Why does dirt often get trapped in wooden floors?

Wooden floors, especially oiled ones, have a porous surface that can absorb dirt and moisture if not properly maintained. The issue worsens with irregular or incorrect cleaning, such as using harsh cleaning agents that can break down the protective oil layer. This leaves the wood pores exposed, allowing dirt to accumulate and making it harder to remove. Additionally, imperfections like scratches or small damages provide ideal spots for dust and grime to settle. In high-traffic areas, both residential and commercial, a lack of regular protection and maintenance can cause dirt to adhere more easily, making cleaning more challenging.

Bona Oil Care saturates wood pores and prevents dirt absorption, making cleaning easier.

To make wooden floors easier to clean and protect against dirt absorption, Bona Oil Care is an effective solution. This maintenance oil penetrates deep into the wood’s pores, creating a saturated surface that repels dirt and moisture. Before applying Bona Oil Care, it’s important to clean the floor thoroughly with Bona Oil Soap or Bona Deep Clean Solution. Once the oil is applied and dried, the wood surface becomes more resistant to dirt and easier to maintain. Regular use of Bona Oil Care not only keeps floors looking clean and polished but also extends their lifespan by preventing further wear and dirt accumulation.
