We\u2019ve often asked for advice on cleaning wood floors.  There are two golden rules \u2013 use the correct product and don\u2019t use too much water!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wood is hygroscopic, which means that it will absorb water.  So, when you\u2019re cleaning it\u2019s important to using a well-wrung mop or cloth and to only dampen the surface slightly.  (As a benchmark, the film of water should dry within a minute.)  Some wood species are more sensitive to moisture than others, like hard maple and beech, so take extra care with these!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to choose the right pH-neutral cleaning product<\/strong>.  Avoid abrasive and harsh cleaners, as well as polishes that will leave a slippery film.<\/p>\n

For best results, we recommend FILACLEANER<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.  Just dilute \u2013 1:200 \u2013 using clean, luke-warm water.  Mop the surface and leave to dry; no rinsing\u2019s required!<\/p>\n

2.  For very dirty floors, increase the dilution to about 1:30 – 1:50.  Wipe the floor after the initial mop to remove any residue and then rinse with clean water.<\/p>\n

For a fast clean, without water, try FILAPARQUET NET<\/a>.<\/strong>  It’s a spray detergent for wood floors with a lacquer and<\/em> oil pre-finishes.<\/p>\n

1.  Just spray onto a clean, damp cloth and wipe the surface.  It dries really quickly and there’s no need to rinse!  Great for spot cleaning, when you’re in a hurry!<\/p>\n
