Oiled Wooden Floors
The surface of oiled flooring has been treated with a special oil mixture,
which is based on natural vegetable oils. This does not contain formaldehyde
nor does it release into the room any harmful substances. In order to
preserve oiled floors, treat it carefully following the instructions below.

| Reconditioning
of Oiled wooden Flooring Scratches and minor damage can be treated as follows. - Clean the area to be repaired following the instructions above. - Repair small scratches with the Liquid Wax Cleaner. Scratches, which do not disappear with this treatment can be treated again with Hardwax Oil. - In public areas we recommend that you treat the floor once every 1-5 years depending on use, with Hardwax-Oil as instructed in the package. Do not sand the floor. In private residences reconditioning of the floor is needed once in 10-15 years, if the floor has been taken care of as recommended here. There is no need to treat the whole floor, if only a small area is damaged. |

| Lacquered
Floor The surface of lacquered flooring has been finished with five coats of hardwearing UV hardened acrylic lacquer. It has no formaldehyde content or does it emit any other harmful additives into the room space. In order to maintain the beauty of your lacquered floor, follow our simple maintenance instructions. |
|
| Cleaning Use mats on both sides of your front door, so as little as possible grit and other loose dirt is carried onto the floor. Remove particles with a vacuum cleaner or a brush. When you want to clean the floor thoroughly, 'dry' wipe it with a barely-moist cloth. A drop of any neutral washing liquid can be added to the washing water if required and your cloth dipped in it and well squeezed out before wiping the floor. If liquid is spilt on the floor, wipe it off immediately. We do not recommend any conditioner for parquet floors. They are pre-treated to stay carefree and beautiful. If the lacquer surface becomes scratched and worn, re-lacquer it with a conditioning lacquer. Do not use wax. |

l e a n i n g a n d C a r e of Admonter N a t u r a l Floors By buying Admonter Natural Floors, you have chosen a natural product with a long lifetime. However, wooden floors with an oiled & waxed finish and to a lesser extent with a lacquered surface require regular cleaning and care so that their beauty and resistance can be maintained. For the durability of your floor it is very important to use the appropriate cleaning and care products in the right way from the beginning. |
|
| The dirt and wear resistance
of ecologically oiled & waxed surfaces is only guaranteed by cleaning
with ADMONTER CLEAN & POLISH and by care with ADMONTER FLOORMILK.
For lacquered surfaces use MIRACLEAR , a special care for polyurethane
surfaces. |
|
| Immediately after the installation
it is important to apply a coat of ADMONTER FLOORMILK (basic requirement
for the wear resistance of the surface!) |
|
| 1. Wipe your floor with
Admonter Clean & Polish (add 2 3 tops to warm water) using a damp
mop. Do not allow the floor to become too wet. This will clean the
floor. 2. Apply Admonter Floor milk undiluted on the clean surface and spread it evenly with a damp cloth. This will provide protection. 3. Let the floor dry for approx. 20-30 minutes. 4.Then polish the floor by using a hand buffer (see picture) or a polishing machine (white pad!). Your floor gets a beautiful, silky-matt sheen. |
 |
| For dirtier spots, you
may use ADMONTER CLEAN & POLISH undiluted, then wipe with clear
water. |
|
| Regular care: when your
floor looks dull, treat with floor milk diluted with water 1:1. Floor
milk can also be used neat if necessary. |
