Cleaning and care of natural wood floors

Please note our cleaning and care tips

Dirt, dust and small stones can scratch the surface in the long term and damage the wood. Therefore, the basis of any parquet care is simple cleaning.

1. Sweeping and vacuuming correctly

The gentlest way to sweep the floor is with a broom. When using a vacuum cleaner, an attachment with an integrated brush should be used. In this way, dust and dirt are gently removed from the floor surface and more severe soiling or damage can be prevented.

2. It depends on the rag

Avoid microfiber cloths that do not come from a specialist. These can abrade the wood and damage the protective surface. If in doubt, reach for a good old cotton cloth.

3. Wet cleaning with measure and purpose

Mopping with a damp cloth is sufficient – please never drown the floor in too much water.

4. Wait and see and drink tea

After wet cleaning, the parquet floor must dry completely. This takes about 30 minutes.

The surface should not be walked on during this time.

5. Re-oiling

6. Professional basic cleaning

After a few years, a professional thorough cleaning should be carried out. This can refresh the color and give it a new shine. To do this, the floor is first deep-cleaned with a cleaning machine. A fresh coat of oil is then applied. This basic cleaning should be carried out by a specialist in order to maintain the shine and durability of the parquet.
