Oiled floors

Another finish used on wooden floors is (hardwax) oil. Usually two coats of oil are applied. The oil penetrates deep in to the wood and the impregnation will protect the surface. The floor may be cleaned with a water based cleaner as an oiled finish is not waterproof. Then the floor can be maintained with our maintenance oil. This type of floor can have a very natural matt appearance and damage and scratches are not always obvious. However, an oiled floor is more vulnerable to dirt.
