Floor Care & Maintenance
HARDWOOD FLOOR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
WEEKLY: GENERAL CLEANING/DUSTING
Using the PALLMANN Hardwood Floor Dusting Pad, lightly dust the floor to remove large debris. A vacuum may also be used for large areas. The PALLMANN Hardwood Floor Cleaner can be used with the PALLMANN Microfiber Pad on a weekly basis or as needed to thoroughly clean your floors. Clean stubborn spots, spills, and shoe marks by spraying the PALLMANN Hardwood Floor Cleaner directly on the areas.
MONTHLY: INSPECTION
Inspect protector pads on furniture, and ensure that all walk-off mats are in proper locations. Visually inspect the wood floor for traffic patterns that may be present. If a traffic pattern is noticeable, it may be time to consult a wood flooring professional to discuss recoating options.
YEARLY: PROFESSIONAL DEEP CLEANING
Contact a professional hardwood flooring contractor to deep clean your wood floors using the PALLMANN Clean Strong product once a year. Over time, accumulation of everyday residues such as oils, grease, and dirt will occur on the hardwood floor. The residues will act as an abrasive which may cause premature finish wear. The PALLMANN Clean Strong product is a professional product that should only be used by a professional hardwood flooring contractor.
SEVERAL YEARS LATER: RECOAT
A new coat of finish may need to be applied to your wood floor several years after the initial application. This will ensure that you do not wear down the current finish to bare wood, causing expensive sanding procedures. Compared to re-sanding, re-coating is an inexpensive procedure that can often be completed in one day, with little to no dust in the home. We recommend using our dustless re-coating procedure PALL-X BOND and top coating with one of our waterborne finishes.
FLOOR CARE TIPS
- Avoid using water and vinegar, soaps, or waxes. Vinegar is an acid that will dull your floor finish over time. Soaps and waxes will leave residues on your floor's surface.
- When the microfiber pad becomes saturated with dirt, rinse with water in the sink. Use a new microfiber pad for every 500 sq. ft. of flooring to be cleaned.
- Always use entrance and walk-off mats at doorways that lead to the wood floors.
- Use furniture protector pads to prevent scratching or noticeable wear areas.

YEARLY: MAGIC OIL CARE
Frequency of application of Magic Oil Care will be dependent on the floor’s location and level of use. Magic Oil Care is not intended as an every day floor care product but only for occasional use to maintain the floor’s desired appearance. If the floor begins to show wear or lose its even matte appearance, Magic Oil Care can be applied to restore a fresh, even look. Please see the back of this brochure for application instructions of Magic Oil Care.
SEVERAL YEARS LATER: RECOAT
A new coat of Magic Oil may need to be applied to your wood floor several years after the initial application. This will ensure that you do not wear down the current application of Magic Oil to bare wood, causing expensive sanding procedures. Compared to resanding, reapplication of Magic Oil is an inexpensive procedure that often can be completed in one day. We recommend that you contact a Hardwood Flooring Professional for reapplication of Magic Oil options.
YEARLY MAGIC OIL CARE
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
- Vacuum and clean the floor using PALLMANN Hardwood Floor Cleaner (see General Cleaning).
- Shake Magic Oil Care well before using. It is recommended to ventilate the work area to ensure proper drying.
- Dilute 1 oz. PALLMANN Magic Oil Care with 10 oz. of water in a spray bottle. Spray mist the floor to achieve an even layer of Magic Oil Care over an area that can be mopped in a few seconds. Using a dampened microfiber mop, spread the misted area, working with the grain of the wood, and allow to dry.
Continue the procedure until the entire floor is uniformly covered. Be careful not to leave heavy lap lines or pooling. - Clean tools after use with water.
