Floors should be cleaned using Rubio Monocoat Soap or Surface Care Spray on an as-needed basis. Higher traffic areas should be cleaned more frequently and will likely require more frequent maintenance.
It is recommended to never flood a hardwood floor with liquid. In addition, it is crucial to never use cleaners from other manufacturers. Most cleaners use solvents or have caustic qualities that may strip the protective finish of Rubio Monocoat oil.
Because Rubio Monocoat oil is made of natural ingredients and no toxic artificial hardeners are used, occasional maintenance is important the prolong the durability and life of the finish.
Depending on traffic, climate, and care, maintenance using Rubio Monocoat Renew is typically necessary within 2-6 years of initial finish.
When oiled surface begins to feel too dry or rough, finish has worn down due to heavy traffic, or liquids fail to bead up on finished surface, Renew can be used to rejuvenate the finish. Renew can be used on entire oil-finished surfaces or individual areas needing refreshing due to heavy use.
Simply apply Renew to the area, leave to react for 3-5 min, and wipe dry, being sure to remove all excess. Do not walk on or use the area for 4-6 hrs, letting it dry before light use.
