OSMO liquid Wax cleaner
Liquid Wax cleaner - interior use -
Liquid Wax Cleaner is ideal for use on floors and other timbers which need more than a general clean, or are looking a bit faded. It has been formulated for rejuvenating previously oiled timber floors and furniture. The wax rejuvenates and cleans at the same time. It is easy to use and very economical, with 1 litre covering 80 - 100 square metres. Perfect for removing any heavy stains or light scratches. Based on natural carnuba and candelilla waxes, as well as containing a small amount of Polyx Oil.
Liquid Wax Cleaner can be buffed in by hand using a soft lint free cloth; with the Optiset, using the micro fibre cloth or with the FloorXcentre using either the white polishing pad, or micro fibre pad.

Maintaining surfaces finished with OSMO Polyx Oil
The key to getting the best from your OSMO finished floor over its lifetime, is to use the correct maintenance products which will care for, and protect the timber. Caring for the floor should include:
-
Regular sweeping with a soft broom to remove dust and dirt.
-
Regular damp mopping the floor using Wash and Care.
-
Occasional maintenance and reconditioning of high traffic areas using the Liquid Wax Cleaner
-
Repair of damaged surfaces using a thin coat of Polyx Oil.
The use of the Opti Set for smaller areas, or a FloorXcentre machine for larger areas is recommended.
CARING FOR FURNITURE FINISHED WITH OSMO POLYX OIL
In a commercial situation, timber furniture such as tables, chairs. Benchtops etc which have been correctly coated with Osmo finishes are automatically water and dirt resistant. However, the surfaces will need to be maintained on an on-going basis. The degree of maintenance depends upon the degree of usage.
Damp cleaning:
For frequent cleaning, we recommend using Osmo Spray Cleaner, which is a pre mixed solution in a ready to use 500ml trigger pack. The solution contains soaps based on natural plant oils. The ingredients are water soluble and prevent streaking and layer build up. Especially mild on skin, the solution is biodegradable, and is free from dyes, solvents and emissions. The surface remains food safe. Use as often as required.
Avoid using regular household or harsh chemical detergents, as these are designed to dissolve grease and oil, and over time, will break down the Osmo finished surface.
Rejuvenation:
Should the furniture become faded or dull, after continual usage or incorrect maintenance over time, it may need some form of rejuvenation. In a commercial situation, this rejuvenation could be weekly, monthly or whenever it is considered necessary. In most cases, the use of Osmo’s Liquid Wax Cleaner Spray will be all that is required. Use the spray sparingly. Apply an even, thin coat over the whole area, and then buff the timber
If the timber has a stubborn stain, use a fine white scotchbrite abrasive pad to remove. Alternatively, fine grade steel wool could be used. Once the stain has been removed, apply a thin coat of wax spray and buff the timber.
For areas which are scratched or badly worn, the timber will need sanding to remove the scratches, and another coat of Osmo Polyx Oil applied. We recommend this level of maintenance is carried out by a professional.
Both the Spray Cleaner and Liquid Wax Spray are in ready to use packs. For commercial situations, Osmo’s Wash and Care concentrate can be diluted with water and used to refill the Spray Cleaner trigger pack. Wash and Care is available in 1 and 5 litre containers. Similarly, the Liquid Wax Cleaner is available in 500 ml and 1 litre cans of concentrate. The concentrate is applied directly to the timber by cloth straight from the can.
