What to do about dry spots on oiled wooden floors?
How can I prevent and treat dry spots on my oiled wooden floor?
Oiled wooden floors have a beautiful, natural appearance. However, with daily use, dry spots can develop over time. These spots usually appear in high-traffic areas, such as near the doorway or in the kitchen, where the floor is heavily used. Dry spots occur when the oil in the floor wears away, leaving the wood exposed and vulnerable to drying out, staining, and wear. These spots can look dull and often feel rough to the touch. If these dry spots are not treated in time, the wood can continue to dry out, potentially leading to cracks or permanent damage. Therefore, it is important to take the right steps to protect and restore your floor as needed.
Treat the floor with Blue Dolphin Maintenance Oil to nourish dry spots and restore the floor's even appearance
The best way to treat dry spots on an oiled wooden floor is by nourishing the floor with Blue Dolphin Maintenance Oil. This maintenance oil is specially developed to protect and restore wooden floors treated with oil finishes, such as Blue Dolphin One Coat 2K Oil and Blue Dolphin Hardwax Oil. By applying the oil, the wood is nourished and protected against further drying out and wear. The result is a floor with a durable, water-repellent finish and a satin matte appearance that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. Before applying the oil, it is important to thoroughly clean the floor and make it dust-free. Shake the maintenance oil well and apply a thin, even layer with a lint-free cloth, such as the Blue Dolphin Polish Cloth. Allow the oil to absorb fully and ensure adequate ventilation during drying. The floor will be touch-dry after 6 to 12 hours. By performing this treatment regularly, such as annually, you can extend the life of your floor and ensure that it always looks its best.
