When Should You Choose Maintenance Oil Instead of Hardwax Oil?

Both maintenance oil and hardwax oil are commonly used for finishing and maintaining wooden floors. Hardwax oil combines oil and wax, creating a protective layer on the wood that repels wear and moisture. This makes it ideal as an initial finish for untreated floors. Maintenance oil, on the other hand, is designed for the periodic care of previously oiled floors. It nourishes the wood, replenishes the pores, and extends the protection without adding a new wax layer. This keeps the floor flexible and preserves its natural look.

Blue Dolphin Maintenance Oil is specially developed to maintain previously oiled floors and extend their protection.

Blue Dolphin Maintenance Oil is designed for the regular upkeep of wooden floors that have already been treated with oil. This product deeply nourishes the wood, prevents drying out, and restores water-repellent properties without forming an additional film layer. Unlike hardwax oil, which serves as a primary finish, maintenance oil ensures the long-term preservation of the existing protective layer. The oil is easy to apply with a lint-free cloth and dries within 6 to 12 hours. With annual maintenance using Blue Dolphin Maintenance Oil, an oiled floor remains in optimal condition.
