Apply two thin coats, sanding between coats

First Coat: Apply one thin coat, allow product to dry and then lightly sand with P320 or above.

  1. Spray approx. 20-40 g/m² onto the wood surface
  2. Dust dry after approx. 2-3 hours at 20ºc or approx. 1 hour with 50ºc ambient air temperature
  3. Ready for sanding after 6-8 hours or 2-3 hours, respectively
  4. Intermediate sanding P320 grit – a higher grit will produce a higher-end sheen

Cleaning And Maintenance Made Simple

Although extremely tough and highly durable, a hardwax-oil finish, like all others is not indestructible and does require maintenance over time. With periodic cleaning and maintenance, surfaces treated with Osmo can have the same beauty decades later.

Surfaces should be regularly cleared of dirt and debris. To clean surfaces finished with Osmo, use the Osmo Wash and Care (for flooring) or Osmo Spray Cleaner (for smaller surfaces) only. This detergent contains a small amount of the natural oils in the finish to maintain a hydrated surface. To minimise ordinary staining and scratches, place breathable mats on flooring around sinks and other food prep areas, entryways, or other areas exposed to outdoor elements. If flooring or surfaces begin to stain easily and water stops beading on the surface, it may be an indication that it’s time for a refresh!

Wash and Care detergent – can be used at a concentrated level (up to 1:1) to remove stains. This is particularly effective against acidic stains.

Liquid Wax Cleaner – This wax concentrate is effective against grease and oil-based stains. Doesn’t require diluting and should be applied directly to the stain and gently scrubbed.

Tannin Spot Remover – Highly effective removal of black spots and other stains caused by things such as metal and water in contact with tannin-containing woods. ie. Oak.

Minor scratches and blemishes can be easily repaired with Liquid Wax Cleaner. Apply directly to the affected area and gently scrub. This will make damage less visible and restore moisture resistance to the surface.

Osmo Maintenance Oil is ideal for maintaining the Osmo finish on flooring and is highly recommended for high-traffic areas like entryways, stairs and commercial interiors (restaurants etc). Clean debris away with a vacuum and ensure the surface is dry. With an Osmo Double Blade Scraper or Osmo Microfibre Roller, apply thinly and evenly in the direction of the grain. Buff with a White Scotchbrite Pad until excess is removed and allow 3-4 hours to dry. For smaller areas, Osmo Maintenance Oil can be applied with a lint-free cloth.
