Ciranova Floor Soap: an everyday cleaner for oiled floors
Ciranova Floor Soap is one of the gentler everyday cleaners for an oiled timber floor. Here is what it is, which floors it suits, and how it sits next to our own concentrate.
Ciranova Floor Soap is a Belgian concentrated soap made for oiled and waxed timber. You dilute it in water and mop with a well-wrung mop. On a lacquered floor you do not need a soap, a plain pH-neutral cleaner is simpler.

What Ciranova Floor Soap is
Ciranova is a Belgian floor-care maker, and its Floor Soap is a concentrated soap made for oiled and waxed timber. You dilute it in water and mop as usual, so a bottle goes a long way. It is a maintenance cleaner, not a stripper, so it cleans the surface without lifting the oil underneath.

Which floors it suits
Floor Soap is at its best on oiled and waxed timber, where a gentle, oil-friendly cleaner is what you want day to day. On a lacquered or sealed floor you do not need a soap, a plain pH-neutral wood-floor cleaner is the simpler choice.
How to use it
Follow the dose on the Ciranova label, mix it into water, and mop with a well-wrung mop so the floor is barely damp. As with any timber floor, keep the water to a minimum and let it dry. Every so often an oiled floor also wants a maintenance-oil top-up in the busy areas.
How it compares to our own concentrate
Our own FirstFloor Wood Floor Cleaner Concentrate does the same everyday job and suits both oiled and lacquered floors, so it is the simpler pick if you want one cleaner for the whole house. Ciranova Floor Soap is the choice if you specifically want a soap for an oiled or waxed floor. Both are concentrates, so both go a long way.
Common questions
Is Ciranova Floor Soap only for oiled floors?
It is made for oiled and waxed timber, where a gentle soap suits the surface. On a lacquered floor a plain pH-neutral cleaner is all you need.
How much do I use?
Follow the dose printed on the Ciranova label and mix it into water. Because it is concentrated, a little goes a long way.
Can I use it with a spray mop?
A spray mop suits a ready-to-use cleaner. Floor Soap is diluted in a bucket and applied with a well-wrung mop, so it is a mop-and-bucket job rather than a spray.
Should I still oil the floor if I use Floor Soap?
Yes. A soap cleans the surface, it does not feed the timber. An oiled floor still wants a maintenance-oil top-up in the busy areas now and then.
