How to clean and protect your wooden floors
– with Wood Floor Soap

Wash your oiled wooden floor with Wood Floor Soap for optimal protection and durability

It is important to point out that oiling a wooden floor is not the final step of the process, but the beginning. But worry not! We just think that washing and caring for your floor afterwards is at least as important.

Because the oil deeply penetrates the wood and leaves the wood’s pores open instead of building up an actual surface film, the surface needs to be regularly cleaned with a floor soap that has been specifically developed for use on oil-treated wood.

A soap with completely unique characteristics

Wood Floor Soap is a floor soap of good quality, which is specially developed to clean and protect oil-treated surfaces against dirt, stains and wear. Because the soap is “oily”, it effectively cleans the wood and leaves a microscopic layer of natural fatty acids, which protect the wood against most influences.

If you regularly wash your floor with Wood Floor Soap, the soap will continue to make your oiled wooden floor even more resistant to dirt and wear, and make it easier to keep clean. This is because the soap both nourishes and strengthens the actual oil on the floor, which helps to extend the lifespan of your floor for as long as possible.

  • Shake the container before use.
  • The soap is mixed with warm water. Dose as needed, see the instructions on the back of the packaging. For cleaning wooden surfaces: Use 125 ml. soap for 5 liters of water. For basic treatment (soap saturation) of untreated or lye-treated softwood: Use 1 liter of soap for 10 liters of water. Wash the floor 3 times over the first 2 days with this mixing ratio.
  • Wash the floor in the direction of the wood grain. It is beneficial to use 2 buckets, one for wringing out the mop and the other containing clean soapy water. No water should be left on the floor after washing. 

Note: Use a mop/cloth with a high cotton content. Do not use mops/cloths that contain 100% microfiber.

Note!

It is important that you follow the specified dilution ratio when mixing Wood Floor Soap with water. The soap is very oily, so if it is under-diluted, the floor will get a greasy surface that will absorb all kinds of dirt and grime. Therefore, you should avoid using the soap under-diluted at all costs, even if you might think you are doing your floor a favor. If you still find that your floor becomes greasy after washing with soap, simply wash the surface afterwards with clean, lukewarm water.
