Bona Oiled Floor Cleaner Refill 2.5L
If you are the owner of a natural looking hardwood floor, you are probably the owner of an oiled floor. If you were not aware of that, then you have probably already managed to do some damage to your floors. Many people that own very matt or natural looking wooden floors, are pretty sure that their floor has no sealer on it and it is 100% natural. That is not the case in 100% of the cases because a piece of wood without any protector and exposed to intense daily traffic, would last about 6 months before it will start disintegrating. There might be a chance that your floor is sealed with an ultra matt lacquer, but that is rarely the case.
The Difference Between Oiled Floors And Lacquered Floors
The difference is very clear but not visible. In reality, to be able to know the difference between an ultra matt water based floor lacquer and a floor oil, you need to be a well experienced floor cleaning professional. Both finishes look similar and are natural looking. But the difference is made by the maintenance routine and the way the floor has to be refreshed.
Oiled Floors | These floors are usually sealed with a natural floor oil that in most cases does not glaze the surface and has no sheen. The floor oils are usually manufactured from a blend of organic oils and some added hardeners. Some floor oils are clear, some are coloured, some are invisible, some have a wet look and so on. A floor oil will maintain the natural aspect of the wood without creating an artificial finish. There is a variation of the floor oil. Called hardwax oil, it glazes the surface and it creates a finish similar to the floor lacquers, but that type of finish is less popular right now.
Floor Lacquers | The water based floor lacquers are manufactured from a mixture of acrylics, polyurethane and other types of solid contents. There are a number of sheen levels, but the ones that are confusing most people are the natural looking ones or the ultra matt ones. These products are nearly invisible when applied and it has dried. Protection wise, the water based floor lacquers are much more durable than the floor oils and require way less care and maintenance. The old lacquers used to create a very fake and artificial finish, but the new ones look and behave just like the floor oil.
