Bathroom Floor - Natural + 2 Coats of Clear Matt
Whether used in furniture or flooring, hardwood materials can provide a classic, timeless, and practical option for your home or garden. One of the most commonly asked questions with regard to hardwood products is ‘how can the finish be maintained long term?’ especially when products are used regularly and are victim to subsequent wear and tear.
Whilst the appearance of wood products will change and gain character with time, wood finish products can help ensure that wear and tear will not occur to the same extent. In addition to wood oil finishes, there are a number of cleaning and maintenance steps that can be taken to ensure a long-lasting, high-quality finish.
Keep reading to discover some of the key steps involved in cleaning and maintaining hardwood surfaces.
Applying A Finish
The first step in ensuring that the natural beauty of a hardwood floor is maintained is applying a treatment suitable for the type of wood in question. There are a number of oil finishes available, with suitability depending primarily on the desired result and the type of wood the finish is being applied to. It is important that the oil can be absorbed into the material, providing benefits relating to structural integrity as well as the aesthetic appeal of the flooring.
Wood oils are not only suitable for brand new flooring; they can also be applied to older hardwood surfaces in order to rejuvenate them and restore their beauty. Treatex’s clear and natural hard-wax oil finish options contain no preservatives or biocides and provide a long-lasting finish. This means that the natural beauty of wood products can be maintained cost-effectively over a long period of time.
Cleaning And Maintenance Products
For the best results, it is important to use specialist products in the cleaning and maintenance of hardwood surfaces. When used alongside an oil finish floor cleaners, floor care products and wax polishes can all add significant value as part of a long-term approach to cleaning and maintaining wood floors. Once a high-quality finish has been applied to a wood surface, steps must be taken to ensure that any spills are quickly cleaned up and avoid using bleach products that can have a significant long-term disadvantage on hardwood floors.
Hardwood Floor Care
In order to maintain the quality of hardwood floors that are heavily used, a specialist plan for maintenance and cleaning can be required. The specific steps will differ depending on the hardwood materials. Some common steps in hardwood floor care can include regular vacuuming, dusting, sweeping and removing any dirt that could lead to scratches on the surface.
