How do I apply maintenance oil correctly to my wooden floor for the best results?

Applying maintenance oil to a wooden floor is an essential part of the maintenance process. A well-maintained floor not only stays beautiful for longer but is also better protected against wear, moisture, and dirt. However, if the oil is not applied correctly, it can lead to an uneven result or insufficient protection of the wood. Therefore, it is important to know how to apply maintenance oil properly to ensure that your floor receives optimal protection and retains its natural appearance. A common issue is that the oil is applied too thickly, which can result in sticky or uneven surfaces. Additionally, it is crucial to allow the oil to dry thoroughly to avoid stains and footprints. How do you ensure that your wooden floor is properly treated with maintenance oil?

Use a lint-free cloth to apply a thin, even layer of Blue Dolphin Maintenance Oil and let it dry thoroughly

The best way to apply maintenance oil to a wooden floor is by using a lint-free cloth. Blue Dolphin Maintenance Oil is specially developed to protect and nourish wooden floors with an oil finish. Start by ensuring that the floor is clean and free of dust. Shake the maintenance oil well and then apply a thin, even layer with a lint-free cloth, such as the Blue Dolphin Polish Cloth. Work in the direction of the wood grain for the best results. It is important to apply the oil thinly so that it can absorb evenly into the wood without feeling sticky. Then, allow the oil to dry thoroughly, which usually takes 6 to 12 hours. Ensure that the room is well-ventilated during drying to speed up the process and to achieve a smooth, even finish. By following these steps carefully, you ensure that your wooden floor is optimally protected and retains its natural, satin matte appearance. This treatment is suitable for surfaces up to 75 m² per liter of oil, allowing you to treat a large floor area with one package.
