Treatex^® Hardwax Oil Traditional Cleaning and Maintenance

It is very important to keep your floor clean - the result of people walking on a dirty and dusty floor is no different to a high-powered sander at work! Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a soft floor attachment to keep your floor free from abrasive particles. A good doormat will help. To protect your floor we recommend all furniture be fitted with felt pads.

When your floor gets dirty wash using Treatex^® Floor Care, which is designed to clean and maintain floors finished with Treatex^® Hardwax Oil Traditional without making the surface slippery. Treatex^® Floor Care contains vegetable oils and carnauba wax, this means that as the floor is cleaned a thin replenishing and protective layer of wax is also applied. Treatex^® Floor Care has a neutral PH value and contains no solvents, other brands of cleaning products may contain detergents that could damage your floor. For normal soiling dilute 25-50 ml of Treatex^® Floor Care in 5 litres of water.  Mop the surface with this solution ensuring that the mop is only damp and never wet. Treatex^® Floor Care can be applied using a mop or slow buffing machine with a white pad. Treatex^® Floor Care is now available in a convenient ready to use spray.

Areas of high wear can be renovated using Treatex^® Refreshment Cleaner and Treatex^® Wax Polish. Treatex^® Refreshment Cleaner is an aggressive cleaner which prepares surfaces for refinishing and Treatex^® Wax Polish is a diluted version of Treatex^® Hardwax Oil Traditional. Begin by diluting Treatex^® Refreshment Cleaner in water at a ratio of 1:100 (50 ml to 5 litres of water).  Mop the surface with this solution, ensuring that the mop is only damp and never wet, and leave to dry for approximately 3 hours. Once dry, apply Treatex^® Wax Polish to a small area at a time, either by wiping on a thin coat using a lint free cloth - taking care not to leave cloth marks, or by buffing using a white pad under a slow machine ensuring the surface is buffed until there are no swirl marks. Allow to dry for three to four hours. For areas of very high wear a thin coat of Treatex^® Hardwax Oil Traditional can be applied instead of Treatex^® Wax Polish to surfaces cleaned with Treatex^® Refreshment Cleaner.

Traetex^® Floor Care and Treatex^® Wax Polish are both included in our cleaning and maintenance kits alongside a lightly abrasive pad for removing stubborn stains.
