Maintaining your parquet floor is vital for extending its lifespan and keeping it looking its best over the years. The choice of maintenance product depends mainly on the floor’s original finish: oil or sealer. Each maintenance method has specific advantages that help to protect and enhance the wood.
For oiled parquet floors, the use of a maintenance oil is strongly recommended. This oil penetrates deep into the wood fibres, providing the nutrients needed to preserve its vitality. As well as nourishing the wood, it forms a protective barrier against moisture, scratches and stains, whilst retaining the wood’s natural, warm appearance. Applied regularly, it ensures a long-lasting finish and enhanced resistance to external damage.
For varnished or oil-finished parquet floors, it is best to use a specialised maintenance soap. Formulated to suit the type of finish applied, this soap gently cleans the surface whilst preserving the protective layer. It effectively removes impurities and maintains the floor’s lustre without compromising its original protection.
Carefully following the manufacturer’s recommendations ensures optimal compatibility between the chosen cleaning product and the floor’s finish. By following these guidelines, it is possible to maintain a floor that is elegant, healthy and durable – a true asset of comfort and charm for any interior.
