If your wood flooring has an oiled finish, it's essential that you keep the coating of your flooring in a good condition, this can be done by oiling it often as this will reduce the amount of scratches, chips and scrapes on the surface. In order to help protect your floor coating, we advise that regular and thorough cleaning is provided as this will help to keep the floor free from dirt and dust. Grit and dust are the worst when it comes to oil coated wood floors, this is because they are abrasive and can remove the oil coating, leaving the flooring exposed. We recommend that you should provide oil maintenance to your flooring every 6 to 10 months, this will ensure your floorings longevity.
