FLOOR CARE

Product catalog summary
Overview
This document provides detailed guidance on the protection, cleaning, care, and renovation of wooden flooring using Osmo products. It highlights the natural beauty and durability of wood, aiming to maintain its aesthetic appeal over time.

Contents
The document is organized into several key sections:
  • Hardener/Wood Putty
  • Floor Preparation
  • Clear Finishes
  • Coloured Finishes
  • Care & Cleaning
  • Tools/Accessories


Floor Preparation
Proper sanding is essential for optimal results, involving multiple steps with varying sandpaper grits from coarse to fine. This ensures a smooth surface ready for oil application, with special attention to damaged or previously lacquered floors.

Clear Finishes
Osmo offers Polyx®-Oil products that protect wooden floors while preserving their natural look. These oils penetrate the wood for internal protection, while waxes provide an elastic, breathable surface. Key products include Polyx®-Oil Original, Anti-Slip, Rapid/Express, 2K Pure, and Effect Natural, each with specific properties and application methods.

Coloured Finishes
Osmo provides tinted oils and stains to enhance the aesthetic of wooden floors, allowing for creative expression while maintaining the wood's natural grain. The application involves applying tinted oil followed by a clear coat for protection.

Care & Cleaning
Maintenance is facilitated by products like Maintenance Oil, Liquid Wax Cleaner, and Intensive Cleaner. Regular care ensures longevity and preserves the floor's appearance.

Tools/Accessories
A range of tools and accessories are recommended for the application and maintenance of Osmo products, including brushes, rollers, and cleaning kits.

Application Procedures
Initial coat on sanded wood requires approximately 30 ml/m², with corrections possible within 30 minutes. Drying time is about 24 hours under normal conditions. A second coat requires approximately 35 ml/m² of clear Polyx®-Oil, with a drying time of 8-10 hours.

Product Properties
Oil Stain provides transparent or intensive color for wooden surfaces. A single coat offers a transparent color, while a second coat intensifies it. A top coat with Polyx®-Oil is necessary to protect the pigments.

Advantages
- Attractive color tones, both transparent and intensive.
- Easy application with scraper, roller, or brush.
- Natural oil-based finish.

Manual Processing
For transparent color, apply thinly along the wood grain and rub evenly with a white pad. For intensive color, apply a second thin coat and finish with a clear Osmo Polyx®-Oil top coat.

Polyx®-Oil Effect
Available in Silver and Gold, this oil provides a subtle metallic effect, enhancing the natural wood character and is resistant to various substances.

Wood Wax Finish
Contains more pigments than Polyx®-Oil Tints and can be mixed with Polyx®-Oil Original for subtle colors. A clear Polyx®-Oil coat is necessary to protect the pigments.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning with Osmo Wash and Care is recommended. For refreshing, use Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner or Maintenance Oil. Re-oiling with Polyx®-Oil is necessary when wear is visible, but spot repairs are possible without refinishing the entire area.

Cleaning and Care
Dusting and regular mopping are essential. Use Osmo Cleaning Kit for Floors for easy maintenance. Intensive cleaning and refreshing can be done with Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner or Maintenance Oil, especially in high traffic areas.

Product Overview and Specifications
Osmo offers a range of products for the maintenance and care of wooden flooring, including Liquid Wax Cleaner, Maintenance Oil, and Polyx®-Oil, designed to clean, refresh, and protect wood surfaces.

Cleaning and Maintenance Procedures
Regular cleaning with Osmo Wash and Care is recommended for wood floors treated with Polyx®-Oils. Liquid Wax Cleaner can refresh dull floors, while Maintenance Oil helps restore dull and matt surfaces.

Spot Repairs and Application Techniques
Spot repairs on floors treated with Polyx®-Oil are possible without visible transitions. The process involves sanding the damaged area, applying Polyx®-Oil, and adjusting the gloss level with Liquid Wax Cleaner if necessary.

Tools and Equipment
Osmo provides various tools for applying wood finishes, including floor brushes, telescopic handles, and roller sets. The FloorXcenter machine is recommended for efficient cleaning and maintenance of large areas.

Recommendations for Wood Species
Osmo products are suitable for a variety of wood species, with specific recommendations for each type. Some woods, like Jatoba and Merbau, require special treatment due to their density.

Frequently Asked Questions
The document addresses common questions about changing floor color, surface preparation, handling damaged areas, and product application, emphasizing proper ventilation and the potential for mixing different Osmo finishes.

Safety and Environmental Considerations
Osmo products are based on natural oils and waxes, safe for humans, animals, and plants once dry. However, caution is advised with materials soaked in the product due to the risk of self-ignition.

FLOOR PREPARATION WELL-PREPARED FOR PERFECT RESULTS You can feel if your floor has been sanded correctly. Finely sanded wood soothes the senses. Its surface is completely smooth and yet full of life. Unlike synthetic or metal surfaces, you can always touch the growth rings in wood. Along the grain this organic material feels smooth; against the grain it fells dull. So make sure you always work along the wood grain.
