Maintenance tips
Immediately following the installation of the pre-oiled floor, it is important to thoroughly clean it with a well-wrung damp mop followed by the use of the “Ancestral Cleaner”.
The “Ancestral cleaner” is specially formulated to properly protect pre-oiled floors, ensure a better patina and enhance its waterproofing features. Along with water, the “Ancestral cleaner” is the only recommended product for cleaning your pre-oiled floor.

Please keep in mind that wood floors should never be flooded with water, but wiped with a soft damp cloth or well-wrung mop as needed. Periodic use of the “Ancestral cleaner” will keep your floor conditioned and fresh appearing.
