If you want your floor to stay looking as good as the day you bought it, we recommend starting a regular system of maintenance from day one. How often you maintain your floor will depend on how you use and treat it.

 

A BOEN floor, whether treated with lacquer or oil, has a surface which protects the floor from damage. Over time, this surface will wear down and must be replaced on a regular basis.

Ambient climate

Both you and your BOEN floor will benefit from a healthy ambient climate. A room temperature of 20 to 22 degrees Celsius and relative humidity of about 50 to 65 % will provide ideal conditions for you and your floor. It goes without saying that  rooms should not just be heated but also regularly aired. Especially in new buildings it is possible that residual damp from walls and floors make it necessary to use de-humidifiers.

Cleaning

For normal domestic cleaning all you need is a mop, a brush or a vacuum cleaner. In everyday cleaning you add 50 ml "Parquet Cleaner" to 10 litres of water and then moisten the floor. Parquet should never be sumersed, because the wood will swell and be damaged. This means the cleaning solution should be removed immediately. See special information on lacquered, oiled or untreated floors!
