Skyline Floorscapes Initial Maintenance Instructions
Apply WOCA Oil Refresher immediately after installation is complete.
Oil Refresher is an oil/soap combination used for the regular cleaning of engineered hardwood. Oil Refresher, available in natural and white, combines efficient cleaning with re-oiling as additional oil penetrates into the wood, forming a protective layer within the surface of the floor. This means longer wear before re-oiling. Oil Refresher not only cleans and nourishes oiled floors but also forms a protective film on the floor after drying, making future cleaning quicker and easier.
Oil Refresher should not be used more than four times per year as this may create unwanted build-up. Floors requiring more frequent cleaning should be cleaned with WOCA Natural Soap, or use Master Soap for commercial areas. with intermittent use of Oil Refresher up to four times per year.
Never apply Oil Refresher to an oiled floor until at least 36 hours after the last oil application.
If too much Oil Refresher is used in solution, footprints may show on the floor even after drying. To remove excess Oil Refresher, clean the floor with WOCA Intensive Wood Cleaner. Use a good quality mop, such as the WOCA Swep Mop, which has no loose ends. Remember that a wood floor should only be damp mopped.
