Care & Maintenance Instructions for UV Oiled Floors

Dry Cleaning

The best way to remove loose, coarse dirt (e.g. dust and sand particles) is the regular use of a Vacuum, Soft Brush or Dust Mop. DO NOT USE A VACUUM WITH A BEATER BAR/BRUSH.

Routine Cleaning

After dry cleaning, clean your floor with ROYAL OAK COLLECTION Hydro Cleaner Wood

Floor Cleaner for sealed and oiled wood flooring.

• For use, spray a light mist over a 6 ft. x 6 ft. (or smaller) square area of the floor. Do not
  
  pour cleaner directly on the floor. Make light even strokes with a soft cotton cloth or applicator pad to get the desired results. Sponge, String Mops or saturated cloths are not recommended. Spray and mop one small area at a time until you have cleaned the entire surface. After drying, use Hydro Care to maintain your floor. Always test in an inconspicuous area prior to use.
  
  Protecting your floor
  
  Before applying ROYAL OAK COLLECTION Hydro Care Wood Floor Protector clean floor
  
  properly using Hydro Cleaner Wood Floor Cleaner.
  
  Gently shake to mix for 30 seconds. For use, squirt product onto the floor and spread.
  
  Work in sections small enough to keep the applicator pad wet. Smooth with the grain. Continue working in sections until the entire floor is finished. When finished, rinse applicator pad with water. Allow to dry at least 1 hour before walking.
  
  
• For best results: always perform a test on a small inconspicuous area that is representative of your whole floor to determine compatibility and to ensure you like the newly polished look before use. Do not apply product too thin or streaking will occur. Coat the entire floor to ensure an even appearance. Allow floor to dry completely before walking (typically 1 hour). A second coat may be applied after 2 hours. Allow 24 hours before heavy traffic. Protect Hydro Care from frost and freezing.
