Oil treatment - Protective treatment

Applying the floor oil to the floor coverings using the multi squeegee, painting equipment or the LS single-brush machine with the spray unit and the red scrubbing pad. Suitable for porous, absorbent, non-textile floor coverings.

01

Preparatory work

  • Select suitable products to match the surface to be protected (type / square metres).

  • Put up the warning sign.

  • If required:
    Remove fine to medium scratches in the floor covering. Dry sanding.

  • If necessary: Remove the adhering dirt (single-stage scrubbing or single-stage wet scrubbing and wet vacuuming).

  • After wet cleaning:
    Leave the floor covering to dry completely.

  • Remove any loose dirt (dust-binding mopping or dry vacuum cleaning).

02

Main task

  • Pour a little bit of undiluted wood oil onto the dry, clean floor covering and apply with the application tool and apply it evenly, moving in slightly overlapping passes in circular movements and leave to soak.

  • If necessary: After 10 minutes, oil the oiled section again, pour a little wood oil on the freshly oiled section and spread as described in step 1 of the main work. Repeat this step until the covering is saturated with oil.

  • After 10 minutes, remove excess oil completely with the painting tool and clean coating. No oil should remain on the surface and dry up.

  • Perform a visual check.

  • For the next section, pour a little wood oil on the edge of the oiled surface and spread as described above. Repeat steps 1 to 3 of the main work until the whole surface is oiled. Work in sections and backwards towards the exit.

  • Leave the floor covering to dry for 3 days.

  • Fine sanding: Work the oiled surface with the HS single-disc machine and the blue scouring pad in overlapping paths and circular movements, trim the wood fibres that are sticking up.

  • Turn or replace the dirty pad in good time, then continue working with the single-disc machine until the entire surface has been worked.

  • Perform a visual check.

03

Final steps

  • Remove the warning sign once the floor covering is dry.

  • Wash out the used covers an pads and dispose of them in a fire-safe container.

  • Check the cable, clean it and roll it up loosely.

  • Dispose of any waste. Clean the cleaning equipment and replace as needed.
