Hardwax Oil Maintenance Guide

WEST | WOOD’s Portfolio Collection offers various finishes and each type of finish has its own unique maintenance program. You will need to follow the maintenance plan according to the type of finish you purchased. We recommend using our Maintenance Products.

 

New Installation

After installation, a maintenance coat application by a flooring professional is strongly recommended. For the first 2 weeks after installation, reasonable precautions should be taken to protect from heavy foot traffic (especially hard soled shoes) and fluids.

 

Daily Cleaning

No matter which kind of floor you have or which type of finish is used, all hardwood floors should be cleaned regularly. Using a dust pad or vacuum on the floors should be done daily. This will keep the dirt and grit off the floor which if left can cause premature wear. Wipe up food and other spills with a dampened cleaning pad or paper towel.
