Oil finished Acrylic Impregnated floors are best maintained using a special oil renovation program as specified by the floor manufacturer. This will usually consist of a re-oiling and buffing of the floor. Our recommendation is employ a professional to do this work. Call us for more information.
Preventative maintenance:
- Preventative maintenance is most effective.
- Dust mop regularly.
- Use protective mats in front of doorways, sinks, reception desks, checkout counters and other high traffic areas to minimize dirt build up.
- Use felt protectors under furniture legs, don't drag furniture back and forth.
- Avoid overflow when watering houseplants, and use plant stands to raise the bottom of the pots off the surface of the floor to avoid condensation beneath.
Cleaning:
- Sweep and vacuum (with a soft bristle head) regularly to keep the surface free from dust, grit, sand and abrasive particles.
- Wipe up spills locally with a damp rag (not dripping wet ).
- Keep the floor dry to avoid water damage.
- Never wash with a wet mop.
- Re-oil the floor periodically as necessary, in strict accordance with the oil manufacturer's instructions.
- Employ a professional for this type of floor cleaning.
DO NOT:
Do not use soaps, strong detergents, waxes, scrubbing machines, oil treated mops or sweeping compounds as they will eventually damage the finish and the wood.
