Where to use ProNature Floor Care Oil? |
For the periodic maintenance of wooden floors treated with ProNature Floor. Also suitable for previously varnished wooden floors, provided they were not waxed.

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 |
 |
Remove grit, dust and other loose dirt. Clean the floor with a neutral soap solution and well wrung out scouring cloth. Alternatively a cleaning machine with the least amount of water possible may be used. Wipe dry immediately. |
|
Application |
Moisten cloth with ProNature Floor Care Oil and apply sparingly until the whole floor is covered. Alternatively can the material be applied securing the moist cloth to a dry circular pad of a floor polisher (150 rpm). Continuously add more ProNature Floor Care Oil so that the entire floor is covered with oil. In order to avoid glossy spots and prolonged drying it is important to remove and dry off any excess that has not been absorbed thoroughly after about 15 min using a lint-free cloth or a floor polishing machine (soft pad). Leave to dry for 1-2 hours and then dry polish with soft pad or lint-free cloth in direction of the grain (300 rpm). Allow drying for a minimum of 12 hrs. If a second coat is desired repeat above described procedure.
If the floor is very soiled the first application of ProNature Floor Care Oil should be more liberal approx. 1 litre to 15 m². Then work crosswise with a red or green pad (150 rpm) removing all stubborn dirt. Remove surplus after about 15 min using a lint-free cloth or a floor-polishing machine (soft pad) and then continue as described above. The best results are achieved if the floor is left unused for 12 hours. However, the floor can be walked on after only 2-3 hours.
 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. Avoid standing water! ProNature Floor Care Oil should be applied in regular intervals at least three times a year. Apply sparingly and polish after a drying time of approx. 1hr. |
