lint-free cloth or a floor polishing machine leaving a surface dry to the touch. Leave to dry for 12 hrs.
A light sanding after drying is recommended using a floor polishing machine with medium coarse pad or sanding paper grit 220. Then thinly apply second coat of ProNature Floor. Remove any excess thoroughly that has not been absorbed directly after application using a lint-free cloth or a floor polishing machine (soft pad) leaving a surface dry to the touch. Allow drying for a minimum of 12 hrs. If a third coat is desired, proceed as described under step 2 above.
 Cold weather and high humidity will retard the drying. |

Care and Repair
|
|
The durability of an oiled wooden floor highly depends on regular cleaning and care. For the first two weeks floors should not be cleaned wet but only swept. Thereafter floors are cleaned with a neutral soap solution and wiped with a damp cloth only. ProNature Floor should receive aftercare with ProNature Floor Care Oil or ProNature Wax Balm in regular intervals at least three times a year. Apply sparingly and polish after a drying time of approx. 1hr.
ProNature Floor is spot repairable and should small damages from wear or scratching occur just clean the area thoroughly using ProNature Plant Turpentine where necessary, and sand concerned area lightly with steel wool or fine scouring pad. Remove dust and apply a thin layer of ProNature Floor with a soft cloth. Remove excess and leave to dry for approx. 12 hrs. The treated area should not be walked on for 48 hours. |
