Cleaning

Using a soft broom or a vacuum cleaner with a parquet attachment is enough to remove dust and dirt as part of everyday cleaning. To mop your f loor, use the Cleaner (add 25 ml per 5 litres of water) and wipe the floor damp. If there is severe soiling, increase the amount you add (50 ml per 5 litres of water).

Deep cleaning can remove serious, stubborn stains like grease or heel marks. We recommend the Deep Clean Solution for this. After cleaning, treat your parquet with the Polish Matt.

We recommend the Polish Matt specifically for the regular care of Live Matt lacquered parquet floors. It freshens the old lacquer up, protecting it and providing it with a surface that repels dirt.

The floor must be dry, clean and clear of any polish or wax before use. Apply a thin, even coat of the Polish Matt using a sponge or a cloth. Let the surface dry well before placing furniture, carpets and other objects back onto the floor. The Polish Matt is also a good option for spot cleaning.

How often should I perform this treatment?

• For moderately-used floors, e.g. in bedrooms and living rooms: once a year.

• For floors with moderate to heavy use, e.g. in hallways or in office spaces with public traffic: twice a year, depending on the intensity of use.

Intensive cleaning and spot removal

• The best solution for removing stubborn stains (wine, fruits, berries, juice, cream, soft drinks, beer, coffee, tea) is the Cleaner or a non-abrasive household cleaning agent.

• Shoe polish, sole rubber, tar, asphalt, oil, grease or chocolate stains can be removed using cleaning benzine (in small quantities, approx. 0.02 cl).

• Pen, printing and other ink, as well as lipstick, can be removed using alcohol (in small quantities, approx. 0.02 cl).

• The easiest way to remove blood stains is by using cold water.

Important note

For sealed hardwood floors: when you see clear signs of wear and tear on hardwood floors under heavy use, we recommend that they are sanded and resealed in order to preserve the intact surface over the long term.

Our tip:

Arrange regular inspections with your parquet installer.
