KÄHRS OIL

Drying Time After a drying time of 5 hours the floor can be used with care, but needs 12 hours before lighter furniture can be moved back. Wait 24 hours to move back carpets and heavier furniture. Health and Environment Kährs Satin Oil contains N-Paraffins. Inhaling or frequent exposure may be hazardous. Avoid inhaling fumes. Usual precautions for handling chemical products should be observed. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use protective goggles and gloves. In case of ingestion , immediately seek medical advice and refer to container and label. For further information, please see the Material Safety Data Sheet. AFTER INSTALLATION Kährs oil finished floors should be given a supplementary surface treatment with Kährs Satin Oil. The main reason for this is to prevent water penetrating the joints between boards through capillary action. MAINTENANCE ON DEMAND How often the floor then needs maintaining depends on use, cleaning, exposure to sun light etc. A couple of additional, more frequent, maintenance treatments carried out in the first year gives an extra-strong, moisture-resistant and easily cleaned surface. The normal frequency of subsequent maintenance is at least twice a year. Remember that areas subjected to greater wear than the rest of the floor can be given localized maintenance. The higher the frequency, the better the results. The surface to be maintained must be dry and free of dust and dirt. Instruction 1. Vacuum clean the floor carefully. 2. Clean the floor using Kährs Cleaner and Micro Mop. Follow the Kährs Cleaner instructions. Only damp cleaning, the surface should be dry again within a minute. For very dirty floors replace the micro mop using a rough brush. 3. Remove cleaner and dirt using a wrung out cloth. 4. Dry the surface using a dry cloth and leave the floor to dry for 30 minutes. For very dirty floors or on floors with heavy textures, it might be necessary to repeat step 2-4. 5. Apply a thin layer of Kährs Satin Oil on the surface and spread it evenly with a Kährs Micro Mop or a dry cloth by scrubbing along the texture. Polish again with a new Micro Mop after 10-15 minutes so that no sticky parts are left. Please observe that two layers of thin oil gives a better result than one thick layer. Applying a too high amount of oil will result in a sticky surface. Recommended Dosage After Installation: 1 l of Kährs Satin Oil per 200-300m2 Normal to lightly dirty floors: 100 ml (1 dl) of Kährs Satin Oil per 30m2 RENOVATION After extended use, it may be necessary to renovate the surface treatment and replace it with a new oil treatment. 1. Apply Kährs Cleaner evenly over the surface. 2. Clean the surface using Kährs micro mop. Scrub until the dirt has been dissolved. For very dirty floors replace the micro mop using a rough brush. 3. Remove cleaner and dirt using a wrung out cloth. 4. Dry the surface using a dry cloth and leave the floor to dry for 30 minutes. For very dirty floors or on floors with heavy textures, it might be necessary to repeat step 1, step 2, and step 3. 5. Apply Kährs Satin Oil on the surface. Use Kährs Micro Mop and spread the oil evenly. This is done by scrubbing both along and across the floor board until a very thin and even oil layer is reached. 6. Let the surface rest for 10-15 minutes. In case of surfaces with excessive wear it might be necessary to repeat point 5 and 7. Polish the surface using a new dry Micro Mop. This is done to secure that the oil has been evenly spread.   Please observe that two layers of thin oil gives a better result than 1 thick layer of oil. Applying a high amount of oil will result in a sticky surface.   Recommended dosage 100 ml (1 dl) of Kährs Satin Oil per 30m2.
