What Causes Uneven Wear on Oiled Floors?

Dull spots on wooden floors often result from daily wear, dirt accumulation, moisture, or the use of unsuitable cleaning products. In high-traffic areas, the protective oil layer can wear down, leading to an uneven appearance. Other causes include insufficient maintenance or infrequent cleaning. Oiled floors have a protective layer that nourishes and safeguards the wood, but without regular upkeep, this layer can dry out and become damaged. This results in matte zones and worn areas that negatively impact the floor’s overall appearance. This issue is common in commercial spaces where floors endure heavy use but also occurs in busy household environments.

Bona Oil Care restores damaged areas and evens out the appearance with a plant-based, safe oil formula.

Restoring dull spots and uneven wear on oiled floors is easy with Bona Oil Care. This maintenance oil, formulated with plant-based oils, penetrates deep into the wood’s pores to restore its natural appearance. Before application, thoroughly clean the floor with Bona Oil Soap or Bona Deep Clean Solution. Apply a thin layer of Bona Oil Care using a Bona Wool Pad or a white pad, then remove any excess. After a minimum of 12 hours drying time, the floor will look even and refreshed. This low-VOC formula is not only effective but also safe for people and the environment. Regular use prevents further wear and preserves the floor’s natural beauty.
