Properly maintained a floor finished with
OSMO Polyx oil
can last a lifetime, and is simple to refinish if needed. Below you will find maintenance instructions and information on which product to use
when.
Clean the floor as needed
Vacuum, sweep or dust regularly to remove grit. Dust the floor using the Opti-Set with the green Dust-Mop attachment.
Damp mop as needed using Wash and Care and the Opti-Set with the Micro-mop plush (white fluffy pad) attachment.
Refreshing/Repairing the finish as needed.
Dull marks and traffic patterns in high use area's are normal in a floor with wax as part of the finish and can be easily refreshed. In order to refresh high use areas, such as entry and door ways, clean the surface thoroughly and allow to dry, then
use liquid wax cleaner to spot restore sheen every 3-4 months or as needed. Attach the Active fibre cloth to the Opti-Set and apply a small amount of OSMO Liquid Wax Cleaner to the cloth. Rub this into the surface. Allow to dry for 30 to 60 minutes, until the material dries to a haze. Buff lightly with a soft cotton cloth (you can use either Active fibre cloth or the Micro-mop plush for this light buffing)
To repair superficial scratches, stains or ground-in dirt, use a white abrasive pad or 000 steel wool to rub a small amount of liquid wax cleaner into the affected area. Wipe up immediately with a cotton cloth to remove residue so that no excess material is left on the repair area.
Wash and Care is made with soaps based on coconut oils (5 to 15 percent), plus anionic and nonionic surfactants
(each 1 to 5 percent). Surfactants are cleaning agents that help dislodge stubborn dirt and grime by allowing
water molecules to link up with contaminants on a surface. The anionic surfactants have a negative charge; the
nonionic surfactants have none. The surfactants in Wash and Care are modified fatty acids of natural vegetable oils.
They are not phthalates or other ingredients that can interfere with hormone activity in people or wildlife.
Liquid Wax Cleaner contains carnauba and candillila wax, the same two natural waxes used in Polyx-Oil. These are both
plant-based waxes that regrow rapidly. Liquid Wax Cleaner also contains medical-quality paraffins and odor-free mineral
spirits , both of which are petroleum products. See our Thinners section for more information about mineral spirits.
The cleaner does not include biocides or preservatives.
