Ciranova Flooring Soap
Ciranova Flooring Soap is a universal parquet (wood floor) soap made from natural oils. It is designed for regular maintenance of oiled wooden floors, cleaning and nourishing the wood while enhancing water resistance.
What is Ciranova Flooring Soap?
This flooring soap is based on natural oils and waxes that clean, nourish and protect oiled wood. Unlike harsh detergents, it preserves the natural oils in the timber and provides extra water repellency. Available in convenient sizes, it is suitable for all oiled wood surfaces.
When to Use Ciranova Flooring Soap
Use this soap as part of your regular floor maintenance routine. For weekly or monthly cleaning of oiled wood floors, mix 4–5 caps with 10 litres of water. If your floor appears dull or has built‑up residue, first deep‑clean with Ciranova Intensive Cleaner, then reapply maintenance oil to replenish the finish.
How to Use Ciranova Flooring Soap
Preparation
Remove loose dirt and dust from your floor. For best results, use two buckets: one with the soap solution and another with clean rinse water.
Application
Shake the bottle, then mix 4–5 capfuls of soap with 10 litres of lukewarm water. Mop the solution along the direction of the wood grain using a mop that is not too wet. Wring out the mop frequently and rinse it in the second bucket of clean water. Avoid using excessive water, as too much moisture can wash away the protective oil layer and damage the floor.
Finishing & Maintenance
Let the floor dry for at least one hour. Regular use of Ciranova Flooring Soap helps build up a protective layer that repels dirt and moisture. For ongoing care, repeat this cleaning routine weekly or as required. When deeper cleaning is needed, use Ciranova Intensive Cleaner followed by maintenance oil to restore the finish.
