Surface preparation

• Original Wood Environment Maintenance Oil is specially designed to maintain parquet and wood floors treated with Original Wood Environment.
• Original Wood Environment Maintenance Oil should be applied on a clean, dry floor: sweep or vacuum the floor to remove all traces of dust before applying.
• Small stains and marks can be easily removed with Blanchon Natural Soap for Oiled Wood Floors or Lagoon (using a well wrung-out cloth or mop, never a soaking wet one). Important: wait 7 to 10 days before applying for the first time to give the Original Wood Environment time to harden fully.
• Stubborn dirt, stains or scratches can be removed by fine sanding. Original Wood Environment should then be re-applied to this area. Important: maintaining wood treated with stained Original Wood Environment (or previously stained) requires particular care to avoid changes in the shade.

Directions for use

• Original Wood Environment Maintenance Oil should be applied as soon as the wood floor impregnated with Original Wood Environment loses its natural finish (normal wear and tear, minor scratches, etc).
• Ready to use: do not dilute. Shake well before and during use. Do not apply if the temperature is below 12°C. Use only in well ventilated areas. Keep any aquariums and plants away from the environment where the product is being applied.
• Perfect adhesion on clean, dust-free, dry wood oiled with Original Wood Environment (cleaned with Natural Soap For Oiled Wood Floors or Lagoon Cleaner using a well wrung-out mop or cloth (refer to Surface preparation above).
• Apply a thin coat of Original Wood Environment Maintenance Oil with a microfibre-type mop (or, failing this, with a fine, clean cotton cloth) onto a clean, dry surface (a spray may be used and the floor immediately wiped with the micro-fibre). Small, localised areas can be touched up using a cotton cloth to apply and polish. The product spreads immediately and does not have to be worked for a long time. The use of a machine (buffing machine with 3 rotating brushes or heavy duty buffing machine with a beige pad) is neither necessary nor recommended.
• Dries within around 30 minutes. The floor can then be used as normal.
• Frequency: whenever the wood floor loses its beautiful finish or generally once or twice a month under normal conditions of use.
• On high-traffic wood floors, regular maintenance can be reinforced by applying a general coat of Original Wood Environment.
• The more often Original Wood Environment Maintenance Oil is used, the easier maintenance becomes.

Cleaning of tools

Clean tools immediately after use with water. Do not reuse containers.

Protecting the environment

• Wring out cloths and wipe tools thoroughly after application.
• Rinse with a little water in a container and allow the water to evaporate.
• The dry residue can normally be discarded in the waste bin.
• Seal the container properly after use.
• Dispose of empty containers thoughtfully.
• Do not discharge into drains.

Drying times

• Dust free: around 5 minutes.
• Light traffic: 30 minutes under normal conditions. Take reasonable precautions during the first hour following application.
• Protect the floor using felt pads underneath table and chair legs. If necessary, a good quality mat placed at the entrance will retain dust and grit. Wipe down any water or other liquid spillages immediately and take particular care with flower pots. Do not move heavy furniture around. Remove dust with a vacuum or broom: do not use impregnated fabrics.
