Oiled floor care
An oiled floor is topped up, not stripped back.
Everything below suits oiled timber. Start with the concentrate for everyday cleaning, add maintenance oil when the floor needs feeding.

Re-oiling your floor? Hire the floor machine

Before you buy: how to look after an oiled floor
Two jobs, different rhythms. Day to day, clean with a well-wrung mop and an oiled-floor cleaner. Skip anything harsh or high-alkaline, and skip steam mops, which force water and heat into the timber. Then every so often, when the floor starts to look dry or patchy in the busy spots, you top it up with maintenance oil rather than recoating the whole thing. Most homes re-oil high-traffic areas once or twice a year and give the whole floor a professional re-oil every 5 to 10 years, depending on wear.
