PREPARATION

Prior to the re oiling of floors, the area should be clean and dry.

Rejuvenation is easily carried out when the floor either looks too dry, dull or does not repel water.

On no sanding is required therefore no dust is created. Remove all small items of furniture, mats, etc off the floor. Large furniture pieces may be left in place. Thoroughly vacuum and clean the area with the Livos TRENA PH Neutral Cleaner #556 and ensure the surface is completely dry.

If the surface is badly soiled, cleaning with the Latis Intensive Cleaner #551 may be required. Alternatively one may use a maroon pad (light abrasive) under a canterbury or polyvac machine, and then oil.

REJUVENATION

YOU WILL NEED:

Original oil or Kunos Maintenance oil

Clean cloths/rags for small areas

(optional) Buffing machine and white pad for large areas

Air tight sealed container for used rags/pads etc.

*****see safety information.*****

Small Highly Stressed Areas eg. Kitchen

Simply apply a few drops of the original oil or alternatively, the Kunos Maintenance oil #1862 onto the cleaned surface with a soft polishing cloth. Leave for 10-15 minutes. Wipe the surface dry. Stay off the area overnight.

Large Areas

It may be more practical to use a machine for large areas.

Work a small amount of the original oil used into the surface with a white pad (soft, non abrasive). Very little oil is used to rejuvenate the surface. Usually no more than a teaspoon per sqm. Wipe off any excess oil left on the surface after 10-15 minutes. Work in small areas. Remain off the floor overnight.

Frequently Wet Areas

On frequently sprinkled areas (walls, floor, benches etc.), remove water droplets as they occur, otherwise hard to remove traces of calcium and other minerals dissolved in water, can build up leaving grey and white veils on the surface after many years of usage. A few drops of oil now and again works wonders.

Professional Rejuvenation

If you would like a professional rejuvenation, depending on area and state of the floor an indication of price is $300-$500, please ring us to discuss or clarify when required.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Always be sure to store cleaning rags, sponges, carpet remnants, etc. that are still wet or even slightly moist with Livos oils in an airtight metal container or in water, as there is a danger of spontaneous combustion caused by the linseed oil in the product. The product alone will not undergo spontaneous combustion.
