Cleaning instructions for solid wood and laminate flooring

A-fondo is a neutral detergent with a pleasant smell that is perfectly compatible with our complete flooring range. Instructions for use: clean surface carefully with a vacuum cleaner suitable for wooden flooring. Dilute the cleaner in water in proportions of about 2-3% (half a glass for 10 litres of water). Soak a cotton cloth in the liquid and wring out well, then wipe over the floor surface. If the liquid is diluted in these proportions, floors will not require rinsing. For especially stubborn dirt or stains - the liquid can be diluted at 5-10%, but flooring requires rinsing after washing.

Maintenance for flooring with eco biocompatible oil finish.

A-lungo olio, è una speciale miscela di cere pregiate con l’applicazione programmata nel tempo si contribuisce ad aumentare la durata della finitura.

A-lungo olio is a special mixture of quality waxes. Regular application will preserve and prolong the wood’s oil finish.
Instructions for use:
Clean the surface with a vacuum cleaner, and then lightly wash the floor with a-fondo. Once the surface is completely dry apply a fine layer of protective wax on the floor pouring very small amounts each time and spreading it evenly over the floor surface using a cotton cloth. Leave the surface to dry: drying action generally takes 1 to 2 hours, (although time will vary according to room temperature- the warmer the room the shorter the drying time).
We recommend the use of a floor polisher using a yellow pad for a perfect finish. It is advisable to apply a second coat of wax after 1 to 2 hours, leaving it to dry, followed by finishing with a white pad on the floor polisher. After the first coats, applied by the professional fitter after initial floor laying, to maintain the finish of your flooring over the years and to protect the surface, we recommend two applications during the first year, and at least one treatment a year after the second year. (Maintenance can be performed without the use of a floor polisher; however, the polisher will provide much better results). If the flooring is subject to very hard wear, treatment can be applied even every 4 to 6 months. A-LUNGO olio can be used more frequently to improve the surface effect. For this purpose, dilute the product in water at 50%.
